I bought my NSX in November. Within days of purchasing it, I was out of town for 6 weeks and upon my return in late Decmeber, the chill in the Northeast was in full effect. Needless, to say the NSX was on ice and in storage. I never drove it, minus the day I took delivery for a total of 4 miles to my house.
The weather finally turned nice up here and yesterday I got it registered and went to storage to get it out. Unfortunately, I had to call AAA for a dead battery. I totally forgot that the battery was in the back, so finding it took a few minutes. The AAA guy actually said: "Wasn't this car in Pulp Fiction?"
After getting it jumped, I drove it home and put the plates on it. This was the first time I really drove the car (after waiting well over 4 months). The sound was amazing--hearing the exhaust note behind my ear, especially when I revved it high. I have yet to really go through all the gears and really get a feel for it--in fact, I just got it inspected today, so the paperwork is finally all clear.
The car also has alot more power than I thought. Maybe I haven't driven many NSX's but this FEELS alot faster than the NA1 as well as another NA2 that I had previously driven. When I purchased it, I was told it was just lowered slightly. It only has about 9K on the clock, but I've learned that it probably has headers and presumably an exhaust, given the phenomenal sounds coming out it. I bet it would dyno quite well, but that's purely speculation.
The car is an absolute joy. I took it to a service shop for inspection and the manager there asked if he could borrow my car if he ever decides to break up with his wife, amongst other comments. I am currently planning on waiting to drive it to my workplace, but not sure that will last. It's damn tempting.
