You should of selected DIRECT ROUTE on the nav and MAXIMIZE HIGHWAYS.

I think the trip from Ny to Ohio for nsxpo was the longest for me 9 hrs and it wasn't that bad but the again I guess that would vary depending on how each one fits in the seat (__y__)

I've driven to ATL from Jax and to AL from Jax but never straight without stopping for a break for gas and snacks. 6-7 hrs was the total trip time.

I've had many 12+ hour days in the saddle and find it to be quite comfortable.

 

[Kyras]

I will stop every two or three hours just to wake up a bit. Rest stops or scenic views. Gotta pee, get gas or eat, if nothing else. I don't get too sleepy if the road is wide open but if I get stuck behind someone it's like a sleeping pill.

I drove Cincinnati to Lake Geneva, WI stopping once with my 91. I think thats about 6 hours.

I think total time at once is not something I want to think about. I want to think about twisties!

 

[Dtrigg]

I drove across the U.S. twice in the NSX. I guess I did a number of 12 hour days with the only stop being for gas. I was always extremely comfortable in the car.

The longest consecutive time with no pee breaks is limited by your bladder but the next limitation is probably fuel consumption which at cruising efficiencies at 65 mph on flat roads is probably something in the order of 6 hours. My longest continuous trip was about 40 hours (Tucson, AZ to Regina, SK Canada) but that included about 7 hrs sleep. My longest trip (Phoenix to Regina, SK Canada) without stopping for anything other than pee, gas, or fast food breaks was about 1800 miles (2900 kms) which I did in about 32 hours. And I wasn't a cripple at the end of either... a testament to the seat design

looks like Ian, might be the winner here,, wow 40 hours I dont think I could have done that,, yikes,

drove 22+ hours, stopped for gas and food. Didn't bother me at all and my seats are the original 91 seats.

Drove my car to Nashville from Houston - about 13 hours straight. Stopped maybe twice - something like that; got a little turned around in Nashville so it may have been more like 14 hours. Long day and my butt only got tired right at the end but then I was tired out. That's the longest drive I've ever taken in one day - from about 8am to 10pm something like that. Long day - wouldn't repeat that again! But the car was great and so were the seats.

 

[Ko-nsx]

Drove from st.louis, MO to Austin, TX. 13 hours straight and no problems. Stopped 3 times for gas and other stuff.

 

[NSX-ST]

Wow, you guys are crazy. I guess there's not enough roads up here in Canada :biggrin:. The longest I've drove in the X was 2 hours, but man those 2 hours were comfy in the NSX-R seat .

I drove down to Bimmerfest once in Santa Barbara...1250 miles and 21 hours later....not so comfy in the M3.

 

[SuperSonic]

30 min lol. Havent taken it cross country yet. Just locally But i removed the cushion from my seat so i can fit (6 foot 7 inches) so teh metal bottom is not so comfortable on long rides.

Charleston, SC to Texas for Texpo. Then SC to Chicago. back to Charleston to Miami. All in the same year. great drives

 

[TomCat]

Innaugural drive, Houston to Greensboro NC ~1,200 miles, 18 hours
Gas and food (in and out) stops only.
No seat issues.

When I picked up my car 2 years ago in Tampa Fl and drove it all the back to San Antonio in a 20 hour hell ride:smile:

It was more comfortable than my rx7 thats for sure.

9 hours/550 miles with very small 5 minutes stops. No problem with the seat at all, just very tired.

 

[wahoo5]

Drove straight from Mid-Ohio back to Richmond this summer. Took about 9.5 hours with a couple of very short stops. I thought the car was really comfortable. Hoping to take it cross country sometime in the next several years.

 

[synth19]

Drove from Virginia to Chicago... only stopping for gas.

 

[nsx_2k]

Drove from Dallas to Minneapolis (~1000 miles) stopping only for gas & potty breaks. I did the drive solo and it was surprisingly comfortable. There were some nice stretches of road to "clean out the spark plugs". It was actually the most fun long distance solo trip I've ever done.

I spent 25 hours straight in my NSX on a trip from Nebraska to Las Vegas. It required lots of Mountain Dew. I was the passenger the first half of the trip. The second half was torture but I had to make a flight out of Vegas.

 

[enkrypt3d]

24 hours straight from San Antonio, TX to Los Angeles, CA when I bought my car.... only stopped for bathroom breaks and food... and a 20 min cat nap and I was golden... these seats are great!

 

[Danny]

Drove my first NSX home from Michigan, 27 hours :biggrin: lots and lots of Starbucks on the way home but the trip was a blast, fortunately I had a good friend that came with me. Second NSX from South Carolina, can't remember how long but I know I got home in weeee hours of the morning. My 3rd NSX...OREGON!! and it took 3 weeks! Horseless Carriage. :smile:

I have just returned from a 25 state, 33 day, 7700 mile road trip around the US. I Left from Denver, north to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, then along the Canadian Border through Montana, North Dakota, Minnesota finally to Wisconsin. I Had to get tires in Duluth (cansed by a lousy rear wheel alignment here in Denver), then south along the Great Lakes, eventually to Mamouth cave in Kentucky, via Illinois, Indiana, Ohio. I then headed north and east to West Virginia and Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Deleware and Maryland, spending Columbus Day weekend with my daughter and her husband. Next headed to Williamsburg Virginia for a professional meeting with my wife. After she flew back to Denver, I continued south along North Carolina's outer banks, across NC to the Blue ridge highway in Tennessee. I continued through north west Georgia, Alabama and Florida and the gulf coast. Back into Alabama, Mississippi and a few hours in New Orleans, Louisiana. (The weather reports were predicting a major snow storm back in Denver in four days.) For the heck of it I drove across Lake Ponchatrain (boring), into Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and finally back in Colorado. At this time of the year there wasn't enough daylight to bother driving more than 10 or 11 hours in a day. Why take a signt seeing trip in the dark?

To answer the OP original question, several years ago I did a 14 - 15 hour stint from Illinois to Denver -- covering 1000 miles.

I am completing a journal of the trip and will post it soon.
