Well you have to remember they're mid engine so they have less drivetrain loss.. Plus we all know Nissan (sadly) over rates their HP ratings.. Plus the NSX is lighter..

What made the NSX a supercar in it's time was the car's design, the extensive use of aluminum & mid engine layout. |

If anything they underrate them. The US SAE closely regulates what manufacturers advertise for power figures, more often then not they are underrated. Never seen a Nissan that was overrated in power from the factory. |
