JC can drive a car with power.
JC cannot drive a car round a race track.
Do a search on the tube for NSX and watch the video of Senna at Suzuka

Get one, own a peice of history.
It WILL become a classic. Give it 5-10 years.
Have you watched any of the Throttle Bodied V6 ones from Japan? Only around 300-350bhp, but they sound like an older F1 car.
This thread prompted me to have a look last night. I swear a little wee came out when the speakers were turned up

If we do get one it will be like the 911... not played with at all, just kept nice and clean/standard'ish
The GTR is enough of a money pit and will hopefully be plenty fast enough

Never mind the performance hike.
Its the noise. Dribble. Especially going through Wagama Tunnel.
You can do proper mods. Under tray, lightweight rims, bigger brakes, better suspension.
On some of the videos, theres the NSX on a single throttle bodie chasing down a syline. Skyline leaves it down the straights and power sections, NSX is litterally all over it round the bends, sometimes having to go round the outside, and STILL gets in front. And the skyline is a track setup car as well.
Awesome, I love NSX's, just gutted by the outright go go go.

So can I...
I can see a rival video of him going round the outside of Fee of the last hairpin at Knockhill, then Fee blasting back past on the straight, and Adam catching up again till the hairpin.
Dooo ittt doooooo ittttttt dooooo itttttt.
Keep it, it'll be worth some in a few years. Esp if you get a newer model with the popup lights. Or go REALLY hornimental and get a Type R imported in from Jap land?
*wishes he could actually spend other peoples money like this*

white NSX-R? dribble dribble spunk spunk schlop squirt squirt
Adam youve had the AWD point and squirt flat four boost monster car.
youve had the straightline muscle of the skyline.
youve had the pocket rocket 205 track car and the XE corsas.
This is something completely different, a wickedly balanced high revving N/A racing car out of the box.
go buy it, im off to wank to some more NSX videos.

I thought Hondas were shite according to you lot on here?
Anyway the NSX is one of those rare cars that can look beautiful and mean as fook at the same time, when you see one in the flesh you can't believe how low and wide they are, such road presence. Much rather have one than any Porsche.

Generalisation by a few who like to air it.
Some of the drivers do Hondas no justice, but the same can be said for many corsa drivers....
Hondas are good cars, have good engines (reliable too).

haha... no way on earth i can afford a TypeR  gen 1 or 2!
The early NSX's have pop ups, not latest.
Lastest Pup up models had 3.2 300bhp engines (from 97/98 i think)
I think i want either...
A 96 UK car. Black, Manual coupe with dark interior...
OR newer JDM version 3.2.
Problem is they are very saught after in Japan so its hard to get a baragin like when importing an Evo/Imprea etc.
Jap versions have shorter gearing... 96 UK versions have a shorter 2nd gear (72mph or so instead of near 90  )
They do look bloody mental in the flesh... soo wide and FAAAt...
