Hi Mike, I’m in Danville. I have a few folks interested from a craigslist post I made, but I’d rather see them go on an NSX (they have Porsche’s which apparently take the same size). How about $700?

Pickup in the SF East Bay area. Tires have only 1,843 California winter miles on them and show next to no wear (I have lots of pics). I had them replaced today with Pilot Sport Cup 2's, as I plan on using the car for spirited track work.

Has anyone tapped into the power going to the mirror and installed a radar detector? If so, can you please share the wiring details? Thanks!

Stuntman, That's a lot to respond to - but a few points. 1. The NSX is not faster than the *capabilities* of a Viper ACR on most tracks - that was not the intent of my missive. In a straight line though - due to aero, the wicked fast 9 speed dual clutch, and the electric motor torque fill -...

How do you request access to the private forum?

I think the new NSX is a terrible investment - for investments sake. 1. It costs you money each year. Even if you barely drive it (as when you do, every mile decreases value), your still have to pay insurance, licensing and yearly maintenance and every few years - even if you're not driving on...

Nearly every car over $80K. Lexus, Mercedes, etc - all have much, much better systems.

What'd you put in it? I'm getting close to ripping mine out as well.

Snapped a few pics after the clear bra, vinyls and ceramic pro.

Just my .02 - I think the upgraded ELS is awful. My Gen 5 Viper had a much superior sound system, and most cars in this price range have much better audio systems.

Vipers I’ve owned: 97 GTS, 99ACR, 03 Vert twin turbo, ‘08 ACR, 15 GTS The NSX is faster than the viper from more than just a standing start - especially the ACR’s with the crazy aero, which really slow down at speeds north of 100. The Viper is lighter and has more HP/TQ than many cars it gets...

Honestly - they’re just not comparable cars in my opinion. The NSX is a car you could, and SHOULD drive and enjoy daily - and when YOU feel like it, turn a knob and enter jet fighter mode. The 458 is not as easy to live with, doesn’t feel as fast (and it isn’t), but makes some really magical...

I’ve had five vipers - so every incarnation save for the GTS-R. This NSX replaced a gunmetal pearl 2015 Viper GTS. Great driving car, but simply miserable in traffic, around town - on backroads with any toughness to the roads, or when the weather is less than 60 degrees as the tires simply...

Thanks! I have some more thoughts I’ve been collating and will update in a week or two as I get more wheel time with the car. Overall, I’m extremely impressed. Acura hit the nail on the head with this one. The launch control is also tremendous fun and due to the initial hard launch being all...

No - I’m saying it has a superb ride compare to its competitors.
