    No talk about the PURE900 turbo upgrade?

    I thought we’d see E85 well sorted before bigger turbos. But I wouldn’t do it given need of frequent, costly oil changes and the small fuel tank.

    How an M4 made me decide against an R8 (for now)...and brought me back to the NSX.

    Having had a V10 in an Audi S6, and a Gallardo, I don’t miss the sound. One exception might be the throttle blip on downshift in the latter. I would, however look to a modern turbo S to get a backseat and be back under warranty, as well as a little better steering feel and acceleration… shame...

    For Anyone Bitching About the Engine Sound on the NSX

    Loud or quiet compared to what? Sport mode will get attention from underpaid guys in uniform. I particularly like the resonant gong on upshift. Sure it’s no 458…but stealthy torque is also fun.

    Interested in buying an NSX Type S

    I haven’t driven one, but I suspect the different gear ratios for the front motors and a newer battery are going to be big steps forward here

    Interested in buying an NSX Type S

    The audio in my 17 doesn’t suit me and I’m getting weary of the ceramic brake feel in my dirty cold climate. Paint is dull. Sucks having one of they best cars and no way to trade up ;)

    Interested in buying an NSX Type S

    I’m thinking of upgrading my 2017 NSX to a type S as I am not sure I can stomach another 911 and don’t love my current options package. Wife not pleased I’d be in twice as deep though (paid 140).

    Covid Vaccine

    Pfizer series, then bivalent booster when it first came out. Nothing since. I developed peripheral neuropathy interestingly a couple months before covid hit the news. One suspicious illness during which I didn’t get tested. One close exposure and tested neg. Enough kids back to school virions...

    Why is Acura Canada not offering extended warranty or CPO for the NSX?

    Keeping mine past warranty. Delightful so far. Bit of longing for a new turbo s but poor value high depreciation and deafening chop on our winter roads.

    Who is keeping car after warranty up?

    Keeping mine. 2017. Just incredible so far. Driving in WI winter but not daily. Bit of longing for a new turbo s but I’d be trading it for the next new thing at great depreciation and poor initial value.

    New Z06 travels 53 miles before engine dies

    Porsche dynod their mezger blocks to 105% of rated power. I guess if it only pulled 104 they’d toss it back in the pond. Completely out of character IMO. They’d sell a steering wheel made of twizzlers if it could pass NTSB import.

    McLaren Artura

    Tech old in concept, possible on design sheets in 2015, still new to the public. And ours was introduced long before McLaren dared. The pertinent question is, what could Honda do clean sheet two years from today? Folks on the McLaren forum will admit to quality issues similar to Ferrari of 20...

    Upgrading our NC1s

    I see. It seems they are years ahead of some manufacturers.and There is doing it versus perfecting it.

    Upgrading our NC1s

    Apology if I missed this thought above — the simple upgrade for all GEN 2 is battery and timing/degree of engagement. So ECU and one piece of hardware. At near equal weight, what can a battery of today do versus one from 8-10 years ago? And wouldn’t Honda like the foreshadow their third...
