I'd love to drive an NSX - Peter Lupton test drove the NSX Avonvale used to have in the showroom and he was impressed. In pure performance terms, the NSX shows its age (if you live by 'ring times):

The 3.0 NSX is quicker than the 3.2?

There is no way a Golf R32 is quicker than an NSX around the ring... something doesn't ring true about some of those times (no pun intended!)

What about this vid of an NSX Type-R doing a 7:56?

Egixe S

I remember a video where Gan San was in the prototype S2000 and saying it was as quick as the NSX in a lot of places. One of my fav videos as it really does make you realise what an amazing job Honda did.
