How The Honda NSX Changed Supercars... FOREVER! 

I like Honda reliability but I too preached for a more aggressive approach with Honda designs and engines for the past decade and they have been slow to get off the mark.

The newer nsx is not that good tho

@@sanashams322 my friend has the old NSX(NA2) and the new NSX. He puts it like this the older nsx is for driving, be it on a mountain pass or race track, the new one is for super cruising on the highway Edit: just asked what he prefers to drive and its his NA2, more good vibes from other drivers on the road

Honda only wanted the type R to eat VW’s lunch. Or they don’t bother making it and making it available to the masses.

He doesnt talk about much

@Automobile Addict yeah that's why i talked about i will share my garage soon

name fits

Go ahead bud

@@beluga2857 thanks dude

The R32 GT-R came out the year before the NSX did. The NSX is amazing, but OG it is not.

MR2 was a better choice it beat NSX even Supra

I thought it was supposed to be the poor man’s Ferrari

@@nawin_playz lmao no

most of car guys

Lmao

Japanese cars are just built different

Japanese cars are ok..

NSX is a rare great import. Rest I’d say hell no

You had me until electric car

but electic cars dont make vroom vroom

So you want the honda S660 if it wasn't S660 But S-E As in electric

@@ricardoaporto No they don’t. But they DO make gobs of torque at ZERO rpm. I would trade big torque and horsepower numbers for vroom vroom any day. I remember I almost got run over by a Prius in a parking garage 10 years ago. Back then I HATED EVs and Hybrids. They should have fake engine noise to keep from killing people.

Taking it a step forward I would like to see the 3000GT and Stealth RT brought back in an electric motor at 450 hp at 3,000 pds weight. These cars electronically were way ahead of their time.

Eh I appreciate it, it is a good car, but it's also ultimately a very very forgettable car. It had no impact.

@@IdealMediaChannel you're not wrong about that.

@@IdealMediaChannel Same thing happened with the first gen NA1/NA2 it wasn't until 2000+ that they were becoming known for being so great. The second generation will follow suite watch and see. People are so wrapped up in performance numbers that they don't really delve into the technology that Acura put into the NC1. McLaren and Ferrari have taken note and have copied and revised some of Honda's tech from the NC1 and it will be featured in their Artura and 296GTB models coming out soon. Honda always ahead of the game.

Does good content constitute taking video clips from other channels like they did mine here? LOL

Damn bro copyright this dude

@@ELECTRICEYEMEDIA damn I didn’t even know that dude

Japan is trying to make EV kei cars

Sport cars arent practical

@@Mew-ip3iy they are not supposed to be practical. They are supposed to be exciting, unique, fun and an experience. Not everything in life has to be practical. That is why things have become more and more boring and numb now even with all of the technology.

EV cars CAN compete. I’m born and raised on gas powered coupes. I was brought home from the hospital in a 65 Mustang with a 289. Took my drivers test in a 83 Thunderbird with the 5.0 V8. Just about every carmaker has an EV or a Hybrid car. Porsche has an EV, Ferrari has hybrids, Ford has the Mustang EV,and the Lightning pick up, GM has the Volt and the Hummer. They ALL work. They have decent range and you can charge at home or at a charging station- which are becoming more and more available. You couldn’t say that two years ago, now… EV has come and there is NOTHING we can do about it. Like I said above I love gasoline,but I’m starting to like EV. They even sell the pieces a la carte so you can build your own.

@@josebrown5961 You forgot the most American made car there is, the Tesla. And it is the fastest production car on the planet. Now if they would put the same motors that are in the plaid in the roadster, or a cool looking race car chassis they would have something!

Thanks man!

What year? Bc when I was going to get one they was 60K this was in 2009 and a 91 model

@@sbaby7008 I bought my Evora in 2016, at the time, early NSX where about 35k

@@nintense1 that's crazy I couldn't find one at that price when I was looking around 2016

@@sbaby7008 no regret buying the Evora, I think it’s a better car in every way, but I still love the Old NSX.

@@nintense1 it was mostly high mileage rougher examples that could be found for that price. Back in around 2010 they were already a good bit higher than that for a decently clean one. you would have had to jump on one in the early to mid 2000s to get a clean na1 for around 30 to 40.

@@IdealMediaChannel exactly. It’s going to happen. I’m counting on it

We live and learn buddy.

Damn. That is rough. You live, and you learn indeed! Live on bud!

This won’t make you feel any better but I bought a manual 1991 red/black 30k miler back in 2096 for £16k 🤣 it’s paid me to own it!

@@BAC_Mono Im 67 years old owning all the great and stupid decisions I have made. Hell I thought Betamax was better than VHS! Enjoy your successes.

@@biglongstrongjuicy Amen, at 67 I now have time to revel in both the smart and the idiotic....

