They always said....

.... the NSX was Japan's answer to Ferrari, but I'm nbot quite sure THIS was quite what they had in mind.

It's an insult to the NSX, not the other way around.

I think if i was going to ferrari a non ferrari.....I wouldnt do it to a classic like an nsx.....id do like the mr2 conversion to ferrari as there are shitloads of them and they are normally girls cars :!: . *looks at doot doot*

doing it to an nsx would kinda be like taking a dump on Soichiro Hondas doorstep..........

Ferrari's are incredible machines. I'm all for Honda, they are pretty good, but at the end of the day Ferrari do make some pretty cool shit.

I have no problems with someone:
a) saying an NSX is deserving of looking like a Ferrari
b) saying a Ferarri is deserving of an NSX chassis and drivetrain

Both incredible machines, both deserve respect, why not blur the lines a little bit and make something cool in the process

I reckon that's pretty cool, although I have to say you can make a better ferrari out of the SW20 MR2. The black roof and door handles kinda give that one away.

All alloy chassis and body, 3.2L V6 VTEC N/A well ahead of its time in almost every way being compared to a hand-made itialian icon, yeah i'm not kidding. Cutting into an NSX = sacrilage. The car will never be the same.

Mass produced sports car vs hand made super car...

Although I guess no Ferrari's got chopped up to make this, so it's okay

if I am not mistaken the NSX was also hand made .... I also wouldn't call a 360 modena not a mass produced sports car ... the Challenge Stradale might not be ... but a normal Modena ... come on

each to their own I say ....
