Which Nsx should I buy? NA1 or NA2?

Congratulations on the purchase! You just beat me to the car. I flew down to Florida to view it at Formula 1 and by the time I got back to NY the listing was removed. Glad to see someone here got it and it wasn't being shuffled around dealerships.

Ended up purchasing a 23k mile example up north. 1996 BB/Tan

I was also looking at one up north with 23k miles. Same combo as yours. It was for sale in connecticut. Is this the car you bought? That was my first choice but he was pretty firm on price and it needed all the stuff done to it. I Decided to just pony up a little more money and buy the one with less miles.

Hi, Yes this is the same car. What work specifically needed to be done to it? I sent you a friend request. Thank you.

It needed all the delayed maintenance done to it. It only had 26k miles but it hadn't had a water pump replaced in a long time, timimg belt, oil change. ect. Needed new tires.

Hey there. I’m actively looking to purchase an NSX. I like the targa version but I am OK with the coupe. I’ve driven at 91’ in the past but it’s been over 15 years ago. My question to those who have owned both . Is one Significantly better than the other? I’ve read some people like that earlier models some people like the increased horsepower and torque in the later models. Just trying to narrow my search down. I prefer to have the pop-up lights so nothing over 2002. Can anyone give me some insights Who have driven and owned both in the past. Much appreciated. I’m not worried about the chassis stiffness and the flex of the Targa model. Just wondering if there is any noticeable difference. I do understand the gear ratios were changed with which might be an added plus.
Thanks

The only independent head to head NA1 to NA2 comparison I know of.
