They're really great cars that need to be seen in person/driven to really appreciate. I think the best part about them is the nimble handling and the sitting position -- you feel like you're sitting on the floor, driving a go-cart.

The power isn't bad stock, but the supercharged ones are FAST. During some of the in-cabin shots, I had to ask them to accelerate at 80% throttle, because I had a hard time holding the camera

But hope that 3 car garage with the NSX in it comes sooner for you

The car looks better then 99% of the cars out today.

I have seen quite a few NSX's on the road, much more compared to Ferrari's and Lamborgini's. I have only seen maybe 6 or 7 Ferrari's on the road in my lifetime and 3 or 4 Lamborgini's but I have seen around 15 or 16 NSX's on the road but then again I never lived in California or Florida, I am sure I would see alot more exotics in the more expensive areas of those states.
Oh...definitely +1. Although I'm in between both but hell, either can look nice. But the fixed headlights have grown on me over the last couple of years.
Well, here's a NSX tribute, I like the colour, fairly different:

Henry - oh boy, if you are on Prime, its only a matter of time I LOVED my NSX and sold my very rare 2004 White/Black NSX (1 of 1 in 04) this past spring. Exotic looks and feel and that oh so important reliability.

Pic of my 04 NSX (Teins and 18/19 HRE C20s). As with most of my cars just a drop, tint, and nice rims

Maybe the J37 from the RL/TL/MDX, but the C32 is more of a performance oriented engine, while the J37 is more economy and emissions oriented.

Looks great. White ones are very rare, especially those in good condition.

Thanks! We have a great NSX crew, which makes my job much easier.
Yup, Hans Zimmer makes awesome music - he's featured in almost all famous movie sountracks...The Dark Knight music is his work as well

Thumbs up

So I’m thinking its almost time to finally get myself an NSX for that 'been empty forever' 3rd spot in my garage.

As I’m searching thru Car Chat I ran across this thread.

I need to say --

PhuShizzle - You ROCK!!! Awesome pic's and the editing on that video trailer is 1st class.

Great cars, and Great Work!

Thank you for sharing,

TripleL

PS Yet another example of Search being our friend.. I think
