I will try to find out if we can have a group of us show up at around 7:00pm!
I will let you all know tomorrow!

How about 6pm or earlier instead? I have something scheduled later in the evening...
I would like to see something specifically planned around the NSX group, and not just bunch of us showing up and park our cars in front giving free advertising for Autobacs, and chit chat for few hours.
Suggestions:
1) shopping spree for all NSX owners with discounts
2) future meeting sponsorship...etc,
3) feel free to add to list...

Sorry Guys (and Gal's):
I called and left messages for Bob Donnelly at Autobac's. Needless to say he hasen't retuned my calls)
. When I last spoke to him a couple of weeks ago he indicated that this was a "soft" grand opening, meaning that it would be lasting a while
.
I will keep trying to see if we can set something up with them for the future (our next meeting .
If you all want to get together earlier than I suggested, GO FOR IT! I just will be late as I have to work late
I wouldn't count on any shopping sprees in the near future

website and product catalog ?
Do these folks have a website with product catalogs ??
How does their pricing compare with other NSX aftermarket vendors (e.g., Science of Speed) ??
EDIT
Website is http://www.autobacsusa.com
No products on-line yet, but interesting articles, particularly about JGTC racing and the cars.
This article - http://www.autobacsusa.com/feature_story/volume_01/building.php - describes the cost structure. About $850K for a GT500 car, about $680K for a GT300 car. :yikes:
This is probably an "average" figure... some GT500 cars (e.g., McLaren) are more $$$

Steve,
thanks for your effort and time. Do you know what date the official opening is?

The sign said Grand Opening Aug. 28 @ 5:30pm.
But don't quote me on that.
I'm assuming the place will be packed. If we're gonna do this, some of us need to come early and secure spots for our NSXs--preferrably close to the entrance. I get off work at 5:30 so I can't do it.
Any volunteers?
