DeLorean vs. 2001 NSX

[mark@xxxx]

Before I bought my DeLorean I was seriously looking at buying an 
Acura NSX. I know that they are VASTLY different cars, but there are 
some interesting similarities. Being bored on a sunday, I put 
together this spreadsheet. The DeLorean specs should prove quite 
useful to have in one location. If anyone can fill any of the blanks 
in or add any information, e-mail me what you can and I'll put it all 
together and make it available for everyone.
