Yeah. People on the forum where i found this wer bashing it, but I don't think they get it. This guy races and I'd rather make my car lighter than make more hp. You know lowering the weight isn't going to kill your car, unless you crash maybe, but modding an engine can cause alot more problems. I'm a hooge fan of the hp/weight ratio. Sure 1000hp+ would be awesome, but not if it's in a 4500lb. car. I'd rather have a 2000lb. car with 250hp.

ya i like the whole lightweight over power bit. it's better to have a lighter car. you can make use of less hp rather than having a heavy car with 1000+hp. i mean ya it might be bad if he crashes but i mean lightweight is better. it's also a LOT better to have a lighter car for racing allows for better capabilities. i think wha the did was better than going insane on the engine.

Can you go insane on an NSX engine? Aren't there serious space restrictions? I'm sure with some body modding you can make some more room, but dayum. What's the highest hp you've seen from an NSX? NSX is the overlooked supercar(Just my opinion I guess).

I remember seeing about 500 from one once... dont remember where, but yea, i agree, they are definately the overlooked supercar. The Ferrari's, Lambroghini's and Lotus's were/are much flashier, and now all have lots more power since Honda stuck to the 287 hp japanese agreement. Hopefully they will see that to compete today, especially with the release of the 400+ hp skyline GTR in ~2007, that 287 hp just isnt cutting it anymore. But still, all carbon fiber... ooooohhhh. For the money, you dont just go faster, but accelerate faster, corner better, stop faster, have less wear and strain on the parts, and go thru tires less quickly. If the money's there, its worth it IMO

One common misconception is that a lightweight vehichle fares worse in a crash then a heavy vehichle. Though this may be true depending on how the vehichle was made. It has less to do with the actualy weight of it. remember Force equals Mass Times Acceleration, or F=MA the more or Add more mass and you add more force. More force equals bad accident.

Also in a wreck, i rather have CF surrounding me then fiberglass. I heard CF is stronger, but i may be mistaking.

Also less weight means better braking, better handling and better acceleration. Ultimately you want less weight and more power.

every thing but the roof and the space fram will unbolt from a NSX. Peice of cake to fix if you dont tweek the frame. All the pannles are aluminum and damn thin at that so the cerbon would probobly be stronger. I have seen 800 HP NSX's and they are still runnin N/A. the hotest one I saw had ITB's and a full titainium exaust. Sounded like a F1 car when it went by.

CF is the same strength as steel but 10% of the weight - if he tapped something like a shopping cart it would only put some scratches in the epoxy, not destroy a panel.

If he got in a crash or something, he could most likely go back to the shop and have them mold him another piece. CF itself isn't that expensive, but structural pieces need to be cured in a special pressure-controlled oven that costs like $100,000 for a cheap one...
