I missed this post earlier. Your car knowledge shines through again. An NSX is far from powerful. A Mustang GT is faster than an NSX (straight line... yes I know the NSX would hand a mustang its ass on a track).
For the record, I don't like the new mustang. I think I'm one of the few people out there that doesn't. The styling is a turn off, and I'd rather a small turbo or supercharged car (which is why I got a car with a 2.0L supercharged engine). I don't like paying for gas enough to drive a V8. Plus the most appealing aspect of vehicles for me is the handling, not the straight line performance. I'm not even an American car fan, although I drive one because my requirements for this car was cheap performance. You pay for performance when you go Japanese/European. Yes I know my car will fall apart faster, thats why it was cheaper. The only American car I would consider buying in the future would be a vette, or maybe a 300C. All of the others on my wishlist are Jap/Euro. People need to wake up to the fact that just because their car was expensive doesn't mean its an amazing performer.
