This is true

Well the NSX was more of an exotic, Horsepower wasnt its biggest feature ( It was naturally aspirated ) While the GTR was listed as 280hp that was due to a Japanese law for cars in Japan. The Supra in America was 320hp but the GTR in Japan was also known to dyno over 280WHP ( 320hp or more in reality ).
