In this week’s film, we sit shotgun with Sean Lee for a drive around Los Angeles and its famed canyon roads in his first-generation 1991 Acura NSX. Tastefully modified with period-correct parts, this lithe streak of silver is an evolution of the stock car that was already a fantastic blend of sport and practicality, and though it isn’t factory-original, it has respectfully followed the trajectory, embodying the idea of “OEM plus.” It is, in a sense, more of an NSX than it was before; Sean has built upon the car, honing and enhancing this Honda (sorry, “Acura”) without coming at the cost of the car’s original identity.

@marcscordato4385 6 лет назад

The original NSX with the pop up headlights is still my favorite. The new NSX is a great car but perhaps a bit to complex and expensive it’s not selling that well. The original car was spot on.

@cr2nr 6 лет назад

Marc Scordato that's the nsx all about ...new experiences.

@EmperorXaozx 6 лет назад

I think it failed because the final product is more of a high priced design study that left the concept of high performance (compared to the offerings of today) as a coincidental add on, thus making a car that is both another bland instance of technical ultra-modernism and unfulfilling in what its supposed to be in the first place (a sports car).

@Godspeed111 6 лет назад

I'm lucky enough to be close friends with a man who has a '91, he throws me the keys without even thinking so I have a good amount of seat time in it. Everything that was said I agree with 100%, the feedback and tactile sensations you get, the ergonomics, the design and focus on driving, it's all amazing and nothing comes close to it in my experience.

@mangoracing2617 6 лет назад

A single car built by a japanese economy car company sent the likes of Ferrari to change their ways. Without this car, the Mclaren F1 wouldnt be so damn perfect. Imagine if Honda were to design a NA V12 for their production supercars. They make 4 cylinders sound good. Honda will never try to be like ferrari or Lamborghini. Always the underdog. its better that way though, when you beat the best with less. Honda: The Power Of Dreams

@noth606 6 лет назад

I agree with your sentiment up to 'underdog' - it was a damn long time ago when Honda was an underdog by any measure, that would have been 50's or 60's, when they built this they were racing F1 and very likely had a bigger R&D department than Ferrari and Lamborghini combined, and with a budget to match it. But cars like this and the new GTR bring something to the world from a different perspective, and I think both have become and will continue to be inspiring to where cars go to in the future, there were several other cars like that from Japan further in the past.

Great owner, great car and great mods! I started reading here and started seeing "keep it stock". Listen, these mods are reversible but everything is well done and tasteful! Virgin cars are out there but not everyone likes those dinky little wheels that came on it, or the choking exhaust system either. Tweaking a car accordingly is all apart of being a car guy, it has to reflect YOU and what YOU are about, period!

The 90's were a golden era for Japanese sports cars and sport compacts. There were so many great choices: 300ZX, 240SX, NSX, 3000GT, Eclipse, Supra, Integra Type R, Civic SI, MR2, etc.

@BrennanMcKissick 6 лет назад

This guy has successfully built the most perfect NSX ever. I've always thought these cars just needed light, tasteful mods to really stand out. Wheels/tires, suspension, brakes, very light aero enhancements and an exhaust. If the hood was painted and the car was white, this would be my ideal NSX. Very, very good film.

@alexbritch02 3 года назад

As a Honda lover for the last 30 years, I love to see this. I don't know if I will ever get a change to own one but for now I'm quite happy with my CRX si

@revnto7k 6 лет назад

Great video. One of my favorite cars, always has been always will be. I would love to own one someday. Nothing is built like this anymore sadly, and as much as the new NSX is a track monster, you just will never get the driving purity that 90's sports cars offer. Long live the 90's, gone but never forgotten.

@eightosaurusspelunk1598 6 лет назад

When I moved here to Japan in 2002 I bought my father-in-laws green 1997 Honda NSX Type-S with only 12,000km for the equivalent of $15,000. I now have 196,000km on it and have had 0 mechanical issues. It is completely original other than I put black magnesium wheels on it in 2010. Truly a great car and I plan to give it to my kids one day.

@ericseven711 Год назад

That's a very high mileage for a type S ! It's very inspiring. Do you have a Instagram or some photos of it please?

@district5rookie 6 лет назад

@neovenom9833 6 лет назад

The current NSX has everything the previous one did not have, and it's exactly the reason why it will not age gracefully. It was mechanical engineering and ergonomics at it finest. Something the Italians, Germans, or British did not achieve back then. More and more people are asking Honda about the Gran tourismo concept, the so called baby NSX. A modern nsx with out all the extra hippie BS.

For those of you upset about his English, please let us know how you get on next time you do a video voiceover in your non-native language. Perhaps you’ll then be more inclined to give the guy a break. And PS great to see him hanging it out on dirt. For driving not polishing, right?.

As an American I understood him perfectly. His opening analogy of comparing the impact a car can create vs looking at a piece of art was in my opinion better said than the majority of native English speakers here.

@justenn9949 5 лет назад

This is like the trifecta for Petrolicious. The car, the owner, the camerawork. This still one of the best videos they've shot in terms of cinematography. And Sean has such a great perspective on car owning and he's able to verbalize it so well. There are a few truly great interviews on this channel, Sean is definitely one of them.

@330arr 6 лет назад

Petrolicious, thank you for making another video about the NSX. The first one from some time back had little in the way of drive time with the NSX and veered off into showing a different car entirely. This video was much better. The opening shot for some crazy reason made me think Millennium Falcon in the hangar on Hoth :o

@6rimR3ap3r 6 лет назад

The NSX to me is the real JDM unicorn. I've seen a handful of Skylines, Evos, Supras (owning a Mk3 7M-GTE myself) and I think one or two RX-7s over the years here in Germany. Also an F40, Porsche 959, Viper... But I can't remember actually having seen even one NSX in that time. It's probably the Zenith of mixing reliability with advanced tech, sports heritage and knowledge and everyday usability. The JDM idea of a 911 in my opinion.

@brunorivademar5356 6 лет назад

I am still glad other enthusiast got theirs because now I see them at car shows and on the streets which wasn’t the case a few years back. The gym I go to even has an NSX owner and mind you the membership is only $10.00 a month. It goes to show you that those that truly enjoy their cars are the enthusiast that dream of owning their favorite car and actually drive them.
