Is it just me (again ;) ) or does the newly announced Saleen S5S Raptor have more than a few NSX cues in the styling??
See pics below and go to the very end of the cheesy Saleen presentation to see the whole car... http://www.saleen.com/press/default.asp

The front resembles the JGTC NSX's and the rear has similar full width lights and integrated spoiler. Possibly a bit too Gallardo as is, particularly from the side profile, but a little more glass in the c pillars/engine cover and a longer rear overhang would do the trick :)

Couldn't agree more, if only Honda had the same ideas :(
Saw this last week on the Top Gear emails and thought about posting, but with all the GTR posts I thought I'd best not risk another imflamatory NSX war :)

Very NSX versus HSC :)

(Why oh why oh why did Honda not make the HSC)

Yep, agreement from this corner too. I always thought that the Saleen S7 has a bit of the NSX on steroids look about it too, very similar to the veilside NSX kit ( Yes I know I bring THAT topic up at least once a year!!)
