Honda HSC

Post by Nacho »

The concept car was released a while ago...........anyone know when this will be released or if it will be released.

I'm looking to buy a Honda NSX but since the HSC will be the replacement series maybe I will hold out for one of them instead.

Rumor is that they are bringing the NSX back, but one quick question for u Joel, how much do you think this new NSX/HSC is going to be, consider that the old NSX is $200K+ dealer delivery, luxury tax and on rd cost.

Mike we know you love your honda :twisted:

Well like I said I been trying to chase up a 2003 3.2L 6sp MT Targa-top Honda NSX. There's heaps of articles on how to supercharge the engine and it's good for at least 500-600hp ATW.

What I don't get is why RRP in Japan is $127K AUD brand new and when you buy it here it's $256k brand new. It's just ridiculous!

My budget is probably around $100k-$120k coz that's how much I was gonna spend on the other FTO anyway.

If I find a bloody wrecked EVO VIII and can actually read Japanese so I can participate in the auctions then it could be a different story.

If you or anyone can help me find this then we're gonna dance coz I already got the other FTO ready to go for 'Step 1' which is the drivetrain.

Image

I also had this weird idea to possibly enhance the shape of the FTO by retaining it's current shape and curves but widening and modernising the design - similar to what they do to the Commodores every year. By the time I was finished the rebuilt forged engine would have been stronger than a brand new FTO and it literally would have been a 2009 enhanced model FTO. Wouldn't that be an awesome site?! :twisted: Mitsubishi ain't gonna do it so I might as well. :evil:

And don't give me any sh*t about the money coz I really don't care.

heheh u do what ever u like to your FTO, and i still whip your ass with either one of my cars. :twisted:

Anyway, i did consider the NSX before too, check out SOS in the state, they are one of the best for NSX modification. They got supercharge, turbo charge and even a bore out 3.6L VTEC YO!!!!! NSX engine too.

Cool thanks man I will consider it if I do end up getting it. Really hard to find one to the exact spec I want coz I don't want the one with the pop-up lights so I obviously have to go 2003 up.
