hold on, let me go get my violin...
and honda better pull a better nsx out of its arse real soon, to compete with a new corvette that's lighter, stiffer, more powerful, and better looking than the current one. i'm not even gonna bring up the z06...

My NSX weighs 2,926 lbs. The Chevrolet website lists the Z06 as 3,116 pound?

that's a really good point, but, it seems that honda has sat on its hands with the nsx while gm evolved the corvette into a world class car.
also, how does the nsx compare to a zr1 corvette? they're a lot closer in price than a base c4
