Seems this insider - http://jalopnik.com/believe-me-i-m-in-the-same-boat-with-you-here-but-it-1749608524 - has annoyed the big wigs at Honda. All to do with those Continental tyres (see early road tests). The guy's postings also have insights into a lot of the still-not-finished details - more underbody ducts, etc. (On the subject of which, this section needs to be renamed "NSX 2017").

Hilarious!

I think the problem with the exhaust studs probably has them more worried than the rubbish tyres.

I'm with Jalopnik...whilst the guy MAY have been guilty of something relating to breach-of-contract, that's civil law not criminal so there's no obligation to share his details...and the words 'public interest' could arguably trump the contract anyway...

Agreed.

However, it again shows up Honda's spectacular ability to mis-manage everything recently and make themselves look like an even bigger bunch of twerps than usual by trying to lean on Jalopnik.

AND I'm not really a great Jalopnik fan, either.
