DO>The NSX is merely the most acclaimed..
Yes it is, and has been for the whole decade.  And why do you think it's
so acclaimed?  Because it's turn signal flasher emits a more satisfying-
sounding click than the Corvette's?    At least part of you would seriously
answer "yes", so in advance, I'll say "guess again".  It's because it's
the best of the best, regardless of numbers.  If you think nationality
has anything to do with it, then another example would be the 300ZX
Turbo, which also had the slowest numbers and was the oldest design, yet
stayed king of Japanese sports cars, after VR-4, after RX-7, after Supra
Turbo.  Nothing could touch it, much less the C4.
The 97 Corvette is just as acclaimed as the NSX anyway.  But a big part
of that hype comes from sympathy, because the old one was so much worse.
Granted, it's a good, true sports car now, but everyone's been praising
it for how much it has improved, even though all it's done is caught up.
The hype is starting to fade already.  I'm sure you got the latest issue
of C&D.  Read that whole 1/4th of a page on how they talk about how much
its handling sucks.
