Just throwing this out there but I had a copy of the 2005 Sales Training Brochure for the NSX before I passed it along to a fellow member (Kyras). Inside the brochure there was a 4 car comparison detailing the NSX vs. a Corvette, a Ferrari 360, and a Porsche Carrera.

I do believe the NSX really was targeting those lower end high performance cars and to show the world that you could have an exotic that would last as a daily driver.

Just my 2 cents.....
Yes this is true. The problem is most people look at this in the perspective of 2010. Don't forget that Honda designed and produced the NSX in the 1990's and it hasn't even been made for about 5 years now.

u want a 4 cylinder to rev that high sure. just destroke it untill it can rev that high. like at sport bikes. they are 4 cyliners and the 600cc bike rev to about 17k rpm.

f1 rev high because they have very small engine with a super low stroke. they are either v8's or v10's that are only 2.4 litters

Reliability and engineering costs. It can be done, but it won't.

Sport bikes' engines do rev to 14,000rpm. But I'd like to see a sport bike's engine last 200k miles.
My friends CBR has 83k miles on it. drives perfect. and he beats the piss out of it. IE Does wheelys till oil light comes on.

Unfortantely, Nascar motors have a higher piston speed than F1 motors.
