That's stretching it. A stock 355 will rape a comparable stock NSX. The NSX better compares (and beats) the mostly unloved 348.
F355's run high 12's at best..they weren't the fastest of Ferraris.
A 3.2L NSX with a decent driver should easily keep up with it.

The 355 generally runs to 60 in 4.4 to 4.6 seconds and the 1/4 mile in the 12.7 - 12.9 range (like you stated). The 3.2L NSX is good for a 60 mph time in the 4.8 - 5.0 second range with a 13.1 - 13.2 1/4 mile time the norm. The 355 will also hold a skidpad better than an NSX. On a track with comparable drivers the 355 dominates the NSX, put a duff in the Ferrari and yes maybe the NSX "keeps" up. The 355 has 85 more HP along with 44 lb-ft torque while giving up a little more weight. I owned a 91' Formula Red NSX prior to my S2000 and was very active at NSX Prime, I know what they can and cannot do. Any 355 would easily hand my 3.0L 91' NSX its ass. The NSX is a great car and I would own another, it is not a threat to the 355 however.

The S2k uses a mazda developed frame right? it has 50:50 distribution like all the RX cars since the FC right?
As much as i like the FD, it looks to me like the RX-8 has equal potential while being more practical and it has a better engine design that is much more reliable than the REW.
