Thank you. I spec'd the matte wheels with Curva Red and was hoping the "Shark Grey Matte" wasn't an overt grey color. Looking at your picture, I'm positive it will look great on the Curva Red too.

You got it??? Is it still on the lot? Can I go see it? PULLLEEZE!
I picked it up at the dealer on Friday, I am home doing some work around the house, you are welcome to stop by, PM me & I will send you the address.
Initial Driving Impressions
I thought it would have some of the newer safety items, blind spot monitoring in particular, it does not, manual folding mirrors (both same as my 2019 Corvette Grand Sport).
I drove it Sunday (2/20, picked it late Friday 2/18), mostly highway, there is a significant difference in acceleration between quiet, sport & sport+, I have not driven in track mode or tried launch control. It was about 120 miles RT, including a stop for gas, Sport + acceleration is strong, I had a little open highway, a quick run to 120 with ease, handles good, on highway in quiet mode, it is quieter than I expected. I am keeping it in the garage and in the sun in the driveway on Sunday for the paint to cure until I get it ceramic coated, I expect that on 4/16 the ceramic coating will be completed and cured and I will drive it more, maybe a 3 hr road trip after 4/18. It is hard to evaluate handling until I drive on some roads with corners, highway off ramps were easy at high speeds.

Driving the Type S
Is it still parked ? No driving yet ? Are you at least starting it up & letting it run ?
I have read it sounds better outside than inside, I will drive it again on Sunday as I am working Sunday to make up for taking Sat. off, I will wash it Sunday afternoon. I have to find a safe place to try the launch control.

I agree with other posters/dreamers…post some driving experiences, please. *drooling*

I'm sad. I'll never get to drive one unless the buyer of my 2nd lets me take it around the block. :frown:

Will they have Type S cars to play with at the track for folks doing the NSX experience?
That's a great question, and I would very much hope so. I know it's not the same comparison, but I would have been disappointed to show up for my track experience and been put in an NA2 or S2000 or whatever. My expectation was to drive the car I was about to own, which I think the Type-S buyers should be able to expect as well.
NSX Insider Experience Driving Option
I asked John Watts, he was our guide on 1/26 - 1/27, he said there is a Type S available for the driving option.

If you come to NJ, you can give mine a proper go. Can't drive it any harder than I plan to, lol.
Hello all, new to the forum. I was lucky enough to win an allocation for 1 of 11 NSX Type-S available for sale in Canada. I am no. 336/350 and took dleivery last week. Weather here in Canada is still a little cold and wet for a spirited drive, but will post pics once the weather gets nicer. Here is one at the dealership prior to delivery.

WELCOME!
Dang, those are crazy odds! Congratulations!

interesting how they are not building them in order...I guess the export cars get random build numbers...
The GM at the dealership said it could be because it is possibly the first of the 15 to come to Canada, starting with 336 and ending at 350??? Not sure??

Wait a minute- how did Acura permit some rando car dealer to get an allocation? Seems shady to me...I wonder if AHM is aware of this one?
Looked up the VIN on that one, looks like it was sold to an LLC that must have wanted to flip it. Just talked to the guys over at GAS Motorcars and that car has been sold already.
