Just Traded for used 2009 370Z

You can see pictures of the two NSX I had at
Pete's NSX
and
Pete's 2nd NSX

As for not being a supercar, the NSX came out in 1991 and its Ferrari competition was the 348. The NSX was faster, cheaper, more reliable, and all aluminum with VTEC compared to the steel framed Ferrari. As for the Mclaren F1, its designer, Gordon Murray, says the NSX was the car that inspired it.
Gordon Murrary says McLaren F1's benchmark was NSX - Lamborghini Forum

As a magazine recently said, the NSX was tuned by Ayrton Senna:
Ayrton Senna & Acura NSX - The Asphalt Jungle Editorial - Motor Trend

And as every article on the Audi R8 mentions, it is the spiritual successor to the NSX.

It isn't a supercar in 2010, or even 2000 (though Ferrari was just catching up), but it was a supercar in 1991. Like the Lamborghini Countach (which weighed more, was slower to 60 and had a lower top speed) once a supercar, always a supercar.
