I was just curious what kind of numbers the original NSX's put out? I know they didn't have the 6 speed tranny, and I know the motor is slower.

 

Car and Driver 9/90: 0-60 5.2, 1/4 mile 13.8
Motor Trend 12/90: 0-60 5.4, 1/4 mile 13.7
AutoWeek 8/26/91: 0-60 5.3
Sports Car International 12/90: 0-60 5.03, 1/4 mile 13.47

 

When i finish my degree, I plan on buying a 91 or 92. I expect it to have close to 100000 miles or more, but, I'm not too concerned about it. I love and respect the NSX more then most cars. It may not be the quickest, but, it sure does handle well, and thats something I really take into consideration. I'm not all into straightaway speeds anyways.

 

Just don't bite off more than you can chew. If you've got college loans and a not-so-high salary, taking care of a 91-92 could be a little tricky. Worth it, but tricky none-the-less. Then try throwing go-fast goodies into the mix, and you'll find your pockets empty more than you like.

BTW, I wouldn't describe a state that had seventy NSX's driving around this stretch of road a few months ago as the worst in the country...

I concur w/ grippgoat. I've heard that "if the high is what you're looking for, go ahead and smoke crack 'cuz it's cheaper than modifying your car."

Take your time.

 

In all honesty, I wouldn't go nuts with modding an NSX. I appreciate the car more for his handibility and looks, rather then its power. I mean, don't get me wrong. They're quick, but, the NSX wasn't built to be the fastest car on the road. Its an exotic track car, which I appreciate everything about it.

I plan on waiting until I finish my associates degree, start a career from it, and purchase one then. Its kind of like awarding myself with something I truely love, by graduating from college. I am very patient.

 

LOL! I will admit, wisconsin does have some sick twisty roads out in farm land area, but, the Cops here are the biggest ******. Redneck cops don't hate anything more then kids racing around their country roads in rich exotic looking cars.

 

Funny. I got pulled over once while I was out there at about 2am on my way back from madison. So tired I couldn't talk straight to the police officer. She clocked me doing like 70 in a 60 or something (honestly, I couldn't remember a minute before by the time she pulled me over, I was so tired). I thought she was very nice, and she let me go with a warning. *shrug*
