Drove an NSX
 
'98 with the t-tops -- customer car. It's like riding on rails and has precise shifting. No sloppy steering, stopping or shifting on that biatch.

Must be nice being a parking valet.

It is a Honda after all. ;) The 98' has the fixed lights not the pop up ones right?

Hey, Harvey Keitel drove one in "Pulp Fiction". Hard to find a more resounding endorsement. I think Road and Track did an owner's survey a few years ago, and found them to be pretty bulletproof, but with a healthy appetite for the factory rear rubber.

Pop up. There was an impending storm, so was dark. Had to mess with the lights. :)

He was Winston "The Wolf"...

Yeah, that car was solid. Pretty quick too, no S600 mind you. :rolleyes:

Hah but the NSX must be the longest running model sports car ever. It's had very few changes since... since when? 1987?

I dunno. Seemed a little old fashioned, no massage seats.

He also built Checkers in 'Blue Collar'. Which one to choose?

1991 was the first year

Driven one too. Fun, but not all that fast.


There is indeed a weak point on the earlier ones, before the ironed out the trannie troubles. The second gear was a bit notchy, and went out on quite a few of the early models. Problem covered by Acura on a family friends 1993.

The Porsche 928 ran on the same chassis from 1978 - 1996.

The NSX is slow compared to most modern sports cars or even GT's. You need a turbo kit to make it fast.

I guess a $30k car with $20k of mods for a 850rwhp car isn't bad. I wonder what the numbers are with that much power through two wheels.

One of the sweetest and most friendly usable sports car ever made, a fitting tribute to Ayrton Senna and Sochiro Honda.
