Default Honda's (er, Acura's) NSX

Honda has decided to produce a version that costs about six times as much- the JDM- only NSX-R GT.
At about $500,000 per copy, there was never going to be a large market for this car. But Honda reportedly only going to build five in Aug. And if you didn't order yours in Mar., its already too late to get one of them...

Its just an NSX with a bodykit. They had to make it in compliance for some competitions that required X amount of cars in produciton.

Not only that, the actual competing one is like turbocharged 500 horses I think. The 1/2 mil one remains N/A b/c of their non-FI philosophy!

BTW, all of these NSX's are sold out too! As if the regular NSX wasn't a ripoff already, this one people STILL buy! http://www.rsportscars.com/eng/cars/nsx-r_gt.asp

Yeah I read about this NSX in a magazine. The engine remains untouched but there are adjusments to the suspension and the body kit is carbon fiber. I doubt that honda will sell a car stock that's turbocharged because they believe in their own technology. The NSX is already fast with a 0-60 in 4.5-4.8 seconds. Now with a carbon fiber body kit, I cant imagine how fast it will go.

Does anyone know how fast the turbo'd one is? I didn't realize the NSX-R was that fast with only 280 hp.
