Yes, I echo that sentiment as well. In addition, Powdbyrice has contributed a lot of useful info to this board. Definitely go with him on your new NSX instead of with the Roseville dealership.

The i8 is actually wider than the NC1, but you’re right, the NC1 is lower than the i8 by almost 3 inches. Speaking of the i8, there are many attributes to like about that car. While many NC1 owners like to say that the NC1 introduced the hybrid technology to this price point (ie, entry...

Nice writeup...Out of curiosity, why did you opt for this particular car over a new one, such as Niello's? That one is advertised for just a few thousand more, and you can surely squeeze a slightly bigger discount on that.

Someone in FL (Claude) also has this VR tune box along with a couple of other mods (exhaust, water/meth) and is trapping 130+ mph in the 1/4 mile. Those are quite significant gains.

Cayman isn't slow if you're coming from an NA1/NA2. On the contrary, it would be a rocket ship. Even the top of the line Civic would be considered fast. lol

Thank you, Vic! This is extremely positive feedback. Knowing how well the M5 and E63s respond to piggyback tunes, the NSX gains must be very good with the VR. The biggest measure of gains will be how well the car does against a stock one on the street/track, or even by VBox measurements...

Piano is in Canada, so I think he meant 4700CAD.

BTW, kudos to Vivid for coming out with this. There have been talks about tunes being in the works by a few companies for many many months, yet no release dates (keeping everyone in suspense). Vivid came out of nowhere, surprised everyone, and was first to market with their solution for the...

Great news Vic! Can't wait to hear your impressions on this piggyback tune.

OP, great find! Wouldn't have thought they were talking about a Type R just by browsing and looking at that stock NSX picture.

^^that looks great (pair of NSXs in the showroom floor)!

^^very nice...Is the white one still there?

I hope JJ Dubec is ok with me sharing this pic here, but we do have a guinea pig for the piggyback tune. :)

Yes, this is great stuff. Looks like they upped their gains slightly from their initial announcement. Only downside is the price tag, but given that the NSX market is extremely small and the piggyback tune has just been announced (and first to market), it's sort of justifiable. And if those...

Sounds good Vic! Here is a screenshot of the FB post from Tunerwerks: There is also another one from Hydramotorworks...In the meantime, we've been told to be patient. Will keep you updated...

There are a few tunes that are rumored to be around the corner. I think you may have just joined the FB group, so you can read all about them. In any case, there are supposedly tunes from Tunerwerks GmbH and Hydra motorwerks. Fabspeed's is still in progress as well as a few others. As for...

Thanks for taking the time to write up your thoughts on the car! With regards to the above, the fact that the NSX electric motors shut down at about 120mph (essentially making it a 500hp car), doesn't help with it's top end. Hopefully, with the long-awaited tune this should be alleviated...

The inverted Acura symbol caught my eye. For a moment I was thinking that it was Vic's car.

Welcome and congrats on the new car! Please post pics when you get a chance.

Looking good! I also noticed you got the exhaust surrounding blacked out. Unless you're close to the car, you can no longer tell whether your car has the exterior CF package or not (especially in pics).

That's truly sad. Is that why there was a $10k ADM tag on your dealership's NSX not too long ago? Talk about turning potential buyers away...Oh well, at least it's nice eye candy for people to look at when they come in to buy the other Acura models (and it's not behind ropes.) :)

Congrats again! With regards to mods: 1) +1. 2) +1. 3) +1. I would strongly consider the iLift system, as this would lower and raise your car as needed. I wish the car had this option from the factory. 4) +1. Also, there's rumor that a tune is around the corner, but no specs/timeframe are...

Hey Vic, Quite a surprise that you ended up with an NSX! It's awesome to have such a knowledgeable guy like you join these boards, but don't forget to join the FB owners group as well. In any case, it would be great to have your input on how the NSX compares to other cars in your stable...

NSX vs. Huracan...Yeah, that slow POS NC1 NSX...:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=il8CCSPYpSk

+1 for the tune!
