First of all I have to say that NSXPrime.com has to be the best site for an NSX connoisseur ever!
Now onto why I joined this forum.
-PS sorry if this is a little long winded but I want to make sure to get everything out there so that I won't to keep bugging you guys with my posts.
Basically I am looking to purchase and NSX (duh! - yeah I know, please refrain the flaming). Currently I own an '02 Chevy Tahoe which I have no complaints about - except for the freaking gas!!! - Other than that I have been more than satisfied with the car.
I purchased my Hoe (lol....sorry had to chuckle) - in hopes of how do you say "Pimping My Ride" - but not as corny, about 4 years ago and I have never gotten around to modifying it other than putting in a video system consisting of Alpine/Infinity/MTX products i.e. TV's, amps, subs etc. - oh yeah and a Tornado which I must say I really didn't feel a difference in power or mileage. To me, it's just pointless driving around such a huge car without using it for it's purposes. I don't tow anything, I don't have kids, I don't coach a soccer team - I mean, it's a plush ride but I just need something smaller, more personal, more practical, something that I can drive everyday - this is where the NSX comes in.
Well, now after 4 years, I have matured a little more and am in need of something of what I like to call a "practical neck-breaker." And to me, the NSX fits the mold perfectly. I have always loved the timeless design and to plainly admit it - everytime one rolls by me I often have to crack my neck and readjust my spine.
To cut a long story short, I ask the members of this great forum for their advice. Basically I've been searching the posts for my needs and have come short.
THANKS IN ADVANCE TO ALL!
My concerns/what I need:
1. I have heard of a buyer's checklist for NSX's but I can't seem to find it, if someone can post the link please, I'd be greatfull.
2. I know a car is only as good as how one takes care of it but does anyone have any recommendations regarding Hard Top vs. T-Top. Besides the usual rigidity, noise, and weight issues.
3. Also does anyone have any recommendations on what years are better for purchasing.
^^^ - Hypothetically speaking if I find a car that has been taken care of properly.
4. What the hell is a "snap ring" car?
5. I live in Virginia Beach, VA - Any NSX owners around here gracious enough to take a look at their cars so that I may formally introduce myself to the beauty - I say this because I have never sat or even gotten within 5 feet of an actual NSX besides at the stop light.
6. If any members can recommend other specific posts that are helpful towards selecting the right car to purchase - I would greatful for the information.
PS - I also own a '91 MR2 Turbo, '97 Civic, and a '91 Sentra with a front drive SR20DET. - Just in case anyone wants to compare the NSX to what I am accustomed to.
THANKS AGAIN! - Sincerely Ken
