I am sure they said that based on the data when the first ones came out in 1991. The super soft Yokohama combined with the aggressive alignment settings from the factory had tires in the trash very quickly...like 5,000 miles quickly.

I will not get into a car as an instructor where I can not be provided the exact same or better safety equipment as the driver. I use the R3.

I have had a lot of V8's in my day. The sweet sound they make is from the exhaust. I think the beauty of these cars is the actual sound from the engine/intake. If I really wanted to enhance my own experience, I would go with the induction side coupled with a nice cat-back. I would think...

It totally depends on what happend during the model runs. Early Trans Am's are worth way more than the last of the last. Typically technology, styling, power, etc grow and progress to a point where later versions can be worth more - but only if there is something significantly different or...

I think the values are still based on how 'new' they are not so much on how 'desirable' they are for the NSX. If I could piece my favorite 'model' together it would be a pop up headlight coupe with body colored roof, mid run 17/18" wheels and the 3.2 with the 5 speed. As far as values, the...

If you want your car to sound like a race car, you need race car parts. Those cars rev like that because internally they are all exotic stuff. Couple 12K revs with no real muffling and you have that. It's not street car stuff.

Fresh out of the 'drove it home from Ohio road-trip' detailing and headed into the garage for the rest of the winter. I love this car.

What is the written warranty on the shocks? It's a tough call either way here...making a warranty claim 14 months after purchase is probably out of policy. I agree on the pictures. Can't hurt in any dispute.

Yes. The seller pays BJ 8% on no-reserve auctions if memory serves. This auction is all no-reserve because of it's popularity. So on that $56K sale: BJ collects $5,600 from the buyer and $4,480 from the seller. The seller only netting out $51,520 minus costs to get it there and prep it for...

And she's home.

Thanks guys!

I pulled this off a YouTube vid and I can't quite figure out what they are but they hit the nail on the head for me in terms of fit and looks. Thanks Prime!

When I do wheels I won't go so flush but this combo looks really hot. Nice job. So tough to find something that looks good on the front.

And another good realization is that Billy's (insert local hot-shoe) 10/10ths is simply not everyone's 10/10ths. The best way to get better is to combine seat time (practice) with data review or hot-shoe review. Discussions on a corner-by-corner basis, braking points, braking strength, car...

It's almost subconscious. Add in a ton of seat time and ZERO fear of losing what you are driving to a total loss, and you can have a 10/10ths lap. I have run years of Club Racing with the SCCA in the Northeast. I hold track records at Lime Rock and NHMS. I have run under the track records at...
