I've always said this car is the perfect street/track hybrid NSX. If you are looking for a nearly perfect stock early NSX garage queen, this is not your car. However, if you're looking for a car that is set up to humiliate all your friends at the race track yet is a completely unique NSX that's still very clean and beautiful, comfortable, relatively compliant and fully street-able, then you've likely found it!
This is no ordinary NSX...You hear it as soon as the engine fires and you feel it as soon as it starts rolling. I bought this car new in May of 1992 and have thoroughly babied it for 23 years (e.g., always garaged, it's never once been driven during cold weather months, roughly November-April) - but let's be clear: these cars were meant to be driven just like Porsches and Ferraris - and this one has. Having said that, it still only has 47450 miles on the chassis and only about 10000 miles on its 3.2 liter engine. That's right, this is a '92 with a 3.2 NA Comptech-refreshed engine which I finally dropped in in 2007 after spending lots of money over several years dabbling in forced induction. Since then, it's been completely reliable and an absolute beast on the race track. To be clear, this car has never been raced competitively - only run in Lapping Day events and DEs - and never been over-revved or crashed on the track. So why am I selling it? Because I just don't get it out very much anymore; I only drove it around town 4-5 days this summer (I never take it out if it looks like it's going to rain!) and had it on the track twice, including NSXpo. The truth is, I would like to see it go to someone as passionate about high performance driving as I am, but regardless, it will be very difficult to part ways with it, and if it doesn't happen, I'll be just as happy to keep it.
It has one incident in its history, summer of 1992: spun rear end into barbed wire fence on side of road. The only structural damage was a slightly bent tie rod and steering rack which was unusual since there was no lateral impact to the front end (only from edge of pavement underneath). Contact with barbed wire caused the engine hatch glass to break along with some cosmetic body damage. Complete repair. No frame or suspension damage (all points were laser measured on frame rack), the tie rod and steering rack were replaced and the car has driven perfectly since.
As I indicated, this car is really set up well for the track, particularly in its suspension and airflow breathability. It is extremely tight and responsive. I haven't found any NA NSXs that will beat it and there are many FI NSXs that cannot keep up with it (especially through the turns). Feel free to verify this claim with NSXpo 2015 track event attendees, including TitaniumDave Levy who drove it one session (or Peter Cunningham, who also drove it - if you can get in touch with him!). If you live near Denver (or are willing to come out) and you can convince me that you are a very serious buyer, you are welcome to try it out for yourself at High Plains Raceway, where it has run a fast lap of 1:59. For those wishing to upgrade to FI, this car would be an ideal candidate for either a bolt-on system or a complete build, as the heads and intake manifold have already been ported and polished.
There is one known deficiency: the TCS fails under extreme g-loading at the race track if it's not turned off first. I am told that the TCS relay is the cause, but because it functions properly under normal slippery driving conditions (i.e., short of race slick level g-loading) and because I always turn it off at the track, I haven't bothered to replace it.
As for its "street cred", as I said it's been babied - just ask my ex-wife
. Always regularly maintained by Chris Wayland (arguably the best factory NSX technician in the country), I have all maintenance records since delivery. All controls function properly. It was completely re-painted in Dec. '09 in a beautiful "Midnight Pearl" black. This color appears completely black until in direct sunlight, whereupon it shows a very subtle, mostly blue (but with a hint of purple) metallic accent - hence the "midnight".
Details and modifications follow. Note that all items listed under 1-8 below are included in the price of the car (this includes all OEM parts in my garage), while the specific parts listed in 9. Aftermarket/Track Parts (AEM, turbocharger, etc.) would be negotiated extra. I would prefer to sell both the car and the open trailer that I had built for it and used to haul it to 7 or 8 NSXpos as a package, but will consider selling them separately as well. Trailer offered separately at $6500; Package price for trailer (when purchased with car): $5,500.
