Re: For all you NSX owners....
I'd Say we are all lucky, HONDA created small -fwd- cars that were EXTREMELY REWARDING AND FUN to drive, overachievers many times, we are ALL LUCKY Honda made the S2000 and the NSX, that has SENNA written all over it, that been said, we are doomed Honda is not the same, yet, still we can ALL enjoy still the old Honda philosophy from the GENIUS Soichiro Honda (RIP)... here are some quotes form the man himself:
"I could not understand how it could move under its own power. And when it had driven past me, without even thinking why I found myself chasing it down the road, as hard as I could run"

Re: For all you NSX owners....
Not lucky, just hard working and share a love for the Honda family brand
Always wanted an NSX but timing was never right, waited 15 years to buy my 04 GPW, a bit of luck in finding the car with only 8000 miles on it though.

Re: For all you NSX owners....
^i dont understand your post... please explain
are you trying to refer to the nsx people that anybody can lease a nsx???
sure, you can lease one when they were new, at a good 90-100k each, which is still a pretty monthly payment that not everybody can afford
then theres those of use who need to buy one used, usually cash, from a private seller. you dont see much at a dealer now a days.....

Re: For all you NSX owners....
I drove a Lamborghini Galardo this weekend and wow what an amazing amount of torque. The paddle shifter took some time to get used to. I was impressed with the fit and finish of the car.
One thing I wish the NSX had more of is some torque.

True this. With my stroker engine, I don't what I would do w/ more torque (I have as much torque at idle now as I did at peak before). 1st gear at full throttle is useless and 2nd gear isn't much better though the car will get traction around 5k rpm.
The lack of torque in the 3.0 and 3.2 engines is, what I call, Honda's advanced form of traction control.

I am still debating what I should do all motor/turbo...

Re: For all you NSX owners....
I would have to disagree. I think NSX owners are lucky and hard working. Why can't they have both (luck and hard working ethics)? Lucky enough to own their dream car, and hard working enough to be able to afford one.

Re: For all you NSX owners....
Second, "lucky enough to own their dream car". What does that mean?? NSX's aren't rare--maybe certain color/option packages, but not the car in general. Anyone can buy one if they have the money. You would be lucky to own a 97 ITR, or a Camaro ZL-1, or a BMW 2002 Turbo, or something extremely rare, but not a car that I can find several of on Craigslist with one search, like an NSX.

Re: For all you NSX owners....
After watching some awesome Japanese club vtec videos yesterday of an all motor ITB NSX running makes me want to go all motor. The sound is pretty crazzy. But I will try out turbo first. Worst case scenario. I'll switch up the setup.

Re: For all you NSX owners....
yeah you could have pulled another 20-30 with up compression and race gas. I think that and ITB with your 3.6 you would be nearing 400whp... that would be insane.
