speaking of NSX's, has anyone heard the rumour about how from 2002-2005, honda had been tweeking their C32B and pushing more WHP each year, yet still claiming the base 290hp
Yup, a 3.2L V6 shouldn't make only 290hp... the original 3.0L V6 in the older model already make around 270 or 280 or 286hp however various source puts them. It dosnt make any sense when they update an engine and it still make identical figures. A particular 2002+ NA2 Type R engine was dyno by Procar Germany with around 338hp. I wouldn't hesitate to put the Type R at around 340hp. Think of it this way, BMW made 360hp out of a 3.2L Inline 6 in the M3 CSL, it only make sense that Honda can do the same out of a 3.2L V6. Lastly, look at the time for NSX-R. They run around 12.6 - 12.8 quarter mile, calculate the weight and various other factor and you can probably figure out the HP being put out. Keep in mind the Type R Engine is full balanced and blueprinted to about 10x the component accuracy.

If someone can calculate it:
Weight: 2800lb
Quarter Mile: 12.7s
Trap Speed: 190km/118mph

I used a simple internet calculator and it gave me 339hp
