In late 1991, I fell in love/lust with a formula red NSX at an auto show in Dallas but, the $80k price tag broke my heart. Now 20 years later, I bought mine from the original owner five months ago with under 83,000 miles and he had a tear in his eye when he handed me the keys. I know of no other car that can create such emotion and loyalty. I know two original owners of 91 NSXs (all original, no mods) who have owned and traded Ferrari, Maserati, Porcshe, Mercedes and BMW over the years and yet they keep the NSX. One guy has 300,000 mi on his. Both have had no major problems. For years they have fueled my desire for the car. On this site I have read a lot of pride and regret over mods. (The guy who built the NSX-R GT is awsome!) However, I specifically wanted a completely original car in the same color and interior as the car I saw so many years ago. Just like God and Honda created it. It may not be as fast as more recent cars but hey... the fun of driving it as it was designed is what appealed to me and it is still competitive with most of today's cars especially in the corners. The car turns heads everywhere I take it. Even among the Lambo, Ferrari, and Porsche owners at Coffee and Rides. Some have even had their pictures taken sitting in my car. I can't believe I actually own one and you can't slap the smile from my face when I'm driving the car. It was truly worth the wait and I think I appreciate the car even more because of the wait.
PS. As a newbie to NSXPrime, I am so impressed with the info provided by you folks on this site. (I have visited the site over the last few years and I found my car here.) Thanks for participating you have no idea how helpful your experience and advice is to me.

there is no cure for the mod bug just so you know. Ownership is amazing.
