I think the Jackson SC meets CA smog.  Like I said not my fav. car but a
great comfortable car.

	Just as an observation, when I first saw an NSX I thought there
were really cool looking, but  I always thought they were a drive and
maintain sorta car, not something many people could or would modify.  I
assume you're right about supercharging, but here in California, it has
to be pre 75 if you want to do much to the engine.  It is an artificial
criteria, but something we have to live with.
	 
	Oddly, the NSX looks somewhat dated to me now (a subjective
thing) but many Panteras do not.  I really can't say why.

		An NSX forum discussion about lack of torque ultimately
spiraled into
		stuffing an American V8 into the back of the car. 
		I respectfully suggested that it had been
done...Pantera!
