Porsche dealer here has a 1991 NSX for $28,000! Crazy, the outside still looks pretty cool, but the interior is so dated.

Race rules. There is a limited selection of engines/manufacturers they can select and build from. Honda happened to be one of them, off hand I don't know what the others were and in fact Honda could have been the only one. I believe that rule is opening up for this year.

The link above containing more of its mechanical specs sounds as if it will be cutting edge technology that, while extremely impressive, will be very expensive both to buy and maintain. Sounds like one of those, "If ya gotta ask the price, you can't afford it" deals.

HEY, be careful with that one. Is the Corvette just another Chevrolet? Honda has supplied IRL with v8 engines for how long now...? And how many engine failures do you see at the 500...? Not very damn many, they make solid stuff make no mistake. That's what the old GM did for many years, not take non US mfg's seriously.
I do think the Vette is about a solid an overall car as any on the planet.
forget the seats, that's small stuff and doesn't count.

Great styling IMO. I think Acura took their design cues from Ferrari while Lexus, in designing their supercar, chose to imitate Lamborghini. I much prefer the smooth lines of the new Acura.

The HONDA guy at the NORTH AMERICAN AUTO SHOW in LA said "3 years out,built in Ohio..blah blah....."I guess he really meant to say a year ..
