A big problem in doing this is that the NSX engine is setup like a front-wheel drive powertrain since the driven wheels are right by the engine. That would cause a big problem with the way our powertrain is laid out and would require a different transmission than the NSX one.

OMG.. you guys are terrible. He was just asking from a hypothetical point of view. Not saying he was going to.. or wanted to... just wondering if it could mechanically be done. A simple "nope, i don't think so." would have answered it fine.

seems like a legitimate question to me. everyone knows honda engine swaps aren't uncommon. it's natural for someone to want more power without all the forced induction or some other mods. there's no replacement for displacement remember? although i agree that a v6 will mess with handling characteristics. still dreaming about an s2k with a TL type R engine from the factory.

He could have used the search feature and gotten an answer to his question immediately. This is not the first time it has been asked.
