well if they make the replacment front-engined and AWD, then at least when I buy myself a used NSX, it's still going to be unique!

7:26.4 for the ZR-1, I wonder who will be the first one to say, "hey don't forget about the GT-R V-spec!" or something like that...haha

GTR Vspec did it in 7:25...BTW...that laptime for the ZR1 came from their own engineer..i would like to see a non-biased observer.

Why post this in an NSX thread anyways ?

Should have been posted in the Vette thread (someone already beat you too it).

whatever happened to just having regular quad exhausts? Why must all these new cars coming out have stacked ones? (Even the Ferrari California has stacked exhausts)

Chunky. Choppy. Disorganized.

And they should the shoot the guy that came up with that corporate overbite, buck-toothed grille.

It just looks like a normal car.

Who'd thought Acura would do somthing boring......

The 1st gen NSX STILL looks like nothing else on the road. Case and Point.

I like the drawings. They need a better artist though. So I'll wait for the official drawings from Honda.

love the overall shape of the car...kinda aston martinish

side looks good

front needs a lil work...that big mouth in the front needs to be smaller..headlgihts can be a lil bigger

rear has too many creases around the license plate area...those need to be smoothed out...not liking the tailights much.....the middle part of the tailight light can go...stack exhaust FTL

excuse the crappy shop..did it on paint on my laptop

not gonna lie...i think i like this cars look

Just to inform, these pictures that were on the last page were taken down by TOV due to brenda priddy and her team complaining it would take a cut out of her busniess, this is the only set left on the web....

I have saved a copy
