How big a part did Senna actually play in the development? I thought that he drove it for a couple of laps and told Honda that the chassis wasn't stiff enough...

Not trying to be contentious - please enlighten me!
He requested the handling be neutral

The car was never marketed well?

911 goes GT racing and dominate the GT3 class at Lemans. The GTR made a big song and dance about being quicker then 911 turbo around the ring. Ferrari is ever present in F1, Audi dominate LeMans etc etc etc

Where was Honda's marketing, apart from the odd Lemans entry??
How much effort did Honda cash in Senna?
