By today's standards, the V6 290hp powerplant lacks the power of the supercars. (Earlier versions had around 250hp).
But the all aluminum chasis is supposed to be very responsive and light. And the looks - well, you just won't mistake the NSX for another car out there!
If power isn't a concern for you, the NSX is a wonderful choice for a near exotic supercar.
Geez, I sound like the folks at Road & Track!
