1992 Acura NSX from North America - Comments

The door and center console trim surface bubbled and separated from the plastic core material, probably due to the high heat in Arizona.

This is the most fun high-performance sports car I have ever driven. The handling is incredible. Steering is lightning quick, but the engine could use a little more torque down low.

My NSX is not bone stock. It has been lowered 2" from stock height, I've got 18" wheels front & back, and Matrix racing seats with 5 point harnesses. The car is probably one of the sexiest exotics out there.

Handling wise, the thing rocks. The stock horsepower & torque figures are a little disappointing though. My next investment will have to be a Comptech roots-type blower, delivering around 8psi of boost, to get the power to match the outrageous looks of a car such as this. Most of you people out there who will read this will say "What's wrong with this guy? The NSX is fast enough, blah, blah, blah. Trust me, after you drive a Viper, Z06, or a Ferrari F355, you will realize that the NSX is lacking big time in comparison.

Honda has done a great job making this car ultra reliable. But in a world of 400hp+ sports cars, the NSX can't keep up in stock form. This is a car that really should have had at least 450hp to realize it's true driving potential. The car's handling & suspension could definitely support that amount of power.

Anyone can find run of the mill sports car like the examples you have listed. But only a select few are lucky enough to have the opportunity of owning an Acura NSX. Whens the last time you have seen another NSX in a months time?.

"Whens the last time you have seen another NSX in a months time?."

You don't see them much because no one wants them anymore which has led to them being discontinued. Once the late 90's came around the NSX became obsolete in the performance world, but they kept charging outrageous prices rather than lowering the price to other cars in it's performance bracket. Owning one has nothing to do with luck people who own them just like the look and feel of the car enough to pay $80k+ for a car that performs like a $40k car.

Actually the nsx is still being made as it is still an excellent car, it may be lacking a little bit in the power department, but that doesn't stop it being one of the best handling performance cars around and with used values getting cheaper they are easily becoming much more affordable.

Quite a head turner though when they first came out though. I drove my bosses new NSX a few times. It would be a very good value to buy one used now.

They only made these in limited production. In fact I can't recall the last time I saw a NSX. Most people bought these because they didn't want a corvette.

I doubt a Corvette buyer would go with an NSX. More likely compare to a low production Viper or even a Lotus. More unique. There are too many Corvettes...

"They only made these in limited production. In fact I can't recall the last time I saw a NSX. Most people bought these because they didn't want a corvette."

You do realize that everything you wrote here has absolutely nothing to do with what I wrote.

Actually the nsx is still being made as it is still an excellent car, (it's a decent car by todays standards and check this out but be warned it may crush your ricer dreams www.carpages.co.uk/honda/honda-nsx-14-07-05.asp) it may be lacking a little bit in the power department, (try lacking A lot in the power dept.) but that doesn't stop it being one of the best handling performance cars around (once again it's handling is OKAY by todays standards) and with used values getting cheaper they are easily becoming much more affordable. (to get an NSX cheaper than a new corvette you need to buy an old junker and yet the vette beats it in every single performance aspect you can mention)

2:04 the NSX is no longer made.

Power problem solved with the new engine config 2003-2005.

Vette buyers could not afford this mid engine car new. You would be in the Viper price range actually.
