$150k for a car that is more expensive to build than the old NSX? I hope it comes out at that price!

Another vid:

It's looks like a collection of some of the other footage as well as a bit of "town" driving.

OMG!!! I watched it like 10 times...LOL...It sounds even better than the other video.

Well you know that its their doing final/official testings when they have a Porsche 911 following behind them (and in this case also in front).

IS THE REAR SLIDING @ 3:10

WHAT A BEAST!!!

Comparing just the speed of the NSX entering and exiting the corners, it does seem to be quicker than the old GTR vids. (unless this NSX vid is being played in fast motion)

MUGEN finally has something awesome to work with.

The article did not say it will be listed at $150K, it stated that it will be ABOVE the $150K mark... Can be $170K or $200K for all we know....

I know I exagerated it a bit but my point is just that they do hit 100% VE narrowly and over on tuned engines. VE means how much air is filled in the cylinder per RPM. If it's fully filled then its 100% VE. 80% filled is 80% VE. Thats where that paragraph after vtec came from. Thats what I learnt anyway.:)

It came from the Herald Sun so the figures mean nothing anyway.

I like the front but not the rear.... especially the stacked square exhaust.

Look's like an S2000 had sex with a Maserati
