Your NSX was designed to compete with Ferrari's, I don't think MB even made a car that could compete with the NSX. Maybe the SL600 in a straight line. What did those things cost new $100kish.

Back in oh the late 80's MB had V8's that four overhead cams, four valves per cylinder, and variable valve timing. Look up the M119 V8. You can pick them up real cheap now.

Granted the V6 in the Honda is a great engine, try comparing the specs to the M119. The MB has the Honda for hp, stock at least.

You can't make general statements like that based on the one C class you own.
