Hello everyone! I've been a member here for a few years, mostly lurking and reading about the NC1 and owners' experiences. I'm happy to report that my supercar collection is finally complete. About three years ago, I migrated from the R35 GT-R platform to the 991 Turbo platform by acquiring this:

It's a Turbo S but happens to be #375 of 500 coupes built and billed as the Exclusive Series. This is to me the pinnacle of Internal Combustion (ICE); yes, there are more powerful ICE cars, but this is easily the most well-rounded of any car in its league - easy to live with, very tolerant of driver error, its small footprint makes it very maneuverable in the real world, and still very quick in a straight-line as well in corners.
About two years ago, I upgraded my P100D to the Tesla Model S Plaid. Ungodly fast, magic carpet ride with the air suspension and adjustable ride height, nearly 400 miles on a single charge, and practically drives itself thanks to FSD beta; this is the best daily driver in my book.

So my ICE to EV transition was complete, except not quite. Ever since the NC1 debuted, I've lusted after it but the numbers always kept me away. My R35 GT-R was just as fast and, being a numbers guy, I couldn't justify the price of admission. But the technology and design of the NSX kept calling to me like a siren, so it was always on my mind. Fast forward some six years, and my dream of owning one came true just recently as I was able to pick up a one-owner 2017 well optioned with most if not all the goodies.

I believe the NC1 needs no introduction, especially in this crowd. It was the missing link in my ICE to EV transition. My collection feels complete...finally!
