I've been in the market for a few months for an NSX. my short list was a McLaren 570s, AMG GT-R, G80 Xdrive, and the NSX. I actually still have my deposit in for the G80 M3CX. drove the Benz and it was just OK for me and from a styling standpoint it didn't have the look for me. The mclaren was probably tops on my list but value and reliability moved it down to second. I had reached out to Scott(@powdbyrice) for a new order but he told me I missed the window and the order banks were closed. I regrouped and that's when I put my deposit in for the G80 m3cx. then a couple weeks pass and Scott sends me an email that he had a buyer back out last minute, exact color and build I had sent him minus the CCB's. I went ahead and pulled the trigger and being completely across the country from the dealer it just got on an Intercity truck yesterday. Scott's been great and as helpful as he can be from the other side of the country and as 3 hour time difference. only hiccup is my DMV is giving me a hard time getting it titled and registered and the taxes paid as they want the title(which Acura holds) but no fault of the dealers. can't wait to have it in my garage, hopefully I'll have plates and registration by then. I have the hydro-dipped carbon emblems from SoS on order already as the chrome ones look terrible. my PPF and ceramic installer is just waiting for the car.

Congratulations on your new car and I think you made the right choice in selecting the NSX over a Mclaren. The thermal orange is a beautiful color. Wishing you much enjoyment in the future and hopefully your title/registration issues go smoothly.

very nice...having previously owned a mclaren mp4-12c and an AMG GTS I can tell you the NSX is a GREAT CHOICE. My McLaren was fast but really quirky...electrical gremlins, coolant leaks, faulty buttons...but incredibly fast. The AMG GTS was great but a little boring...and not as fast as I would have liked.

Ha...just picked it up a few days ago...very fast but not something I will ever ride to it's full potential. Pro rider would def get that thing in the 9's though.
Congratulations! Man, what a good-looking car.
makes me feel better about my purchase. the brief seat time i've gotten, the thing that stands out most is the build quality. it just feels solid and quality. i already pulled the seatbelts and sent them off to safety restore to get the black webbing replaced with orange. should break up the black interior nicely. so for now the nsx is just sitting in the garage with the battery disconnected until i get it all put back together. very easy to pull the panels and get to the seatbelts, i didn't have to remove the seats. about an hour to get the seatbelts out. should have them back friday and i'll get it all buttoned up and then off to PPF and ceramic coat. then i'll be able to enjoy it. so far i literally got it off the truck drove it 1.5 miles to my garage and thats all the time i've spend driving it. haha can't wait to really enjoy it.
Congrats!
Expect even more gratification as you put more miles on the car.
You might find this PDF link informative; especially around the 6o-day paint curing period -- http://www.nsxwiki.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/01/2017-Acura-NSX-Consultation-and-Delivery-Guide.pdf
Oh and let me know what you think of the car's horn after you reattach the 12-volt battery : )

Between the driver's door and door jamb is a MFD. BY HONDA OF AMERICA MFG., INC. sticker. Top right corner has the build month/year in MM/'YY format.

[B [MENTION=37931]DrRay81[/MENTION] I have photos from 5/24/21 of your car in the factory painted. I ordered that car and the local Houston dealership here accidentally ordered the exact same spec car. They pulled the wrong spec order sheet and apparently the guy that thought he was getting a white car saw the orange one and went crazy after waiting 6 months for his car. The dealership sent him a photo and asked him if he wanted to come unwrap it and that is how he found out. [MENTION=37931]DrRay81[/MENTION]- I have photos of your car in the factory. As for [MENTION=32732]powdbyrice[/MENTION], I sent him some money for all the help he was during the process. He was nothing short of amazing during the process, and I hope to purchase a car from him in the future. I did not want two cars in Houston with he exact same specs and did not want to deal with the shipping. [/B]
I’d love to see some pictures if you could send them to me. I tried to message you but I don’t think I have enough posts to access that feature. Maybe some one of the mods can help [MENTION=18194]Honcho[/MENTION] [MENTION=6718]drmanny3[/MENTION]
You have enough, the other member does not currently

I think your garage floor is cleaner than your car and your car is immaculate
