yeah, it's traction issues when you have that much hp.
Does the NSX really only have 290 or so hp? I had heard that it really has more than that but due to some tradition in Japan they only rate it at that number for some such reason or another... otherwise, that engine gets close if it has upwards of 320 hp...
U.S. Spec, Honda Civic Si, Del Sol Vtec (Both Share the B16a) Integra GS-R, Integra Type R, RSX Type S, S2000, Toyota Celica GT-S... There are alot of 4 cylinder 100+hp/litre cars out there. Don't knock them just because they say Honda or some other "economic" name on them. They have big influences in many professional motorsports. They are also good road cars for a specific target market.
I don't think people knock them because of their namesake, but because of their "peakyness"Originally posted by ImageDynamicsM3

Don't forget about my Vibe. It makes a rated 100hp/ltr exactly. Of course, it's the exact same motor as in the Celica GT-S. The majority of the power is up top, but it'll actually cruise around town under 3000rpm just fine. I just can't pull out in front of a semi and expect to get away at low rpm.
