Can someone tell me the differences? I'm looking to buy, I'd just like to know. I've seen a used NSX-T significantly cheaper then the newer NSX, so I'm trying to compare, thanks in advance.

 

Go FAQ yourself. BTW, almost all of NSX sold in US after 1997 are Targa-tops except few exceptions and 50 zanardi editions.

 

Thanks.

Either one is teh sexay.

 

NSX = fixed-roof Coupe (although the term is sometimes used to describe the coupe or the NSX-T)
NSX-T = removable roof panel

All '91-94 NSX and all 50 of the '99 Zanardi NSX are the fixed roof coupe. All '02-05 and almost all (around 99 percent) '95-01 are NSX-T.

 

lke others have said your 'newer NSX' is an NSX-T. It's highly unlikely you will find any coupe after 95 except the Zanardi models mentinoed above, as anything else would have to be special order.

 

how much difference in weight between the coupe and the targa top?

 

60 kg aka 132 lbs

Comparing the coupe vs the NSX-T of the same year, the actual difference is 95 pounds (43 kg).

The '97-01 6-speed NSX-T weighs 3164 pounds; the '97-01 6-speed NSX Coupe weighs 3069 pounds.

The '97-01 automatic NSX-T weighs 3208 pounds; the '97-01 automatic NSX Coupe weighs 3113 pounds.

Official curb weights, per Acura's published specs.

(Note: The limited edition '99 Zanardi NSX weighs 3015 pounds, but it has additional weight-reduction features not available in the NSX-T.)

 

thanks for the info... now i need to hunt one down to purchase..

 

Interestingly enough, they called it a T as opposed to the full 'Targa' term, because Porsche has that word copyrighted

Well.....i think you're talking about USA....in Europe is very difficult to find a "T"

a friend has recently bought a 97 from a guy that had 3 NSX's, 97, 98 and 2004-07... all of them are coupe... all of them bought new, 0km ...
the 2004 is absolutly beautifull (stock)..... his 98 is converted to the 02+ front with huge rims ....both yellow ones....the 97 (which my friend bought) is red with red roof....
