Default Guesses for NSX replacement

Since Honda Stated an NSX replacement is 3-4 yr away, lets take guesses on what the new car will be.
Here are my guesses:

3.5 L stage whatever Vtec V10 RPM 10500
new record HP/L
that new SH all wheel drive
7 speed paddles
that FIA banned BAR Honda F1 propulsion drive(lose no momentum during upshifts)
part Composite frame
2850 lb
Ceremic Brakes
and all the Usual refinements

Not sure about all that. The Ferrari FXX 6.2L makes 800hp ~129hp/L so put it at 450hp for 3.5L. I'll buy one if it's at your specs: 450hp, 2850 lbs. So long as it's under $110K and so long as I don't buy a C6 Z06 in the meantime.

3-4 years is a long time for me to wait especially since I don't want to buy a first year with all that new technology. So put it at 5 years from now or the year 2010. That's a long way from now, but gives me a chance to save up.

Psst, Honda keep us posted if you want to keep us on the hook that long.


EDIT: make it a targa like the Carrera GT with a CF roof and I'm sold.

Yeah, I normally find these things silly. . . but what the hey. . .

V10 @450-500hp - probably 10K redline
Aluminum, CF and other composites galore
Ungodly fast paddle shifting - probably a new system
crappy leather seats
North of $100K price tag.

sorry you find it pointless.. ok I really dont care what you think, honestly. Oh and other threads are NOT pointless??

well If it is a 3.5 liter and it makes 500HP that is 142 HP per Liter
that beats the s2000 by 22, so i dont think it will be all that hard to beat.

My guess is:

1. It will cost significantly more than the C6 Z06.
2. It will perform about on par with the current standard C6.
