I have dyno sheets of a stock NSX putting down a measely 215hp to the wheels. The Toyota Supra TT will put down 300rwhp stock, and costs HALF of what the NSX costs. Not to mention, 50 cents on a supra gets you a bleeder T and FFCD for an additional 60rwhp.
Even further, read the magazines, the Supra (which, remember costs half) pulls ~.96 on the lateral g skidpad, versus the NSX which pulls ~.94.
Finally, Adam Sawuwatari's project NSX has had A LOT of money invested into it on Honda's behalf to make an NSX competitive at the drag strip, and has been very unsuccessful. The NSX just is not a good platform for modifications. It's @ optimum level stock. Similarly the S2000 will turn out to be the same way.
Overall, when the NSX was released in 1991, it was a great car, it was great up until about 1996-1997. At that point it need an update. Well, now 2001 models are getting close to production, and the NSX is still a 1991 car. It's a TERRIBLE value, regardless if people still turn their heads. Anyone who thinks it's worth $90k even though a $40k car beats it stock for stock has some screws loose in their head.
I know this isn't E46 M3 related, but someone seemed to think that the NSX is just a god of a car, and I personally think the M3 will be damn close in performance aspects to the NSX. We'll just have to wait and see...
