Yeah... but it's not JDM.
Besides the Type R and Type S-Zero versions, whats the difference between a JDM NSX and USDM NSX (performance-wise)

just stiffer suspension and its a bit lighter. Light weight rims and such. Motors are all the same including the USDM one. I leanred my lesson last time.

**** i have to read more. Standards are the same i believe. But the R and S are lighter

Actually, you could legally bring in an NSX in pieces, have it rebuilt here, have it inspected as a 'kit car', pass smog (it will), register it. The only issue is that it would be illegal to resell the car, so you're stuck with it.

This has been done with a number of R33 Skylines that I know exist in the US.

"Buy three NSX',you'll need to crash test the other two "

Aww man, don't even say that! What a thought... brand-new NSX w/all aluminum body being crash tested...

I think I'd throw myself in front of the car in a futile but hopeless effort to stop it. Then I'd make love to the dummy.

If u want a Type-S Zero variation just get an Alex Zanardi edition of the NSX..i heard they are basically the same. And by saving the importing expenses, u can buy JDM tidbits like steering wheel, wheels, seats, etc
