I read that the new NSX is back "on" again. Now that Nissan had the balls to kick the hp above 276 in a VERY official way, that the others are coming in now. I just find it too bad that Japanese design; which started coming into it's own in the mid 90's... is starting to look very Korean/Malaysian.

That is were i wanted to get, supercars were and still are a bit too much of show, but unfortunately, no go. What does it matter if your supercar has loads of CF, spacial material, 1000hp, waiting list....and at the end of it, is eaten by a 90's car on a trackday. What it really matters is how every little thing is put together at the end, thats were experience overcomes money. And that is why i like and defend the GTR, they put it together nicely, didn't called it supervelocerapidfasterR35 just to call attention, didn't make you pay billions for a fast ride, they were just fair....they build a sports car, that is good, and can be sold in
todays market. They can build a 600hp 1200kg, manual transmission beast, but nobody but us would love and understand it.
Like Bob Dylan said: " The time they are a-changing".........and that's why im not excited about the new NSX, it will try to be a supercar, whit strange shapes, big lights and technology. Just like a geek trying to be popular....
And if you gave me a R35, i would sell and buy a R33.
