Funny this thread just popped up, an NSX pulled into my work the other day and I was just blown away. Never really saw one in person, completely different than pics. So nice, this one was yellow and had the top painted black with tints.

This would be a great car to just put some wheels on and call it a day. Never going to be the fastest, but not the slowest either. Exotic look, but still a honda so I would trust driving this as a daily more than a ferrari, lambo etc.

Like someone said before, this is a timeless car and you shouldn't have any regrets.

Second that, the guy clearly has been there and done that. I love how he keeps coming back for more Evo between exotics.

I've ridden in one. Like other said, not as fast as they look. They're a cool car though. you can get an early to mid 90's one for ~20k. I'd look into it. I was a big honda kid before the sti and the evo. go on honda-tech.com. theres usually a few on there.

The car has no torque. Your evo will run laps around the nsx but it is infinitely sexier. If its your daily driver then don't bother. The car is tiny.

nsx is a good car. but if you really are serious with performance then you should get the nsx-r.

my bro in law has one...honestly my bpu evo craps all over it..its top end is alright but really slow in 1st etc..

I just like it cuz its so low to the ground and the way you sit in it is pretty crazy plus the engine in the back is a plus. If u got the money get it turbo'd

I think he paid $25k for a 1995.
