Oh, and that NSX's motor is a grenade with the pin pulled.

no, that NSX is a carefully planned, fully built monster! Of course, ... now with the nitrous, they want to hit 900HP. 
It is built as a track car, ... so the 600hp numbers are a safe area to be in.

That became their shops purpose in life, was to build bad *** NSX's (yes, track = road course). They built quite a few 500hp+ cars for people around the states, ... people blew them up (or wrecked them), b/c they turned up the boost, or could not handle them on the track (drove them as if they were a "regular" NSX). They branded their cars as being "FX500", which was for 500hp, ... but since have been able to safely tune for more. They have addressed cooling and other issues with a lot of custom work.
