Dude... you realize the NSX is a specialty car, and it's street version never turned a profit, right?

The original reason for producing that car for street use was because of the rules of the races Honda was interested in, and to show competition with European Supercar markets.

Oddly enough, the engine from the 1st gen NSX is available in the Accord. I'm not sure where the Gen2 NSX engine comes from.
