Hmmmm, a wooden engine. Balsa, I presume, to keep the weight down.

These are not crazy fast cars at all. We had Lambo Murcelago in my old car club and the Vettes and Supras were faster than the car. Plus I saw a Gallardo open up getting on the freeway when I was about to get on the freeway and I wasnt impressed. A SC NSX with 450hp and 200 pounds of weight reduction could hold its own with any of these cars IMO. You can get a used 95 NSX for under $50000 and slap on a $8000 SC and tune it and do the weight reduction yourself and there you go. These cars dont impress me anymore. What are the Gallardos power? 460 hp and 380 ft pounds of tq? Now an Enzo, thats a different story..

If I could afford an exotic, I'd sell my NSX in a heartbeat. The NSX (atleast to me) is the closest I'll get to "owning" an exotic. I don't consider it an exotic, but its close. Shit...I'd be happier with a slow diablo vs. a SC NSX.

Yeah I'd much rather have a used NSX with a blower than a real exotic .. Why not just build a turbo Civic for even less -- as the civic is to the NSX what the NSX is to a real exotic ..

A NSX with a blower might be faster, BUT you will get blown faster in an exotic. NO comparison there

Hey slick who said anything about a civic? You want one? I have one for sale if your really THAT interested..
My point is that their speed is not impressive to me. The body style is so 1990s too. If I got one for free I would sell it for sure.
