Not really, those are peak numbers. The NSX is a different body, it will never perform as well as a NSX, but it's its baby brother!

 

Yeah, 3.0L numbers are highly probable.. 1/4mile around 13.6 @ 105mph..???

 

actually for the most part, the existing 00-03 s2ks can give an nsx a run for its money. 3.0 vs 2.0, stock for stock.

I'm not talking about just in a straight line either.


IMO of course.

 

You gotta remember that the NSX engines were underrated too - by about 15-20 hp on the 3.2 liter motors. No way an 04 S2K is getting into the 12's near 110 mph (as some stock 3.2 NSX's have).

The 3.2 litres are a beast, I wouldn't see it happening. I've run against an automatic 3.0 litre NSX and won, but even that was an extremely close race.

 

The NSX web site has dyno numbers on the earlier NSX's in the 230-240 range.

 

Two cars does not make it a reality. We have seen different pre 04's dyno 10-20hp from one another on a given day. Regardless, I'll wait until someone with a real dyno does a comparison.

Many of the same points covered in the above.

My thinking about "underrated":

1) It is not about insurance (
2) If the #'s are true, then 266/2.2 = 120.9/liter, so much for that whining.
3) If true, where are the perf numbers benefits in the preliminary mag tests?- they do not seem to show the benefits - are the engines too green, or have they not done true instrumentation tests?
4) Dynos can vary car to car, test conditions to test conditions, dyno to dyno
5) Ron Bauer and Banannie have real-world comments that performance is up - period. Even with less than optimum tires and alignment settings - hard to argue about that.
6) The NSX posts high 13's, 5.0 to 60 (at least my 1995 NSX-T did with the 3.0 engine - not sure about later 3.2l cars, but where has an S2K come close to that without FI?
7) What does the NSX's body have to do with acceleration numbers? In handling, the S2K and the nsx are close - I Owned an NSX, and am close to owning an S2K, but have lots of seat time in several 01-02's.

 

Now now, be magnanimous A_L - Secret has made some points of merit, although not the most benevolent in tone.

The "truth" about the MY04 is coming out, and most of the gloom and doom is being exposed for what is was - sour grapes and resistance to change. That is a two-sided coin - example? I will be replacing the RE050's at 3 years, worn or not, with a dry-optimized pair od shoes like Kumho Extsa's, or Michelin Pilots, etc. Or Pirellia PZero Rosso Asimmetrico's.
