I've seen fewer NSXs and more Porsches in L.A. This is one bad azz looking, super light car.

And what a transformation b4/after SEMA. The posterior paint is hawt.

Ah yes, the NSX. One of my favorite cars currently in the Hale fleet.

Here's ours on a road trip...

That's my GS at the Cars & Coffee meet a few weeks ago. Craig brought out his new Audi RS4, parked to my left. Sweet ride!

One more shot of the NSX... stole this '94 from one of my former HRE co-workers!

For the life of me I'll never understand why the NSX is not the most popular car on the planet. Exotic looks with Honda reliability??? What better combination is that? Some wished it had more power but 300 horses on that lightweight chasis was very adequate. It isn't a racer anyway. It is a beauty.

I dont know if i like that carbon fiber look. I would only use CF for weight reduction, and even so I would paint the car

Man, that carbon NSX must cost more then a Mclaren!

That must have taken an insane amount of man hours to build

NSX is a modern classic. Heralded in the all-aluminum structure days and the looks will never get old. I was thinking of picking up a used one instead of the IS350; the practical side of my brain said no
