I am finally back at last. Extremely excited to be back in 2017 NSX. Have not visited the forum for quite sometime. It appears that the forum and community has changed quite a bit.

My business partner and I purchased two brand new NSX in span of less than 5 days apart. We showed up to Lamborghini Newport Beach monthly meet last Saturday with his Huracan and my McLaren 570S. He been telling me how badly he want the Civic Type R and willing to pay whatever mark up dealer is charging to just have it. I said Civic Type R is nice, but we not teenagers any more even though we still are at heart. I said why not just get NSX? and he said lets go check it out in person. We ended up visiting South Coast Acura and was greeted by general manager Chris at South Coast Acura. We both immediately fell in love with it after seeing NC1 NSX in person for the first time. To be honest we are sick and tired of seeing Lambo, Ferrari, GT3, McLaren. NSX is way more unique and no better way to get back into our first love with Honda/Acura family.

Later that night he called me and said "Jason, I went back and bought it". Next day he showed up at my warehouse to show me the NSX and hearing him telling me about how much he likes the car. I immediately ask Chris to find me one with just CCB and tech package. Chris found one for me and they had to do a trade with another Acura dealer, unfortunately that deal went south between 2 dealers. So I decided to just get the one SCA had with every single option available. The main reason why I had not came back is due to lack of exciting products. NSX is truly quite advanced and a lot more impressive looking in person.

His is Casino white with only CCB and tech package, my is 130R white with carbon roof, exterior, interior, engine bay, rear spoiler and rest of options available. All I can say is majority of reviews are so misleading, this is such a misunderstood car. I have to say Chris Harris is correct.

The interior is not on par for a $200k car, no soft close door, too quiet are only negative I can think of the car. It is essentially a baby P1, LaFerrari, 918. Honda/Acura certainly did not disappoint.

Awesome. Nice to hear your review! Which one do you think you'll be driving the most out of all your coupes?
 
It is too early for me to tell as I am still in honeymoon period with NSX. I include more pics and in depth review after I spend more time with it.
 
Good stuff. Congrats on your purchase. Enjoy it!

The new NSX is a great choice for people looking for something unique/different. Anyone who thinks it is not fast enough has not driven one!

Once you get a feel for it, I encourage you to try a couple of WOT pulls in "Track" mode (stability control is still active, just relaxed--- but completely safe in straight line)--- it's the only way to get a feel for the potential of the EV system, the ICE engine and the transmission.
 
Congrats to you and your business partner!
 
welcome back...
 
Congratulations!

I am looking forward to some compare/contrast relative to the 570S.

A frequent poster here has provided a lot of input regarding the 570S being a great choice.

Nice pair, I would love to hear more comparisons between the two over time
 
Welcome back. I was hoping you had a nice NA1 or 2 to come back to, but after seeing the rest of your stable, I guess there's no point of going back now.:biggrin: Nice ride.
 
Welcome back! I've been lucky enough to drive the 2.0 and felt the same way about all the negative reviews bc I really enjoyed it! Even though I'm an old school, "get off my lawn, I want a manual person".
 
Omg. Jason. Welcome back. Congratulations! So I guess we will keep the trend going and I will get your NC1 in 7 years?.......

Jason. Welcome back. You had a white with black roof 1st Gen if I remember correctly. Your previous nsx inspired me to get my current 05.
Glad to see some older members coming back to share their experiences good and bad. More Pics!!!
 
Welcome Back, I'm waiting for the laws of depreciation to take full effect so I can get into one too!
