I've always liked the NSX, and I am very glad that Honda finally came out with the newest version of the car. I agree that it looks great, and deserves to be recognized as a supercar. But you really are stretching the definition to call it the best American-built supercar. First off, even though the Ford GT is built in Ontario Canada, it was fully designed in America, and has an American drivetrain. Further, the NSX is clearly a Japanese car. Being conceived and designed in Japan by it's Japanese maker, Honda/Acura. Like so many of your articles, the title is of course a pointed affront to the upcoming Tesla Model S Plaid, and later Plaid+ and Roadster. The Plaid Model S promises to be the quickest production car sold in the world, and that includes multi-million dollar hypercars, only to be beaten later by the Model S Plaid+ and finally the Roadster. The NSX looks better, sleeker, and is a closer match in sight, sound, and design focus to traditional supercars. But it doesn't make it American, and doesn't make it quicker. Or even a better Grand Touring car. I am glad that Honda decided to keep the NSX's mid-engine design, because many NSX prototypes looked like they were going to reimagine it as a 2+2 luxury coupe. In a couple years when the 1000HP Zora C8 hybrid Corvette comes out, and the Tesla Roadster hits American roads, it will be impossible to try and compare a Japanese NSX to those American supercars (hypercars?). Until then I'd put the Tesla Model S Plaid as a true American supercar placeholder for the title. Actually being designed, engineered, and built by Tesla, an American automaker.
