Anyway, remember that my original post was a conjecture on why the NSX, as a supercar, was underpowered in the late 90s early 2ks.
its not really a super car tho. imho, its a nice car, but not a super car

You're right in that by the end of the 90s it wasn't a super car, but if the 911 turbo S, 458 italia, etc. are currently super cars, then the NSX was a super car in 1990 -- the predecessors of those cars were what the NSX was designed to compete against.

But it didn't evolve and by the time it ended production it was way behind the class of car it was designed to compete against -- Ferrari went from the 348 to the 355 to the 360 all while the NSX was basically unchanged.

All my opinion of course :tup:

Most Porsches aren't. The Turbo S is pretty impressive though -- 196 mph, 0-60 3.1 seconds -- the 458 italia has a higher top speed, but is not quite as quick to 60. By "Supercar" I don't necessarily mean 600K or 1 million dollar dream cars.
