Nothing can really prepare you for how small the car looks when you first see it in person. Pictures make it look sort of tall and skinny, in reality it sits slightly lower than a stock NSX but is narrower. My wife hadn't seen it in person before I bought it and was shocked by it's size (or...

As some of you know, I traded my beloved NSX for an Elise last fall. I finally picked it up this week. I've logged about 200 miles since. Some impressions for those of you who are interested: 1) It is tiny! ride height is comparable to an NSX lowered slightly. It is about 6 inches shorter...

Actually, this motor has seen service in the NSX, supposedly it is the JGTC GT500 series motor.

I just think it's encouraging to see that they stuck a V-8 in something other than a F1 or IRL car. I LOVE the velocity stacks! Not going to allow myself to get too hyped up though. I think someone needs to shoe-horn that bad-boy into an Accord coupe and convert it to rear-drive!

Well, sort of, Check out this Bad-arse RL at vtec.net.

I'm surprised they don't plan to put any hybrid powerplants in any Acuras or SUVs. The MDX/Pilot is an ideal candidate, a great car with fairly lousy gas mileage in its existing form. I agree that the HSC is probably dead. :frown:

Sad, if true (and I suspect it is based on the lack of any credible evidence to the contrary). I really liked the HSC from a design standpoint. :frown:

I read this thread with alot of interest. I have recently learned that my old NSX ('92 auto) has blown its tranny. I am geniuinely sad and feel badly for its new owner. I hope he keeps the car and converts it to a manual. I spoke with a local Honda tech and he too thinks that many (not all)...

Honda's truly lost it's way. They've allowed their once world-beating supercar to stagnate. They refuse to import any of their Type-R cars to the US. They are allowing Chrysler and GM to build more desirable sport-compacts. They have detuned the venerable Civic into a Buick. They spent the...

Cool, I'll definately check it out.

Tried to look in the "garage" for NFSU2 on their website but wouldn't show the cars. Are there any new cars? any improvements?

Enjoy your car, the C6 is indeed impressive. I'd like to think that someone at American Honda could see what's happening. There's alot of us NSX fans that have felt the need to try something else lately. You want more power, I wanted less weight and a more visceral sports car. Believe me, if...

'92 automatic at Fox Valley Motorcars. Anyone on this board pick it up? How is she? I miss her!

I checked one out at the Lotus/Lamborghini dealer in West Chicago. Don't really like the back of it, looks alot like the MR spyder. It needs a wing or a rear diffuser or something to dress up the tail. Front is very attractive in person. Interior is OK, preferred the NSX's seating position...

Was the red SC'd NSX a Zanardi from Eden Prairie, MN? Wish I would have at least looked at that car (was on sale earlier this fall). If you guys have another outing this fall, I'd like to come (with the S).

Very sorry to hear of your dilemma. I had the same problem when I left Minnesota. Probably better to take the loss than try to lease it from afar. Furthermore, I think the real estate bubble is just starting to burst, doubt that valuations will be coming up again anytime soon. Interest...

Two things: 1) The Integra is a great car! The Yoda of Prime and many of us respect the car very much. 2) Really wish you guys could have beaten Michigan, would have helped the Hawkeyes in the rankings! Welcome to Prime, I don't own an NSX either (anymore), but still like to lurk here.

I'll assume your question is legit and you're not baiting us, possible reasons for a slow-feeling NSX: you are used to more torque, you bought an automatic, you are used to forced induction, or there is something wrong with your car. Any number of possibilities including a bad TCS sensor may...

I agree with liftcontrol's assessment and have given up on the HSC. Now watch, there will be a new NSX about 1 month after I get my Elise. You guys can thank me when that happens.

I am one of several on this forum who have owned both the NSX and S2000. I have some reservations about the durability of the S2000's drivetrain with forced induction. The Comptech supercharger has a fairly significant improvement in low-end but most of the boost still requires >6200 rpm. You...

If they build it, I'll be back, eventually.

I purchased a '92 NSX in 4/99 and sold it last month for $8,000 less. Figured that way, my cost of ownership was $148/ month. Not counting mods or maintanence, which was probably another 6 to 8 k. Factor that in and the cost of ownership was still only around $250/month. And worth every...

I wholeheartedly agree with JPS, The Elise is no grand-tourer. I am basing my impressions on a too-short (and too-slow) test drive. It sort of feels like an S2000 with all the sound insulation removed, cat bypass pipe, and a bare aluminum floor to help resonate all that lovely noise. The...

Well, I couldn't wait, I've traded the NSX for an Elise! Should be here next March.
