The latest for the auto show, Acura has announced a high out put version of the NSX. They have developed a street use motor based off their Formula one racing program. It is all aluminum 6.4L V12 that puts out 585 HP with 4 valves per cylinder and titanium connecting rods. The compression ratio is only 9.1 so there is plenty of room for more HP with some mods unlike the Corvette that has a CR of over 11. The chassis is all aluminum and magnesium coming in at 3053lbs. They say that the MSRP will be $58K. They are going to produce 20,000 units/year so these things will be everywhere just like the Corvettes. Anyone who owns a Viper is going to stand out like a sore thumb. Everyone will notice you, its going to be terrible. I ran some errands in the SRT today and I could tell people were looking at me, they know the car is not fast any more. I feel embarrassed driving around town so, I think on Monday I am going to put the SRT up for sale before the price drops to the level of a Corvette. I suggest that everyone do the same.
I don’t know what I am going to do now, I am so depressed. Why isn’t DC doing anything about this? They owe us to not allow other car manufactures to build high performance cars. I have started a new forum at

I am hopefully that we can start a meaningful exchange of ideas and learn how we can best express our frustration. A forum dedicated to complaining about things we don’t like about the SRT and worry about what every other car manufacture does. Share techniques about how to keep ourselves miserable. Learn how that exhilarating ride in the SRT is nothing but a feeling that can be erased and replaced with feelings of inadequacy. I realize that these cars are not on the street yet but what difference does that make, just the hint of competition is more than enough reason to whine and take shots at that poorly designed heap in the garage.
