    Anyone have a C8 Z06 yet?

    I'd love to hear a review of the Z06 vs NSX engine/sound. My C8 SR HTC is leagues ahead of my old NSX in every way, except it's missing that high-revving engine. I'm on two waitlists for an MSRP Z06 (probably 2-3 years out) and am thinking that the LT6 will check that last box, and perhaps I...

    Recommend a car for me

    Hello all, it's been a long time! Not sure who is still hanging around this place, but NSXprime was always my go to resource for anything and everything car related. Sort of a 90s version of Quora :). So let's give this a shot for old times' sake. My E46 M3 vert is getting a bit boring...

    Ideas for next car?

    Thinking of some new wheels in the spring to replace the M3. Wondering if there is another option I haven't thought of. Requirements: $40K max Convertible (absolutely mandatory) back seats large enough to hold one small 9 yo girl. My son sits in the front, for the whole family we just take...

    October 18, 2015 MA/NH leaf peeping drive

    Place holder as we work out the details. We will meet in Newburyport off exit 57 (rte 95) at the park and ride. Not sure what time yet. It's myself and a couple of other M3's so far, but I would love to see some of the old (and new) NSX locals again. PS, Pats game isn't until 830pm, so...

    How do you mentally deal with major traffic on a daily basis

    Serious question. I don't have a lot of patience. Since I had kids I've gotten way way better at this, but not so much when driving. Slow people make me angry. Being stuck in traffic infuriates me. It's a big problem for me, one I don't know how to address, so I avoid traffic. Well, after...

    2016 Ford GT

    The production ready NSX was finally revealed today at the Detroit Auto Show.... and IMO was totally eclipsed by the new Ford GT, also revealed today! -------From Jalopnik-------------- Ford did it.

    2014 NFL post season

    Oh man!!! Can't believe the Patriots pulled off the win last night coming back from 14 point deficits TWICE. We've been playing like ass since November but they really thought outside of the box last night. Between four offensive linemen and the high speed ineligible receiver switch-arounds...

    Old stock option question - privately owned company

    I've been kind of wondering about this for several years but never looked into it. I still have over 1 million stock options from a company I used to work for that I have to exercise within the next 4 years or lose. We had an ugly breakup after new investors came in. I sued them and we...

    Blizzak ws70 all over the place

    I recently replaced my ws50s with ws70 on the rear of my m3. The car is all over the place now. If I'm taking a 270 degree Highway ramp, the traction control is constant on and off at anything over 40 mph and the car is squirrely even switching lanes. I don't feel safe going much over 70 in a...

    The NSX designer also designed the Enzo? and Mid Engined C8 Vette

    Ken Okuyama visualizes the forthcoming mid-engined C8 Corvette In this month's C&D there was an article about the C8 corvette and that it will FINALLY be mid-engined (as in, behind the driver). Seems like this is a sure thing! That's pretty exciting. So C&D asked 3 famous car designers to...

    What's your favorite area to sit to watch an NFL game (besides your couch :))

    Taking my son his first NFL game... it's also my first. He's a big fan of football, but it's obviously a very different experience actually seeing a game vs. watching it on TV. I'm taking him to a pre-season (Pats vs. Eagles) so I won't feel like I have to make him stay if he decides he wants...

    New NSX Just Burned To The Ground At The Nürburgring

    The New NSX Just Burned To The Ground At The Nürburgring How do we know the upcoming 2016 Acura NSX will be a legitimate supercar? Because it burns like one. An NSX prototype apparently burned to the ground during Nürburgring testing today. Germany's Motor-Talk reports that two test drivers...

    What does one need to print commercial grade stickers?

    I watched a video where it looks like first the printers were printed on an inkjet, then fed through some sort of laminator and from there into a plotter to cut them. I have to imagine that there are home grade versions of the last two that are available cheaply enough now so it wouldn't cost...

    Watching LeMans

    Any recommendations on the best way to watch LeMans on my TV? I have a Chromecast but nothing else hooked up to it. I will happily pay for quality video that I can Chromecast to the TV, but that means it needs to be in a browser on my PC. I'm usually the guy answering the tech questions...

    Road Trip!! Boston -> ???????

    On Friday evening, we're going to hop into the car and head in the general direction of southeast Tennessee. Trying to take roads that take us through places we have not traveled before (ie, avoiding 95 and all the cities on the coast) and where the temperature will gradually increase. I don't...

    NSXprime Facebook has no relation to NSXprime.com?????

    This whole time I had thought that was Lud's Facebook page. Kind of annoying to me that Lud and this community spent so many years and $$$ building the NSXprime "brand" and somebody would just appropriate it for their own use. Rob - I'm assuming the admin is Lud Ryan - This guy is the admin...
