Congrats on the NSX. The shape still holds up so well, even to this day.

Maybe you can give some driving impressions when you have driven it more.

Again, congrats, and I am very jealous!

Interesting you mention that yours is loud, it must have at least an aftermarket muffler because NSX's (and all Hondas really) from the factory are way too quiet!
By all means join the fun at NSXprime too

thanks! I noticed its pretty common to own more than one NSX. Now that I have one, I understand that. Have one modified and one stock or one for the track, one for the street.

Congrats and nice NSX. I have been debating for awhile now to add one to the collection. So we'll see.

Modified ones often aren't considered 'underpowered' any more, too!

Very nice!!

I will own a NSX at some point. My father has a low mileage and mint condition '94 which I love. If they didn't hold their values so well, I probably would have already bought one by now.

I saw one this weekend. Under 10k miles. Automatic transmission. Pristine red. $50k+. Salesman was positioning it as "rare" with the Automatic, but I can't imagine driving it in anything but a standard.

In the last two months, I've passed on good deals for two NSX's. I need to get rid of a few cars, because I'd really like to own a driver NSX.

I pull the trigger sooner than later, prices have been steadily rising over the past few years.

The NSX totally scared the crap out of Ferrari, and it caused them to improve the build quality of their cars shortly afterward.

Ive seen NSX's with over 200k and 300k miles still running around with nothing more than routine oil changes and a ton of rear tires.

Yes, probably in 2014 as a 2015 model.
Current rumors say midship turbocharged V6 with 2 electric motors up front.
Here is the revised concept car (now with full interior) on display at the Detroit Auto Show.
