That would certainly help...but I've only seen 1 NSX equipped with the Comptech blower and it was running around 400hp. Now that's not by any means bad, but I can go out and buy an '03 Cobra for just over $30K which puts out over 400hp (factory rated at 390hp but have routinely put down 380+ at the wheels) and throw $10K-$15K into the suspension and make it handle just as well or better for just about half the price. The only thing I can think of that's a worse bang-for-the-buck deal is the Shelby Series 1. Now...I know Shelby's better than this...sticking a 300hp Oldsmobile V8 into an AC Cobra wannabe body and charging around $100K for it. Throw in the blower option and you're looking well north of $100K for a car that handles at best lukewarm. But the NSX needs some serious power upgrades if Honda/Acura really want it to be a "supercar".
