Bay Area car enthusiast, owner of a 1991 NSX, 2024 Integra Type S, and RU-vidr on all things cars. For business inquiries, or if you have a cool car or story you'd like me to feature, shoot me an email at zygrene@gmail.com.
Porsche numbers/models/trims are freaking confusing. I have no idea what dot 1, dot 2, dot whatever means. I just love how they look and sound. One day I hope to drive one.
Lovely car, thanks. Re the LWFW meaning you have to shift quick, that's not really true. Sure, you can shit quick to stop the revs dropping, but you can also throw in a little blip on some upshifts as required. That allows you to be more gentle on the box and not be smashing the lever through the synchros all the time, which isn't terribly mechanically sympathetic. Would certainly be a useful string to add to the driving bow rather than trying to rush shifts all the time.
People who think V6 engines aren't exotic need to listen to this car and a similarly specced Alfa GTV6 with the 3.0L Busso motor -- which could be the best sounding motor of all time. Great content btw.
Nice to see your NSX sounding oh so sweet Jami! i can't say the same for mine. HQ can't seem to get mine right. I'm so over it. Glad you were able to figure out the CF air plenum. It looks rad (and sounds great)
Chevy has lost the plot, a Corvette at Ferrari prices. Ferrari price doesn't get you Ferrari quality or reliability, you're left with a heavier car with GM quality. golf clap. GM no longer is targeting the middle class with the Corvette as we no longer have a middle class in the U.S.
"Does this car drive as amazing as good as it looks?" I already knew the answer was yes...yes it does. The owner didn't skimp out on the quality build. Honda will never make another car like this. The FL5 Type R, DE5 Integra Type S (sorry Zygrene 😅), and NC1 NSX don't compare. That comparison with the GT4RS is spot on. I always considered the GT4 and GT4RS the true successors to the NSX and NSX Type R respectively. Edit... I thought the 95 and up models got hydraulic power steering and not electric power steering?
If I recall correctly, 95+ has an electric power steering system that supposedly turns off above a certain speed (either 20 or 35 mph). But from my two experiences driving EPS equipped examples, it still feels extremely light at high speed with much less feedback than the early manual rack.
CT5 BW rides WAY better, is much more composed over mid corner bumps, has better steering feel and communication, and absolute handling limits, control, stability precision are all better. literally the only reasons to pick an M5 over the BW are AWD, the badge, and the interior.
He should get the Quaife quick rack, it's one of my favorite mods (besides JDM gears/NSXR final drive and 250lbs of weight reduction). It has one of the best steering I've ever experienced, I prefer it to even my buddies Exige 260S.
