Default Help Settle a Debate

My friend has a 91 Acura Legend which he claims has an NSX engine, and I am certain it is not though he does not believe me. Will you guys with more Honda/Acura knowledge than I settle this debate for us.

The engine:


As a sidenote....he wants to race my SRT8 Magnum for $100...will this give me a good race?

They have the same engine... ish.

The 1991-95 Legend has a C32A, which is a SOHC makes between 200-230HP, depending on year.

The NSX has the C30A or C32B, depending on year & transmission. The C30A makes about 270HP, and the C32B makes 290HP.

Your best bet is to get the engine code & look it up.

Seeing as how the VC says 3.2, it could either be the C32A (which was factory for that Legend), or the C32B, which came on the NSX as a performance tuned C32A.

If it's actually the C32A & he's tryingto play it up, he's got about 15.29 lbs/HP. Your Magnum SRT8 has about 10.02 lbs/HP.

Depending on the race type, transmissions, and driver skill, you've probably got him by a good bit.
