PUNCH THEM.
the NSX is unmistakable D:
id die to be able to drive one of those.

It's not that good. Even the R could do with a bit of a Fara style workover IMO.
My overwhelming memory of belting one around a track was the floppiness.

As a former Honda of America employee that used to build Hondas and Acuras, this makes me sad. Someone has ruined this NSX. The color, no, and there are way too many unnecessary addons. The spoiler and mirrors are crap, absolute crap... When it comes to super cars, you do not bother with addons as it takes away from what the vehicle was meant to be.

It's his car, at that point it really doesn't matter. But anyways lets see how he wreaked this car. He has a lip spoiler, an aftermarket hood, different wheels, F1 style Mirrors, side skirts, a different rear lip and a small after market spoiler. That's not a D16 civic with a poorly installed Fiberglas body kit, painted steal wheels and torched springs. It is far from some riced out p.o.s.

Also, I laugh at the Super car comment. It's a transverse Honda V6 in the back, It might as well be a Fiero or an MR2. Take an NSX today out of the dark times in car history of the mid 80s to early 90s it was created in and it becomes a lot less impressive.

Try to not take that the wrong way. I am not trying to say it's a horrible car that's not worth mentioning just saying it is not what people make it out to be, it's is not "gods gift to the driver" like some claim. It is a decent car from a time of very very bad ones.

I would be inclined to think a car that pulls .98g and hits 60 in 5.2 stand far and above the likes of the MR2 or Fiero. Heck in it's own time it managed faster Ring laps than many other super cars including the likes of the Diablo GT. And even in modern times the NSX is still an impressive car simply on account of it's handling. Examples with even slightly more powerful engines keep pace with modern super cars and in racing it's always been a tough competitor.

I do hear what you're saying, sure it's not quite in Ferrari or Lambo territory, but sure I'd still consider the NSX a supercar. Not the most powerful beast out there but it handled magnificently and incorporated lots of cutting edge race car technology from its day.

Also it does look very exotic and I think its a great design (all of the sheet metal was hand crafted with english wheels and hammers too). I don't think the owner really ruined it, but I have to agree this is not the type of vehicle that you go slap some cheesy aftermarket mirrors on. And although it's just a Honda V6 the car was still fast, nothing to scoff at by any means. Nothing like the Fiero at all besides the fact that it was mid-engine. The Fiero was based on a Chevy Chevette platform making it handle pretty poorly and was very slow, it was even marketed as a sporty looking economy commuter car. Fieros and MR2s are little 4 cylinders, the NSX made around 300hp. No it didn't have the brute power of a V10 or anything but it isn't nearly as bad or ho-hum as you're making it out to be. Did you know that the NSX was even raced in the 24hr lemans race?

It It was ridiculously priced for what it was, I'll agree it isn't one of the best supercars out there, but I'd say it still fits in in that class even if it is at the low end. It's no regular car for sure and it is by far the best car that Honda has ever built. You're right, no gift of the gods, but it's a little more than "a decent car from a time of very bad ones"

I am just gonna keep this short.

I don't hate the car. I don't think the car's bad. But, I think many people think far too much of the NSX. The fact it's over praised that's my issue with it. It's not bad it's just not the pinnacle of automotive engineering as some fan boys of this car act as it is.

Oh no man, I get you, I didn't think you were trying to say you hated it. I kind of agree with you to some degree. I think it's a great car, but I'd sure find something much better to spend my money on before one of these.

I don't mind the color, it's pretty nice. Then again, I'm happy to see anything that isn't black, white, or grey these days. (look at all the other cars in the background of this shot)

I... Can't... Believe they'd argue over that.

It comes to show that they were deprived of knowing such a nice car such as the NSX (which is rare):<

Aside from that, WOO! 1st gen NSX = <3

* though I am not a fan of the mirrors and the "2nd-gen" like spoiler.

The F-1 style mirrors should stay on F1 cars.

Yes yes yes yes yes yes YES I whole heartedly AGREE!

I still like the first gen best, the projection headlights of the second gen don't do it for me. X3

I never was a fan of pop up lights. I find them just to be yet another thing to break. I have the same opinion of sunroofs they just leak in 5 years. I'd rather have an earily NSX from a looks perspective then the face-lifted one with the fixed projector lights.

I find such things to be a case of take care of it and it won't break. :)

True... but, It's fairly hard to find a car from that time that was taken care of for a fair price.

I dunno bout that. If we're looking in the sports car realm my husband and I have been looking specifically at 1st and 2nd gen Vipers and 1st Gen NSXs for the 28-34k range and found a fair number in excellent shape, most of them sub 30k miles as well.

I am taking about cars under 10K not 40K

If one is looking at cars in the 10k range, then they've no right or reason to ever expect anything even remotely near any kind of decent sports car. In that price range if someone wants a good car then they should be setting their sights toward cars like the MR2, RSX, Integra, Prelude, Celica, MAYBE a Supra and so forth and so on.

Still a sexy car, even with what has been done to it.

The wheels could be blacker.

Somebodyyy doesn't know their cars then!

one drove by me and my friend thought it was a Corvette.

Oohhh first gen NSX! My coach has a '93 NSX! I dove it a few times, and it's in a class by itself. This was one of the first actual supercars in my opinion. At $100,000 new (in '93 dollars), this is relatively affordable. The only downside is that all four tires point in very slightly different directions, so new tyres are needed every 5000 miles :p

Still remember the red NSX that drove past me on 696 back in Michigan. The sound was unforgettable, but you simply can't describe it.

No, not a fan of this one's mirrors, but otherwise, it's not THAT bad.

One of the few respectable and undeniably true sport cars from Japan. Really beautiful car. Not a JDM spec Honda NSX, but still. And it was quite expensive too... Not the car that I would spend my money on, but still I envy the owner. Cheers to him(or her maybe?).

"Two people were arguing about whether or not this was a Ferrari or a Lamborghini"

Lol, wow. Just go home.

Clearly neither of them knew what the hell they were talking about, so why argue about it? Looks like they both lost that argument lol. Someone probably heard that Ferrari are fast and exotic looking so that's exactly what this car must be! Hahaha

I love it when people who know nothing about cars at all try to talk about them like they do. Why, does it make you feel important, do you just hope nobody will call you out on it? Heh, sometimes I'll get into conversations with these people and just pretend I don't know much about cars and just let them go on about it, and feed into it. It's so funny to hear what they come up and try to tell you about like they're teaching you something even though they're wayyy off base.

This is one nice lamborghini of course! (JK)

Lol noobs :p
Frigging love the NSX most well ball ended car I've ever known :)
