Thank you sir!
"In model years 1991-1996, each NSX had a serial number that was unique within that year's US market production. Model years 1997-2005 used separate series for manual and automatic cars, with each series starting at 000001. Furthermore, 2004 NSX production was split between two plants (Tochigi and Suzuka); 2004 VINs used four separate series: "
So I'm reading this as for my car #16, there are 14 other #16 NSXs?
I'm reading that right, right?

I just read that wiki and it said the first one sold in the US had serial number of 063. Do we know who owns that car?
If you knew the check digit and the tranny, you could almost just find the car.
If it were a manual, something like:
JH4NA115#MT000063, where # has to be 0-9 or X.
Something like that.

You're welcome, sir!
More than 14 others (there were multiple #16s in a few model years), and that's just in the US market.
Yup. In later years there were duplicates between the sequence for manual transmission cars and the one for automatic transmission cars. And in the year they moved production from Tochigi to Suzuka, there were up to four duplicates (one for each plant, and one for each transmission). In early years, the sequence number was unique, because they used the same sequence for both transmissions.
When you go beyond the United States market, you add duplicates, and you may have different rules. For example, Canada's rules generally follow the ones in the States (other than the 8 for their 12th character) but they have their own range, which can add duplicates if you're not counting the 12th character as making it unique. In Europe, unlike North America, they don't designate the model year in the 10th character, so they don't restart the sequence at 000001 at the start of each model year.
