I am posting this in the general section because it is more than just expo related and I think guys that are not following the GenII NSX threads should also see it and have a chance at questions:
As many of you know, Ted Klaus, chief of development for the new NSX is going to be at NSXPO.
I got the thinking, many here may have a legit question that may not get answered. I am sure Ted will have limited time to be there as well, and so it may be important to get prepared ahead of time, and make an official list of questions everyone agrees on. This way we don't repeat the same questions, or ask things that we already know the answers to, and waste valuable time he has given us.
So I am making this thread so that we can all come up with a good list. I will start by a few of them myself, and if we get more input then perhaps someone can read off the list. I am sure he would be appreciative of a group that shows up prepared, over a bunch guys randomly raising their hands to ask something then walking out and thinking "dang I forgot to ask XYZ".
Please add to the list, but keep it brief. We can modify and simplify the list if need be.
1) I am possibly a new NSX customer. You have mentioned several times the "man-machine" connection is important. I did not buy a Nissan GTR specifically because after a test drive this connection seemed to be missing. Can you tell us how you plan to make the car more connected? The manual transmission with a clutch pedal is something many of us like. But now it is gone. How do you replace that sort of driver involvement? The Gen I NSX had no electronic aides other than ABS or a basic traction control. How do you keep a car modern yet allow an EXPERIENCED driver to still be deeply involved with the car?
2) You have mentioned that the new NSX will have some sort of silent electric drive capability. Is this still going to happen? Can you tell us if there are plans for the car to have a plug to bring the batteries back up to full capacity outside of the engine?
If you add questions, please number them. The next question should be #3. After that, #4. Please don't make someone have to sift through a long thread to organize.
Thanks guys.
