1991 Acura NSX 5.8 14.4
1992 Acura NSX 5.6 13.9
1993 Acura NSX 5.6 13.9
1994 Acura NSX 5.3 13.6
1996 Acura NSX 5.2 13.8
1996 Acura NSX-T 5.8 14.3
1997 Acura NSX-T 4.8 13.3
2001 Acura NSX V6 4.5 12.9 (C&D TV 2001)
2002 Acura NSX 4.8 13.4

A quick search shows about a .92 average on the skid pad. Curb weights average around 3000lbs so it would be lighter for sure.
I would think that the 2000 - last production models would likely be "close" to outperforming a Z, I suppose. They're pretty hardy cars from what I hear, and the way they're set up, a harder to find mid engined layout, changes the car's feel. I suppose if someone were to run a stock 370Z versus a stock (well, mostly, NSX's are older) 2001-02 NSX might end up with some close numbers. It would be great, but an NSX is an beautiful car, one of my dream cars that's actually affordable (definitely more so than a Ferrari F430, lol).
Sure as hell our Z has a much smaller turning radius thanks to the tiny wheelbase, though lol
