Just got back from Ledsham, home of Two Mills Honda, with the NSX. Piccies as promised, although apologies for the quality. The sun had gone and it was too gloomy outside to take any decent ones.

I've just added a couple of engine bay photos.
A quick comparison with my old NSX-T and the S2000.
Old NSX was a 3.0l with a 5 speed box. New is 3.2l with a 6 speed. New is much quicker than old car despite being quoted at only about 10% more BHP - it is making a lot more power than the official figure of 276 BHP.
Torque much more linear than the S.
Gearbox - S is much better. You have to be much more deliberate in the NSX.
Ride quality - NSX is softer, more supple.
S is still a great car. I count myself lucky to have owned one for a while. S is a true sports car. NSX is a true GT.
For anyone interested in a chnage you should be able to get a 3 or 4 year old 3.2 with the 6 speed box for around
