An important thing to consider on a trailer with a shorter flat bed (as you have described) is to make sure the center of gravity on the car is centered over the tandem axles. Once on the trailer, if the car does not get over the wheels correctly due to length constraints of the flat bed surface then you may end up with excessive tongue weight, or too little tongue weight. The balance point of the NSX seems to be just forward of the rear wheels. If you measure the car from the point I am describing and compare it to the position of the wheels on this particular trailer you should have a good idea if the trailer will work for your needs. The ramp angle may prove to be more of a challenge. If the ramps are short as they are on most trailers the chin spoiler will want to drag during loading and unloading. This is an easy fix and may not be necessary if you get lucky.

Good Luck.

Chris
