I thought Senna developed that flutter technique on the throttle to make up for the turbo lag, not sure if that car has one....
Follow Ups:
6 cylinder, no turbo.
Thanks for that. Maybe it was just something that Senna also did to have a lighter touch on the throttle with a high horsepower machine.
I like how they just jump in like they're going for a Sunday cruise. No helmets, no fire suit, who needs it? The only thing missing was a case of beer.....
...I owned an '95 red NSX T-top with chrome wheels for a couple of years.
Most fun I've had in a car since high school ;-)
Always loved them. I have a CL-S but it has little in common with the NSX. I'm approaching 200k miles and the car has been exceptionally reliable. I'd love an NSX but they still command a high dollar.
You bet they do. A numbers proper which has been maintained will do nothing but get MORE valuable.
Most people don't know that for a while they came with TITANIUM connecting rods, the set of 6 being worth more than a compact car of the time.
Too much is never enough
...thanks.
Acura imported only a couple of thousand of them a year so they were always hard to find.
After driving mine for 2 years I sold it for $2000 less than I paid for it.
Now they are getting rare.
The new ones about to come out look ugly in comparison.
Give me the previous NSX over virtually anything that's available today. It's the last world-class car that's still a car and not a supercomputer on wheels. I'm all for automotive progress to make a daily driver safer and more efficient, but for the sheer thrill of actually driving and using all of your senses (and limbs) to connect with the car this is the one. Enough power, magnificent handling, and legendary reliability all in a hand-made chassis. It's a spiritual extension of the Jaguar E-Type, Ford Cobra, and Ferrari Daytona.
...the only two things about the old NSX I would change:
- the exhaust note/engine sounds like a sowing machine.
- the rear tires only last 6000 miles.
Otherwise near perfect.
You mean something went thru rear tires faster than my S-2000?
Wacky:
Too much is never enough
Friend has gone through 4 sets of Michelin Pilot SS in least than 2 years.
