2003 Acura NSX specifications

Remember one thing about this car.I love muscle cars too, but the NSX will easily outhandle any American car. Total work of art, and if you care about more than just the quarter mile, its definitely worth the price. The NSX is truly a sports car. It has performance and style. Ever since it was introduced in 1990 I fell in love with this car. Many consider the NSX to be the Japanese Ferrari, but I say the Ferrari is the Italian NSX. I agree that it is a bit overpriced, but think of its good aspects, not styling or horsepower, think of its top speed: 175, that isnt bad for a V-6, not to mention its Naturally Aspirated, very light as well as aerodynamic. I have seen this car in person twice, and it looks much better in real life than it does in photos, and compared to a lot of V-8s this car is incredible, in fact, the top speed is near the Ferrari 360 Spiders. I dont know why you guys dont like this car so much, but its way better if you think about the good points.


2002 Acura NSX: 1st noticeable changes to appearance. Out was the fixed-roof model, leaving only the NSX-T with lift-off roof panel. New Xenon headlamps, larger exhaust ports, wider rear tires, revised suspension and a 4-speed automatic transmission with manual-shift feature. No changes to 2003 Acura NSX 3.2, 2004 Acura NSX: Keyless entry and a trunk-mounted CD changer were added.
