The NSX was a supercar when it first came out -- fastest ring lap for a production vehicle at the time. Further improvements to power were hindered during the '90s by Japan's 276 HP limit -- any Japanese car sold in the JDM could not exceed 276 HP. Given that situation during the 90s I'm guessing that not a lot of effort was put into making higher power engines. So when the update for the model finally came out, it was too little too late.
I would still rather have one of those than almost any American car made in the last 20 years.