You need to be taken for a ride in an NC1 or drive one for a few days. You'll change your tune quick and realize how much better then NC1 really is. Grandma's rotatory phone or an iPhone? ;)

@@ELECTRICEYEMEDIA I do like them and I have seen a few in person so I definitely think they are nice and look sharp. I am just a bigger fan of the older cars in general though because I love manual transmissions and none of the electronics. I ride sportbikes as well so power/speed in a car doesn't matter to me all that much. I have an s2000 as well so you can kind of see where my taste is at. Everything is paid for, property taxes and insurance are VERY cheap on both cars and they are both increasing in value. I would definitely be willing to ride in one sometime though, I appreciate all cars in one form or another.

I am very confident in saying the new NC NSX is a fantastic car, but it just didn't have the revolutionary impact that the NA1 did back in 1990. And I believe that is because the original NSX did such a good job of changing the supercar market, that they really COULDN'T be as revolutionary as other makers when the NC came out. Thanks for watching Paul! Jealous of your garage!

It’s a respectably good car. It’s just not significant in the way the NA1 was

@@IdealMediaChannel Disagree. I think the NC1 has more relevance now then the NA1 did in 1990-2005. Why? Introduction of hybrid technology, torque vectoring, unbridled DCT that is superior than the GR6 in the R35 GT-R, self regenerating electric motors (no plug-in) and more. It's like comparing an old 1970's rotatory landline phone to a 2017 iPhone 8+ and stating that the iPhone is not as significant. It's just risible and ignorant.

@@ELECTRICEYEMEDIA the heritage of the NSX is more than a stat sheet. You literally affirmed his comment in the video about the latest gen. It is an objectively good car, but it shouldn't have been named an NSX.

@@ELECTRICEYEMEDIA I have to disagree. The original NSX was a more groundbreaking car when it came out. All aluminum body, twin plate clutch, 8000 rpm redline, Honda reliability, titanium connecting rods, an amazing intake sound, one of the greatest shifting transmissions of all time , great visibility and ergonomics and Ayrton Senna gave input and helped to test it. When Gordon Murray was testing all the supercars to help him with ideas to apply for his McLaren F1, he drove an nsx and forgot all about the European machinery. He had his new benchmark and owned one for 7 yrs. The new nsx is very impressive with all its hi tech features, but its simply not as grounbreaking. The original nsx also had a decent sized trunk compared to the new one. Im sure the new nsx will be a future classic and ppl will buy them as the price drops.

Thanks for the visit!

Enzo died in 88, he couldnt freak out at 90 nsx.

🤘

Technically the NA2 had pop ups too. The NA2 just means the 3.2 liter engine.

NSX predates the 787, and also they literally did a video on the 787 last month.

What would your other 2 be?

@@kensteinberger6968 FD RX-7, Datsun 240Z, Toyota 2000GT, and 99 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4

@@jacobasuncion3132 I agree with the rx7 and my other favorite is the 300zx. It is rare, but seeing a clean 300zx today still makes a statement.

@@user-ek5nl1jc4b very true

Expensive to who? People who work minimum wage jobs hoping to someday save enough to finance one of these cars by living in a 1 bedroom apartment with 5 other people and living off of Top Ramen just to be able to make the car and insurance payments every month? $157K MSRP for a technological breakthrough of a twin turbo hybrid supercar that is 100% practical for every day use and with 99.9% reliability is a fucking steal by any standard measure. People will cry when then see what McLaren and Ferrari will be charging for their TT V6 hybrids (Artura/296GTB). Try $225K-$350K base MSRP for a V6 that is only a 3.0L from the big name companies. I bet no one will even complain about that because the cars will have a kiwi and my little pony badges on the hoods. Ha!

@@ELECTRICEYEMEDIA Sales Number will shows, no matter how you sugarcoat it. The problem is they have more prestigious brand, especially Ferrari, that's why customers will still flocking to their dealers despite treated harshly. Else NSX will be commercially successful since at the same price or slightly cheaper, you can get fully loaded NSX while you can only get stripped version from competitor brands. That's what happen to both Lexus LFA and Nissan R390 GT1, despite their excellent products, most customers still see it as Lexus and Nissan brand And no, even if in the future the used price of NSX NC1 soars like 1st gen NSX NA1 / NA2 or Lexus LFA and you say "Hah, I told you so". IT STILL NOT COUNT as success for automakers. It's count as success if customers flocked to dealers and buy it brand new from dealers, just like current GR Yaris which sold out in most countries and still have long waiting line to buy 1 also that engineering marvels you talk about, while cool but most important is how it runs in real life. What's the point of those engineering marvels if it's only slightly faster than GT-R (which is much cheaper) or still lost to competitor with same price such as 911 Turbo. I don't need to show evidences for this one since you can search it easily especially when NSX was compared to several competitors in several car review channels If I'm what you say "People who work minimum wage jobs hoping to someday save enough to finance one of these cars by living in a 1 bedroom apartment with 5 other people and living off of Top Ramen just to be able to make the car and insurance payments every month" and I decide to spend $157k MSRP for reliable mid-engine sportcar then probably Porsche 911 Turbo, not to mention it's also faster. OR I can just save more than $50k and get Corvette C8 which offer 90% performance for literally half-the-price of NSX NC1

