Super car - is it or ain't it??? That's a good question - is it old or isn't it? Another good question. Yes it's old but what today like it is faster? Sure the WRX sti is faster in the slalom and maybe just faster but it's no super car...right. So now let's see Lotus just built this great new car; the Evora....right. Anyone look at the specs on that car for quarter mile, 0 - 60???? Does it sound anything like the specs you'd find on our NSXs ..... maybe JUST LIKE IT and it's new.... now maybe it handles better.....maybe....maybe it stops better....maybe ...but it sure doesn't get there any faster and it's about the same money as the 05 NSX was.
Ok, so what are we talking here in comparison - sure it's old now, but still looks great and even the 91 looks great - yeah I know, I have one, but it's a great looking car STILL! It also performs damn good - not like a new Porsche 911, not like a Giardo, not like an Aston Martin or F car but man - it doesn't cost like one either. Anyone look at the newest Ferarri - does that look just a bit like one of the models they showed as the next gen NSX???? Look at the pic in the latest R&T and tell me those rear haunches don't look like one of the designs for the "new NSX" which they should have built.
Sure Acura has let us all down - real big - I'm upset about that too, they came out with one they were testing at the ring and weren't happy with it - wonder why/?????? Could it be that they couldn't get it do the ring any faster than the old NSX???? I think that may have been an issue and then they really pulled the rug out - it wasn't even mid engine.....what a dump on our heads and on Honda's too.
Our cars are old - sure they are ....mine is; it's 18 years old but I've owned some oldies too and believe me it's as good a butt hauler as my '96 993. Not as much room in the cabin but then the 911 is really a GT not a real sports car some would say, since it has 4 seats ....kinda like the Evora everyone's tripping over their ..... to test drive. Let's face it in the world of affordable sports cars and "super car/exotics" ... the NSX still to this day holds it's own despite that stupid top gear bs about the NSX-R. That guy had his head way up where the sun don't shine. Show me another car in that price range that will out do it on a track. There just isn't much to choose from is there?
Old Porsches are all around at Rennfest meets and there are a bunch of guys that just love em even if they aren't super fast - cause they are cool! Guys we have a cool car - the NSX is a great cool auto. Anyone that longs for a sports car experience could do a whole lot worse and it's affordable to maintain. What's not to like?
We own them for a bunch of different reasons - some want to mod them to pieces, make them the "super car" they never were, so to speak, but for everyone of them that has a SC or TC there are about 4 more that haven't done that. So what are we talking about here. The NSX is still great even if it is a bit old. Like a fine wine! Enjoy it for what it is and be glad Honda made it. If you want to do something constructive we ought to all start a letter campaign to Honda to tell em to get off their dead ass and do something with the car!
Support all of us guys that love em.
End Epistle.....:biggrin:
and hopefully buy one too. (in several years
