Few people will recall the the absolute ripples and waves the Honda NSX created in the "exotic" market. I won't name who specifically, but I recall somebody stating in terms other than just metrics it put the "fear of God in to the opposition."

In certain respects. It did.

@bezza. 91 Nsx weights 170lbs less than 3.2 with six speed 20+hp. For the track the coupe has better chassis and suitable for cornering. Also the suspension is more toed in and aggressive than 3.2 and smaller wheels is less turn faster, larger wheels help top speed. I believe in the numbers.

1st, it has to be 0-100 km/h, not to 96 km/h, for me is almost the same, but it has to be like that, and the other thing, you have to post a source

Did this car really do 8 mins 16 round the Nurburgring? What tyres was it on? The time seems impossibly quick for an early NSX, given that later 996 Carreras and E46 M3s, much qicker vehicles are slower than this...Im intruiged by this lap time!

Since 160km/h is not quite 100mph, the 0-160km/h time should be (at worst) 12.0, not 12.5. Where is that from?