@@taiminsen8069 Nissan never sold the R390 GT1 to the public Ha! (face palm) Nissan built one street legal car for homologation. If a music album doesn't sell a million copies does it mean the band wasn't a success? R35 GT-R are known for several issues with their GR6 trans, bell house issues among bent rods with any power over 600awhp and the DCT forks as well as a few other mechanical failures. How do I know? I have owned 2 R35 GT-R. The NC1 NSX is a far superior platform and is 100% reliable. Porsche 911 are not the same price as an NSX they are $100K+ more or higher. The 2022 992 Turbo S are going for $270K-$300K right now and a 2022 GT3 is over $300K. You are out of your mind comparing 911 Turbo pricing to an NSX. Christ on a cross! C8 Corvette? They are junk. I've seen a few at the drag strip snap stock axles on bone stock cars. They run high 11's low 12's in the real world and they have an outdated pushrod V8 that makes the infotainment in the NSX look as fast as a Plaid by comparison LOL.

@@ELECTRICEYEMEDIA Nissan was trying to sell it, some media such as Road and Track was tested it at 1998 (by Sam Mitani). It was written "Now Nissan is keen to to keep the ball rolling, announcing plans for another Le Mans effort next year (without the help of TWR) and officialy making the R390 GT1 road car available to costumers for the cool price of $1 million". My personal opinion is due to its prestigious competitor such as Porsche was selling 911 GT1 at cheaper price for $912,000 and it's just a "Nissan" for most customers might affect it Don't change it into Band and stick it into cars. And yes, it matters especially if you want to support this kind of cars to exist, you need to buy it brand new from dealers, not buy it as used cars Why you compare it to recently release 992 Turbo S when most car reviewer and journalists compare it to 991 Turbo ?? A simple search will shows it has the same price, for example: autoexpress in UK quote as tested 137k (991 turbo) VS 143k (NSX), while in Australia NSX cost aud 400k VS 991 turbo start at aud 385k. Even at USA, caranddriver quoted 2017 911 Turbo price as tested for $168k (base at $161k) VS 2017 NSX NC1 price as tested at 200k (base at $157k), while motortrend also quoted 991 Turbo's baseprice at $161k. Do you see the problem ? at some countries it even more expensive, just as I stated before. Now I ask back same question to you, are you out of your mind ? Yes you said GT-R are crap and NSX are reliable, but the fact that you owned 2 GT-R said it, unless soon you gonna sell both and buy NSX NC1. Yes, you said C8 corvette and GT-R R35 are trash, I got it. But the fact sales numbers says otherwise is hard to argue. You want to support Honda to keep building NSX ?? then do buy NSX, if possible two NSX just like how you own 2 GT-R, and no, buying used is not count. If you want to support them to keep making it then buy it directly from dealer The fact NSX NC1 total sales numbers is just 1/3 of NSX NA1 / NA2 says a lot. The fact that Honda can only sells 10 NSX in Australia while Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini and McLaren can sell similar price 911 Turbo, 488 GTB, Huracan and 570s more than NSX says alot. The fact that even they stop selling NSX at japan since 2021 also says a lot I repeat, you personally satisfied with current NSX NC1 ? Good for you, now go gather all people who want to spend $160k for mid-engine sportcar, bring them to Honda dealer and buy those NSX brand new to support Honda automakers

@@taiminsen8069 Again, Nissan never sold the R390 GT1 as a street legal car to the public. A 2017 Porsche 911 Turbo had a higher MSRP than the 2017 NSX did. Acura also offered $20,000 (USD) rebates as well offsetting a fully spec car at around $149,000 (USD). Why are you comparing the sales numbers from an NA1/NA2 to an NC1? The NA1/NA2 were in production for 15 years and Acura/Honda made 18,685 NSX from 1990-2005. This means they averaged 1,245 cars per year. The NC1 was only in production for 5 years 2017-2022 with only 2,908 cars ever made. The average made per year was 582 per year, making the NC1 by far more rare and exclusive than it's predecessor. Of course it sold less, because there were less cars.

Production officially ended in 2005, but the last cars were finished and sold in 2007.

@@kensteinberger6968 thank you for the information. I purchased my last one I guess and my 1999 off the showroom floor. They were both roped off with a sign that said “Do not touch” I new I was going to purchase it the moment I saw it. I had seen one running through the town I live in. I followed it home. Got out of my work van. I walked up to his garage and said “what is it & where do I find one.” We got talking and he let me walk around it then unlocked it so I could sit in it. I was like a large mouth Bass hooked on a big Hook! I called around. Found a brand new one in the showroom 1 county south of mine. Drove down to see it on a Sunday. Wrote a check for 20,000.00 to hold it for me until the next day. Grabbed a friend. He gave me ride down. I wrote them another check and drove the hell out of it until 2002. I think I’m rambling. Sorry!!

No it’s not. They just used it as a goal. I don’t think I said they made it formula 1 car power to weight, it was just a target.

i think he means body to weight ratio with is something around 40:60.
