Oh ya to the OP, do u really know why the nsx was so great?? It was the end result of 6 F1 championships and the input of a little known man named Ayrton Senna. Old man Honda loved Senna and Senna helped make that nsx so angry.

While Forced Induction may not be needed, every time I walk away from my car and I turn around it keeps whining at me "I need a supercharger daddy, when are you going to give me one"...

And it's just kinda like when one of your kids gives you those puppy dog eyes asking for a candy bar.... You know the wife is gonna get pissed that the kid won't go to sleep, but it's just too hard to say no....

If this car had similar output NOBODY would have the "power" criticism...and if they did they would be banished immediately. I know that engine in an inline configuration would change SOME dynamics of the car but unless the EcoBoost weighs 500lbs it couldn't upset THIS chassis all that much. IMHO
Before I get flamed I'm talking about an engine of a similar configuration and power. I know Toyota/Subaru can't stick a Ford engine in our cars.

IIRC the Ecoboost engine actually weighs quite a bit
