Man, the NSX embodies everything that we've lost in automotive design since the 90's.

@petersrensen6034 10 месяцев назад

It took just enough from cars that came before it without being completely derivative. It's a classic - an original. Definitely in my top 5 list of greatest production cars.

The NSX was one of my dream cars, along with the MR2, RX7, and S2000. When I was in high school around 2007 these NSXs were $25-30K for clean low mileage examples. Unfortunately they just kept being slightly out of reach for me, even as I earned more over the years.

@carguy7627 Год назад

I wasn't too into these when they first came out. I hadn't seen one in person, just in magazines. When I first saw one in person I was struck by it's road presence - low, wide, and small - I loved it. Acura was still new (six'ish years old I believe) so their capabilities and future were still unknown. While it was really Honda behind the scenes, they weren't known for car performance back then. With the benefit of hindsight these are getting the love now that I don't remember them getting when they came out. I would love to own one now.

Wow. The driving experience seems unreal! the sound when you get on it, even the sound when you're off the throttle, the way it takes those corners, everything about this car is amazing. Also, I'm no stranger to TheTopher's impressive skills, but he really knows how to drive especially at high speeds. Every time I watched him hammer it coming around a corner, I'd flinch a little bit because I know I sure as hell couldn't take corners at those speeds. It must've been a really thrilling ride for not only for Topher, but for the passenger as well.

@rik999 Год назад

This reminds me of driving an '85 RX-7. Five speed, manual rack and pinion, no A/C. The feel of the road in that car was superb. Graduated to hydraulic assist and now electric assist. Just a progressive degradation of road feel, although my current car has electric assist that is less numb than previous electric racks. I miss that little kick you saw in the wheel of the NSX as Topher pulled off the road near the end of the video.

@shaunwalsh85 Год назад

Those early 80’s RX-7’s with the old carbureted 12A rotary were badass. So much fun out of a 1500 car way back in 2002! best part was you didn’t corner with a proper line, you legit horsed it hard and it just went where you pointed it. Sideways, but it got there!

I was in college, 2006-07. There was one that was kinda beat up in Chicago for $25k. Black. I had almost nothing to my name in terms of money. Thought about getting a loan, but it would just sit in a university parking lot for 4 years. I regret not pursuing it. Now, while I'm making just over six figures, I'm stuck with a 2005 Honda Accord with 240,000 miles. I'll drive the wife's newer SUV now and then, but the steering just sucks. Nothing. No feeling in it. I'll keep the 2005 until it dies I suppose, just so I can still feel the road. For all of us, every day that passes, these experiences are more and more lost. Just memories.
