Default My new to me NSX.........

I always wanted one. Finally took the plunge, bought it two weeks ago and its been a blast. Should have bought one sooner.

If you're looking for something fun, reliable raw, loud, low to the ground and you won't see one every day or even every year, get an NSX.

I highly recommend it.

Nice ride. Congrats !!!

I just saw an NSX on the road a couple of days ago. I had to pause and watch it drive off. Good looking cars with a great sound.

Enjoy her !

Very different from my Cayman S. The CS is refined and quiet, the NSX is raw and loud. The CS is almost like a modern version of the NSX.

If you like Porsches, you'll also like the NSX. Both are fun to drive with great steering feel.

Welcome to the fold!
We have a pair, one mostly stock, and one highly modified and turbocharged.
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

Congrats on that car.

Several times I have said that my pristine 951 is going to go on the block and then either a first year NSX, or a Lotus Espirit are for me. But after ALL that work on my car - well I havent done it YET. But threads like this make me start thinking on it again.

I looked at a couple when I was looking for a new car. Decided to go with the Boxster because the NSXs in my price range were rough, rough, rough (or salvage title), but I will probably own one at some point in my life.
