Not IMO.
Corvette 'scooped' the NSX long ago.

The new NSX looks badass it's going to be barn burner 0-60 and 1/4mile

Many were worried about the GTR, and that has turned out be be huge sales disappointment for Nissan. The NSX will sell a few thousand the first year, and diminish after that.

The first I had seen it was last nights commercials. That thing has awesome lines. Wonder what kind of price tag it will have on it. After all Leno and Sinfield fighting over it, and they both make millions and millions more than I do.

I am a Vette person but, come on now, a Honda engine was in every single car in the Indy 500 last year. Ayrton Senna. Alain Prost. They are capable of making a pretty fast car.

Yes, but can YOU buy one? Even if you had the money?
