Nsx

Can't believe I finally got one. However, I can honestly say I like the handling better on the EVO. The NSX is so much fun to drive, though. I've been without my EVO for a few months now and it will be interesting to see the differences between my new MR and the NSX. I think I could get tired of driving the NSX everyday, but I have never gotten tired of driving my EVO's I'll post some comparison's once I've driven the new EVO for a few weeks.

There's no way that is as fun to drive as an evo, but it deffinitely looks nice. Nsx's aren't very quick, but I've been told they handle extremely well. They also eat tires because of the excessive camber in the rear. Have fun, and get lotsa poontang!

Yeah, I can't stand the wheels either. I'm going with either Volk GT-C's or SF Challenges. As for it being not that quick, it is all relative. People say that alot and the newer 97+ models run 13.3@105, so it's no slouch. It is as fast stock for stock as an EVO. No comparison in the upgrade route though. It is hard to hang with a modified evo. I raced it against my SS which runs 12.90's and had a slight pull, so it's in the high 12's. It's got headers, intake, exhaust and makes 315whp. I didn't buy it to go fast anyways. It's all about the chicks.

You didn't waste any time on the chicks part. I didn't realize they ran that well, that's actually not bad for a car of its age. I was thinking it was pre vtec. Have fun.

Welcome to the NSX/Evo club. They are a blast to drive (either one). I love it with the targa off. I've got the Cantrell CAI and a Taitec exhaust. The sound is getting pretty close to Ferrari quality, just beautiful. The thing is surprisingly fast too.

pedalpusher- I wish my garage looked like yours The car is loaded with all Comptech parts. It's not the route I would've went, but it's the way I bought it. I ordered the air scoop and have been thinking about ordering the Taitec GT Lightweight exhaust. The car is a blast to drive, but I am anxiously awaiting my new MR to arrive. I would like to keep the value up on the NSX by keeping the mileage down.

dsevo- Yeah the 97's and newer run pretty well. The 95/96's are the slowest and generally run in the mid 14's. All are VTEC starting back in 1991.

I'm sorry, I thought I read somewhere that they added vtec in 97', but they actually increased dispacement to get the extra 20 hp. I shouldn't believe everything I read on the internet.
