NA1 vs NA2....which is the better driver car?

[Cozmo]

Honestly I actually would've preferred to have a blue 02+ car (just because it is newer, and blue) but the price difference was so tremendous there was just no way.. I'm not that patient. :wink: The price is probably the biggest difference between the older cars and the newer ones. That has changed a bit in the past year but there are a lot of awesome deals on 91s out there.

well in all honesty I would like to one day own a 02+ na2, however the only thing I hate about it is that it will be a targa top, and the roads in NYC can and will tire out the chassis fast and I am not a fan of hearing squeaks or rattles, also not a fan of potential water leaks. .

+1. I've owned t-tops, convertibles, targa, and they all have rattle/squeaks. It really bugged the sh!t out me.

The best driver's car without major modifications is an NA1 coupe (without assisted steering) with an aftermarket header and a lower final drive. If you do the labor yourself, the final drive and header can be accomplished for <2k$. The poor gearing of the original NA1 transmission compared to the stock 6spd is dramatic.

Why would that be better than a Zanardi

No one has answered the other question he posted, whether an SC that was removed would decrease the value of the car???

My opinion is a qualified yes, with first saying that these engines are great, but if you look at some of the posts/videos of guys driving their SC cars - I believe you'd answer your own question. I would and most people do look for stock cars without a bunch of heavy mods unless they are specifically looking to scarf up on an SC cheap. Cause SCs are spensive! Ok, but most would rather mod the car themselves - you never know but when you look at a car like that - then you better have a close look at the owner.

I'm older and hopefully wiser but I've always shopped owners as much as cars. That process has served me well.

My 2 cents,

i could not tell the difference between the assisted and non-assisted steering rack feel once 'under way'. to me it felt like the assist was disabled after 10-15mph.

I was always under the impression that it was disabled after a certain speed

Ahhh LOL

It's nice to have extra $$$ to spare on the NSX.

And most "outsiders" couldn't really tell the difference between the NA1 and NA2.
