Hello all,
Since there have been a lot of new introductions lately I figured now would be a better time than ever to say hello to the community. I have been lurking as well on this board for several years now and the knowledge I have gained thus far has been every so valuable. Thank you to all the members for providing such a wonderful resource.
I have admired the NSX since I was in HS and saw a picture of a red one on the back of a National Geographic. It was on an interesting marketing piece showing all the other products Honda makes instead of commuter cars. As soon as I saw it I just had to know more about it. Finally, almost 8 years later I am ready to purchase my first one.
I did have a few questions, some I'm sure will sound silly. My first one is the driving feel, how would the clutch feel be in comparison to say a 91 Mazda RX7, is it fairly forgiving? Or am I going to be looking at a new clutch a few months after I purchase one?
Also (here comes the silly one), even though I have researched and followed this from the day I heard about it, I have yet to drive one. The past year when I visited an Acura dealership to look at one they would not let me test drive it or even ride in it. So I have no idea how the car rides or performs. I have frequently seen posts of local users offering a ride-along but I have been too nervous to ask for the oppourtunity, afraid to be seen as wasting their time or just another "young guy/punk/etc..." Are there any members local to KC that would be willing to use me as a human ballast?
Just like another new member SiNzz I am also one of the younger members of the forums, and I to promise no "asshatery" either :smile:
Thank you to all that respond and I look forward to meeting more of you.
