I think I've seen your Yellow Nsx before, are you around the West Covina area in SoCal? Didn't you have a different screen name on Lotustalk like YellwNsx or something?

I believe you can in fact partially compare the Nsx with the Lotus. They both have an aluminum chassis. Both mid engine with rear wheel drive. They both run high compression stock internals and they both are able to run a supercharger with 6-9lbs pulley without doing a low compression engine rebuild. Both cars run staggered wheel sizes and well balanced wheel base. Both have removable top option. Both are known for handling and not exactly known for 1/4 mile and horsepower numbers. They both are quite low to the ground as well.

To make fun, I also wanted to point out that they both include a wussy looking spoiler that does give a slight drag.

On the other hand you can take the NSX cross country and you don't have to go to the doctor's office afterward for back pain. They are both reliable but the NSX is better built and stuff don't fall apart as easy as the Lotus.
