Is all your antennaes that long?

[Timmy]

I work in downtown Fort Lauderdale, on Sat late night and saw a stock looking yellow nsx targa cruising the strip, anyways I just noticed how damn long your guys power antennae was. Just really weird sucker was sticking up so high it was very funny. Looked like an RC car. Is that why you guys get those smartenna thingies?


Z ya later

yup. that's it.. the smartenna is to make it retract when you are listening to CDs...

do you have an NSX or just curious?

The stock antenna is 30 inches long, which is not particularly long. It just looks long because the car is only 46 inches high when stock, even less when lowered.

No I don't have an NSX, perhaps in the future. But I can keep up with guys because of my 1993 300ZX TT. I'm a couple of years off but I'd like to get a 97+ Black/black targa or a Zanardi. Will see

Either it's not stock, or else it's driver skill - because with equal drivers, a stock NSX can spank a stock 300ZX TT.

Yes they're quite long (blush...)

Here's something to take care of that:

I don't ever listen to my radio (just CD's). I unplugged the antenna. What an eyesore it is, fully extended! IMO.

I don't know what the hell is the problem, but that freaking thing looks like a satellite antena.

I look at a long antenna as a sign of a nice car (LOL). Look at the older more classy Jags and notice how long that antenna looks. Plus it comes out at the most thin point on the decreasing trunk thickness. It stands out like the sears tower. Yet it looks like it the power housing shouldn't be able to fit in the tiny wedge part of the body its in.

Besides, it is a toy so perhaps it ought to look like an RC car.
