drove to work today, dry roads, sun was shining and the NSX was a delight. I spent all Sunday in the 993 Turbo and thoroughly enjoyed it, mainly the 430 horses, but getting back into the NSX is always a pleasure. The short shift gearbox is such a delight to use and the way it handles speed bumps is amazing, it really is 'the useable supercar'

from Gordon Murray: The NSX’s development costs must have been enormous. Everything on it is unique. The chassis, powertrain, even the air conditioning are peerless. That aluminum body was very expensive. The numerous hurdles overcome by the NSX to reach production in areas such as spot welding, corrosion, and repairability make it a monumental work in automotive history.

Being a fan of Honda engines, I later went to Honda's Tochigi Research Center on two occasions and requested that they consider building for the McLaren F1 a 4.5 liter V10 or V12. I asked, I tried to persuade them, but in the end could not convince them to do it, and the McLaren F1 ended up equipped with a BMW engine.
