Does the GT-500 class have any sort of homologation rules? If so, the car would have to go into at least a limited production run.

It does, but Super GT already made an exemption for Honda after Honda applied for a special permission for the HSV-10 GT to enter the series without any production plan.
Any idea if Honda is a major series sponsor, or financial backer of some sort? |

Taken from another website:
Honda has managed to side-step the Super GT rules that require the use of a car based on a production vehicle by presenting the drawings and specs of the car to JAF (Japan Automobile Federation), which sanctions the GT Series. The rules permit cars that are production ready, though not necessarily in production, which is why the NSX and Toyota Supra are still a part of the championship. |

god. this car has been killed, brought back, killed, and now set up for racing. The clowns at Honda need to get their **** together

I dont understand how any of you can look at that picture and say, "Ohhh....ahhhh....so pretty."
The nonexistent, never gonna happen, not even in this ballpark production model would look very different. |
At least Honda put it use rather than completely cancel the project after they spent all the money on it. Maybe they might put it to use later real later in the future.

Its lame, it is not even using the V-10 powerplant in the NSX mule is people forgot and its simply a loophole. http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/d...op-unicorn.jpg |
you suggest they should destroy everything they developed and waste all the time they spent?

Yeah its great its going to race under a loophole and it also is a slap in the face to loyal Honda fans who were saying how the next NSX was going to be the next big thing and it was canned and instead we get this. :egads: |
They might not use the engine but they're using the body/frame of the car.
Now that they have a v8, maybe they'll put into production later in the future. Even though there are news that they won't. Everyone criticize for not having v8 or selling v8 engine. Now that they have one develop for racing, maybe they'll make it into production. |

You are correct. I believe Honda was going to introduce Acura into the Japanese market but that never happened...

It sounds awesome:
http://www.honda.co.jp/SuperGT/ I lol'ed when I read this on NSX Prime: I feel like I went to the strip club and saw the most exotic dancer I have ever seen. But when I asked for a lap dance, she said "Sorry, I only dance for JGTC drivers." |
