Disrespect and bullying that's encouraged, promoted and Spread on NSXPrime.

95-96 M.Y. NSXs got/get nowhere near as much "trashing" as automatic transmission NSX models.

lol. Truth right there.

exactly an auto nsx is a civic with a body kit...

I'm fighting for the respect of the 95-96 NSX,

With all due respect, we are talking about a car here. Everybody has his/her own preferences. I personally think there are other important issues in our lives that needed respects these days. I've said this before, ALL NSX's are great.

Sir I identify as a car! Please don't treat me like a 95-96 targa automatic! I deserve the respect of a 99 Zanardi!

Whatever you identify as, you're always NSXy to me.

I'm going to throw a flag here. As a '95 owner, that doesn't reflect my experience joining Prime. I was welcomed, even when my questions highlighted my obvious ignorance. People certainly disagreed with me, but not because I had a '95. Anyone with any NSX should be darn thankful. I could never have done all of the repairs and maintenance without the generous support of Prime members which is why I'm trying to pay it forward. aamof, I've got ~25 DM's recently to 2 others, helping them sort their new-to-them 95's. I recommend a 95/96 NSX to anyone who wants a Targa with a lower entry cost. Maintenance & milage > year.

However, as an olive branch to all current and former '95 owners (including myself), I have started my own completely unbiased thread to help prospective owners avoid buying a year/tranny/roof/Type S, Type T, Type LMNOP NSX would be bad for them:

Thread 'How to decide what year/tranny type/roof/etc. when purchasing your 1st NSX.'

Considerations for NSX years/features for potential buyers to help pick the right year:

91-94 NSX’s are a maintenance nightmare without OBDII. Avoid them.
95/96 NSX’s are too slow to get out of their own way with extra weight due to the Targa. It’s like they’re half-way towards the additional weight of a passenger in other models, which of course ruins the driving dynamics entirely. And since the weight of a passenger is so ruinous, I recommend removing the passenger seat of NSX's of any year to avoid anyone else asking to share in your NSX experience – save the seat weight too and...

I'm still shaking my head at your sign off "Yours truly from the worst NSX ever created.

I don't offen post here as much as I use too. This post I found very troubling.
I had a very long retort ready and was about to hit post reply but I stopped.
I love healthy discussion, debate, dialogue, but this is NOT. I felt that NOTHING
good would come from engaging the OP anymore. Here in the south when we are
struggling to end a bad exchange we just say "well bless your heart"

To the OP: This should make you feel a lot better about youre car. First realize the best year model color tranny, tire and engine is going to be the one YOU own. That said I found in my search that every OLD car is different, year, mileage, type of mileage, maintenance whatever. I drove everything variation but a NA2 Coupe but I knew I found mine the moment I pulled away and pushed thru 2nd gear, it was just…felt better, more raw than the others, though a all orig 91 with fat fives was a close second. AFAIK the only independent unbiased head to head between a NA1 Targa and a NA 2 Targa was when Everyday Driver reviewed my 95T and Marios 97 and in two days of driving they never once mentioned a noticeable gap in performance between the two except to say they liked the extra torque in the 3.2 that and they actually “…preferred the gear ratios in the 95”, “…the engine and the 5-speed is mated so well, it extracts so much from that engine but whichever you choose, you're going to love it, it’s such a brilliant car”. My car had about 50k on it at the time and Marios was a little over 100k I think. Take it for what its worth but to a couple of neutral outsiders who review cars professionally, Paul was a total Porsche guy, Todd was a Lotus lover, there wasnt enough difference between the two cars to talk much about.

95-96 are cheaper and a great way to grab one of the best cars ever made. Nothing wrong there. Then it's a quite technical forum too and we are aware of the up and downs of each production year, I fail to see any kind of disrespect if we mention the ever failing main relay or the sub optimal gearing of 91-94 USDM models. These are collector cars and often passion projects, we strive to make them perfect

 

[Mintifresh]

Wowzers , don’t think any one meant harm.

Enjoy the car , who cares what anyone thinks . Life is short , smile and drive .

 

[Mikexike]

Life is short, go out and enjoy that timeless machine you got. There is no need to get so wound up about what others have to say.

 

[96-nsx]

I'm just sick of reading that 95-96 only come in Targas. The world is bigger than the USA!
