Yes they incorporate these items into Ferraris and Lamborghinis but this car is neither nor can it honestly compete with these cars in a heads up situation when talking stock for stock. The NSX loses money and why they still produce them is beyond any commercial common sense, but I think it may have to do with their status as an F1 racing competitor at this point.
How does a NSX appeal to a different market class. Little Billy in his Civic won't be able to afford a NSX considering brand new it costs $90k or so. It appeals to the middle aged guy rather than the college kid same as the other exotics do. Sure its one of the worst commercial schemes but its still a very wantable car. This thread isn't an argument about the NSX, its a question about the possibility of launch control being in the new NSX considering its being termed as the Honda Super Car.
