Few people will recall the the absolute ripples and waves the Honda NSX created in the "exotic" market. I won't name who specifically, but I recall somebody stating in terms other than just metrics it put the "fear of God in to the opposition."
In certain respects. It did.

Hi,
Seems like it’s a nice blog. So let us also add something useful in it. With all positive manufacturing data scope of import and export is increasing day by day. In mechanical field everyone want to have one stop shop for there manufacturing needs. So Relicaexpo is the ultimate solution for them.

@bezza. 91 Nsx weights 170lbs less than 3.2 with six speed 20+hp. For the track the coupe has better chassis and suitable for cornering. Also the suspension is more toed in and aggressive than 3.2 and smaller wheels is less turn faster, larger wheels help top speed. I believe in the numbers.
phavyarden 15y ago
1st, it has to be 0-100 km/h, not to 96 km/h, for me is almost the same, but it has to be like that, and the other thing, you have to post a source
J 15y ago
Since 160km/h is not quite 100mph, the 0-160km/h time should be (at worst) 12.0, not 12.5. Where is that from?

62, i mean 62 miles an hour?? why not an even number...like 60?? why an uneven number??
850ci guy 17y ago
Can someone put a better pic here?
And how about updating those 0-60's to 5.4 and 1/4 to 13.5 as specified in 3-4 links provided in above posts? - Thank you.
Anonymous 18y ago
TT Supra Titan do you have any data for 0-62mph times as Fastestlaps.com doesn't use 0-60mph times. If the NSX can do a 5.0 0-60 I guess its 0-62 would be around 5.3sec
TT Supra Titan 18y ago
Actually the 91 3.0 stock NSX runs:
5.03 sec 0-60 and 13.47 1/4mi
http://www.nsxprime.com/FAQ/Media/magazines/1990-12-sci.htm
The Heavier 95 3.0 coupe as mentioned before is not a Type-R if it were it would have the Red Recaro seats and 5 Spoke Enkei-made wheels.
Leather and the 7 spoke OEM's are not available in type-R. Plus the magazine does not say type-r anywhere.
http://www.nsxprime.com/FAQ/Media/magazines/1995-01-performancec
ar.htm
Then here is the even heavier NSX-T 3.0 doing 5.7 0-60http://www.nsxprime.com/FAQ/Media/magazines/1996-08-motorsport.htm
The confusion comes from the 91-94 3.0L non-powersteering early cars to the 95-96 3.0L Targa available cars. the targa was 200lbs heavier than 91-94 the 95-96 coupe was still 125lbs heavier than 91-94. thats why they uped the power in 1997 3.2L to accomodate the post 1995 Targa 3200lb frame.
so.. these are the corrected numbers
91-94 NSX 3.0L 5.03 sec 0-60 & 13.47 1/4
95-96 NSX 3.0L 5.4 sec 0-60 & 13.57 1/4
95-96 NSX-T 3.0L 5.7sec 0-60 & 13.7 1/4
Read all about it here...
http://www.nsxprime.com/FAQ/Media/magazines/magazine.htm
Plus if you know anything up you know you can get any NSX coupe into the 4.5 sec 0-60 range and 12sec 1/4s with $5k in bolt-ons and run 200k miles with no issues. NSX is Non-Turbo because it is road race ready thats damn fast for reliable NA power.
