The NSX's power to weight ratio is at least 5 lbs/hp with your turbo twin engines. The GT-R's is something like 7 lbs/hp. That doesn't really matter though because your Hondastein would not have all of the differentials and software necessary to accurately deliver the power to the right wheels and the handling would therefore be compromised.

Actually as I went about my day the absurdity of paying this much for a production car hit me.
This NSX for 18K(link 1)
This prelude for 2 (link 2)
OTC superchargers(I already have 2 of these) junked kit parts from salvage(10K)(I also already have one full set of piping, gates, cooler but I'll call it 10 anyway)
5.7 KW worth of solar panels(15K)
2 industrial battery banks(5K)
large inverter(5K)
2001 Honda Insight(6K)(link 3)
16 deep cells(2K)
I'd convert my home to solar, I'd slap .7 kw worth of panels on the insight, I'd combo the front of the prelude with the NSX, I'd install the superchargers(that I already own), I'd file the solar array as a commercial tax credit(sell electricity back to the grid) and save 30% on all the batteries and panels. I'd take whats left initially and after tax credits and convert the insight to EV with solar.
No way you can tell me a GTR is better than that.
