    1999 Kaiser Silver/Onyx NSX-T, 6-sp, 37k miles, So Cal, #JH4NA2168XT000207

    I noticed that the sunlight is creating a lot of strange things on the interior, sorry about that but I have little to no experience in photography at all. Not sure about shipping, but if it were me I'd want to arrange it myself to ensure a proper carrier that meets my needs. I've never used...

    1999 Kaiser Silver/Onyx NSX-T, 6-sp, 37k miles, So Cal, #JH4NA2168XT000207

    Well the bug has bitten me again and after 3.5 years it's time to move on to another low-slung mid-engined sportscar... :biggrin: Going to be hard to see it go, so many good memories, but my 1999 Kaiser Silver/Onyx NSX-T is officially for sale. Thought I'd list it exclusively for fellow Prime...

    CAR Magazine says no more NSX, S2000, Type-R's, etc.

    Best, most coherent post in this whole thread by far. Nice Viper. The HSC is dead. The NSX II is dead. Don't care about RSX, S2000, or other lightweights and their futures. Life goes on. There's always FactorX as Viper pointed out. And with Porsche, Lambo, Ferrari, Chevy and Ford ALL...

    CAR Magazine says no more NSX, S2000, Type-R's, etc.

    I've never seen a car message board in such denial. You guys are right and everyone else is wrong. Me, Automobile, CAR, Road and Track, and every other source familiar with both the economics and market factors that Honda finds themselves chained to, are just dead wrong. There will certainly...

    Lamborghini Gallardo - THIS is the Next NSX

    The low nose on the Gallardo is a pain in the a$$. Far worse than the NSX in this regard. Luckily, several dealers have reported in the last few weeks that the Gallardo is slated to get the Murcielago's nose-raising system for MY2005. Also, the Gallardo's stock shock setup is a coil-over type...

    Lamborghini Gallardo - THIS is the Next NSX

    Oh no question, that's absolutely ture. However, since this is the NSX board, and NSX owners are a bit more hardcore than the average L-car owner, the question of daily driveability is more relevant. So I tailored my response a bit for this specific crowd. Hell there are Prime members who don't...

    Lamborghini Gallardo - THIS is the Next NSX

    Manuel, I've noticed you're posting more on L-talk, which is a good thing :) so I think it's worthwhile to write a followup piece to the one I originally wrote here regarding the Gallardo. Perhaps others are in the same boat. Where to begin...Let's start with the G and whether or not I bought...

    New Best Motoring: Gallardo vs all (NSX-R)

    Typical NSX owner, complete with the obligatory "chip on his shoulder" that comes from years of defending the car against a phantom enemy. I'm done with you MD, you're no better than the same C6 owners you're savaging in that other thread. Both groups are verrrrrry similar when faced not with...

    New Best Motoring: Gallardo vs all (NSX-R)

    I'm not going to debate with you, been there, done that on this board too many times to count. When you actually drive a Gallardo, or a Murci, you let me know. I've driven both, and I can tell from your "boat" reference that you're a typical biased NSX owner, living in the early 90s when the...

    New Best Motoring: Gallardo vs all (NSX-R)

    No question. But I want AWD and I want e-Gear for my next exotic. AWD because I'm bored with feathering the throttle on every 1st gear right turn, or sweating that there's gravel and/or an oil spot on every full acceleration 2nd gear freeway onramp sweeper. AWD in the Gallardo allows you to be...

    New Best Motoring: Gallardo vs all (NSX-R)

    Originally, after I first drove the Gallardo six months ago, I thought "whelp, bye bye NSX" and I couldn't wait to sell it. But now the nostalgia factor has come into play and I'd rather just keep it as I move up the exotic food chain. So much history and frankly "heritage" is in the car, it...

    New Best Motoring: Gallardo vs all (NSX-R)

    I rarely post over here anymore, but I have the DVD in question, and can offer some insight. I own a '99 Targa, and I've spent some considerable time behind the wheel of a Gallardo lately. To me it really is a "second generation NSX" with AWD and a 500HP V10. When I got out of it, I felt as if...

    No new NSX $40k car instead

    Just saw the F-chat link, haven't been here in weeks. The news, if it's true (and I believe it is) is nothing that should shock anyone who's followed my posts about the HSC. I've said many times that the deflation on the Yen, combined with Honda being under attack from all sides thanks to a...

    Frist drive of HONDA HSC!!

    I've given all the information that's relevant to the discussion and won't engage in endless debates about a car I'll likely never want to own. Conclusions can be drawn from the data I've presented, or cast aside as readers see fit. Honda won't likely be answering any of the questions we're...

    Frist drive of HONDA HSC!!

    You're right, the $1B figure isn't realistic. It's likely too low. A trip to the bookstore or library can go a long way in helping you see exactly the type of massive financial committment that new models incur on their creators. Even light facelifts, like the sort that added the new front and...

    Frist drive of HONDA HSC!!

    It will be very interesting to see how it plays out. Honda can't afford a mistake at this level. Again, we're talking about over a BILLION dollars of total development cost on the new car, from the very start to the first one rolling off the line. And that's being conservative. Toyota spent...

    Frist drive of HONDA HSC!!

    You're not off, but with larger displacement engines the low end power problems with VTEC are largely transparant. That's why honda has no plans for i-VTEC on any of the V6s, it's just not necessary. So the VTEC "lag" for lack of a better word, really only exists on the four cylinder models...

    Frist drive of HONDA HSC!!

    Hmmm, let me give you some more "What Ifs" since you seem so fond of them: What if the Yen plummeted versus the dollar over the 12 years since the first car's intro making profits scarce and "halo cars" twice as costly as 1991? What if every other manufacturer of sports cars upped their HP...

    Frist drive of HONDA HSC!!

    Yes and No. As I've indicated, even with Lexus there is a finite limit that Americans won't breach in paying for a Japanese car. That limit is $70k and not a penny more. As an example I pointed to the Lexus SC430, which is dying a harsh death. Also, the latest LS430's sales have been...

    Frist drive of HONDA HSC!!

    Wrong. The first two years of strong sales occurred only because US Car mags accurately called the NSX the second coming of Christ, and it became the IT sportscar to have...Briefly. It also didn't hurt that the two compeititors it went up against, the 348 and the 990 variant 911, didn't offer...
