This is a great, very-well-attended event. I believe when McLaren brought the 570 is was the "North American Debut" of that vehicle. Steve has been an extremely reliable member of the event's fantastic organizing team...and a long-time NSX owner and nice guy. Please help him out.

Hence top speed is only 191MPH. I get it, and think probably it is worth the trade off for great performance under 124MPH (and probably still nice between 124 and 191, just not 650hp-nice).

and I posted this reply... I think you are incorrect in assuming that all three motors will be asked to output at 100% at the same time the engine is at it's peak output. You won't ever peak at 619...but you'll get a lot of torque all over the place. The motors are doing torque fill, helping...

Value: 12C Best: 650S Reliability: 2017 NSX Do you see a scenario where 570S is the answer?

I've seen people all up in arms over the overhang seen here. Clearly there is distortion at the edges of this picture. Look at how the front wheels are out of round. Could be normal barrel distortion (like your photos with people's heads stretched) or some post-processing with something like...

Agreed. Also, criticisms seem similar to those tossed at the original NSX. Not enough character/passion/charisma. It's too good at being fast and linear/progressive, non-scary, not harsh/noisy, comfortable, etc at the same time. Sounds great!!! Just listen to the guys in this video. Amazing car...

After seeing those Porsche interiors, I withdraw the minor criticisms I have for the NSX interior. Some see "heritage." I think, "Really, they're still turning out crap interiors?" NSX and McLaren have comparatively amazing interior designs.

This. Or it could be a third time.

It's fun to yell, "nice Corvette" at other NSX drivers.

Like Honcho mentions I will open the rear hatch between sessions at track...but I don't worry about it in context of regular driving. Don't think the heat is a big deal, but you generate a lot more on the track without a lot of opportunity for it to dissipate. I just replaced the 23 hoses on...

My conclusion also. I've only driven the 650S (not 12C or 570S). If I were considering spending that kind of money on a car, I'd want the fancy/magic hydraulic suspension. 570S is too much $$ to not have it (but it's one of the ways 650 differentiates itself, so I get the business decision to...

Springs and shims come separate as 11 of the LMAs in the picture below are shown. Once shim is shoved into LMA spring (12th in picture below) it is pretty firmly there. You missing the shims or are they already inserted...

I totally read your initial comment in the wrong context. Didn't thoroughly read comment above you. Instead, skimming I saw people complaining about NSXv2's lack of power then you saying "not a crap engine." D'oh! While the 1991-1999 LMAs are of a piston design and oil gets in them to lubricate...

Which NSX are you talking about? NA1/NA2 (C30A/C32B) have nothing hydraulic about their valvetrain (except for how vtech rocker engages the adjacent rockers, which is not what we are talking about) and you seem to be saying new NSX engine is sweet because it has solid lifters. When cars have...

^ This - - - Updated - - - Moving to pushrod or cams directly over the valves, instead of offset cams with rocker/follower-sytle lifters like old NSX? Solid as in not hydraulic or solid as in not hydraulic and not roller? Source?

NSXs that will appear during the Monterey Car Week - will they be these two or other examples?

Since people bring up tax savings, I wonder how well the NSX will/won't align with Federal and State tax rebates. This table shows other vehicles in my state. Not that I'm big on people subsidizing other people's cars...but they do influence purchasing patterns around here nonetheless. - - -...

Given this is Acura I expect most features to be bundled into a couple packages (Tech, Sport, whatever) and to not break the bank (relative Mclaren, Ferrari, Porsche), then the bulk of options to be around personalization (paint color, various interior colors, wheel colors, etc).

Teaser video from Acura... http://youtu.be/kLAGE3zJHmk

Right, they delivered what they technically promised. Pictures show gopro cameras mounted to the roof, driver side mirror, and rear of car - so hopefully there is more video to come. The PR guy driving the thing was interviewed the day before by TFLcar and agreed to let them mount a camera for...

McLaren has 17 service centers in the US. An owner in Colorado who wants to get warranty service or use official service center needs to send the car to Scottsdale AZ, SoCal, NoCal, or Chicago (the first three about equidistant from here, Chicago farther but a straight-shot down I-80). Even if...

I've driven the 650S. Amazing car, but very $$$. 570S looks much worse than 650S or 12C IMO and doesn't have the special suspension. If I were in the market to spend that kind of dough, the competition would be between new NSX and used 12C...which will probably be same price by the time the NSX...

Acura person at Denver auto show (likely doesn't know any more than us and was speculating) said there would essentially be two versions available. Base (at $155k) and a reasonably-priced package that would include all the safety tech (lane-keep assist, collision mitigation braking, adaptive...
