    This is an interesting one. When Chris Harris tested the 02 NSX he said it was like a completely different car to the NA1 NSX in terms of performance - being quicker by around 3 seconds to the ton. Maybe the original road test car was down on power...

    Take a 3.0 add headers, test pipes and a good exhaust and you have no problems there.

    oh dear what have i started re the 3.0 v 3.2 debate. This is the same issue we have on the DC5 forum pre-facelift v facelift. i have never driven or been in an NSX and will be keeping my eye open for a meet in the south next year when i hope aa nice kind memeber on the site will take me for a quick drive.

    My DC5 is slightly modded and makes 247 at the fly.

    I'm surprised you discuss about pre or post facelift DC5s... I take it people are all agreed the DC2 is the best of the lot!?

    I agree...........

    On the DC5's there is as far as I'm aware no performance difference so ??
    Just a looks thing, facelift is ugly

    ........ and we all know the facelift NA2's are down on power due to the emissions.
