It really is a joke power figures aren't out. No more BS Jon, GT350 cannot be bought yet but I know power. The NSX hasn't so much as been given to reviewers.

I don't think the electric motors are working as expected so they are show casing or getting HP figures out!
The GT350 hasn't been given to reviewers, either. They've just had ride-alongs and, if you watch the video, it's hardly a near-maximum lap at that (lots of coasting).

You'll find out NSX numbers in late August, along with journalists' impressions on the track and full performance numbers.

You keep finding little things to whine about but the simple fact is, you've been wrong all along - the car is coming out, it's real, it's fast, it's quick and it's going to be better than you ever imagined. And you could've bought one (so you say)...

I'm looking forward to all that info, and I hope they meet/exceed our expectations! Been so long since Honda has done anything of that sort.

I'll never be able to afford this car, but if they can execute the NSX well this second time around, then my hopes will be high for a lower priced sports car successor to the S2000.

A friend of mine sent me this, which a friend of his supposedly got in person. This is in Death Valley, CA.

Those 'new' wheels are gross

Are they trying to outdo the 1990 OEM NSX rims in being the ugliest NSX rims ever?

ps. All 2016 RDX rims are also gross

They seriously need to ditch those wheels. They kill the asthetics.

If we're talking about the wheels on the background car..I don't think they'd look half as bad if they were the same color as the wheels on the closer car.

They're still pretty terrible although would be less garish painted. Not sure how anyone figured these wheels would be suitable on this car.
