Just so you know, in order for Honda to run that "absurd" intake duct on their race cars, they have to have it in production on the production model. It's the rules of the racing series.

You'd hope that it would be car enthusiasts, but in the real world, it's number crunchers with degrees in business and finance. I bet most of them can't even drive a manual transmission car...

I look forward t seeing these on the streets of Japan. As far as the snorkle intake goes, it's a little much, but hey F1 cars have it!

Hey ricernoob, where did you get this info? Are u sure its correct? this cant be just an R with some cf on it, and 1/2 mil price tag. Something is not right here. 280hp for $500k... Thats almost $2K per hp. If my car were $2K per hp it would have around 7.5hp, not that Im saying i drive anything comparable to the eNeSeX

I thought you were talking about the tuner Konig who builds twin turbo F50's and ...

yea, actually when i was looking at this info at another forum it didn't quite make sense.

so yea i got it off another forum, not a automotive news/spec site. jspek.com are the forums.

like Fred said, JGTC regulation requires the "Intake Garnish" to be an option on stock cars so they can run them in the GT500 class.

that is just a NSX-R with the option.

You're thinking of "Dr. Yes, and his mad ferraris".

Northwood Turbo Systems.

Norwood, not Northwood.

I indeed was referring to Koenig, not Norwood.
