I agree with them that it's hard to say whether the supercharger contributed to the added value.
One thing I can say, though, is that the Comptech upgrades were never "factory authorized." Honda in Japan certainly did not have anything to do with those upgrades. The program may have reached the level of Acura corporate in the USA, but ultimately dealers making those upgrades and maintaining the warranty were choosing to cover the cars themselves, as the actual Honda engine warranty was definitely void with the supercharger installed.
I hope whoever bought the car didn't do so under the false pretense of having a factory authorized supercharged NSX, as that simply doesn't exist.

A similar program with authorized Honda dealers was offered with the S2000.

Yes, but Acura corporate in the USA is not the "factory." I take issue with the car's supercharger being misrepresented by the auction house as factory authorized. That's a good piece of info though, I didn't know Acura corporate paid for the warranties.
That being said, there are plenty of cars from the past with dealer-level modifications that are extremely prized today. Look at Yenko Camaros, for instance.

It is only one data point so it is hard to know but I sure hope the answer is yes.
Limited sample size as Bubbadog mentions but I too strongly vote yes.
I drove my 1991 low boost CTSC NSX this weekend and its was reliable and fast...so the value went up (for me).
Where's the damn "like" button on this site?

But its good for my disposition...over 100,000 miles and gaining!
You drove the car? I wouldn't recommend that, that's bad for value.
I'm almost 2000 miles from home right now with my low boost 95 and its value has never been higher (to me)!

I really think the NSX values will continue to move upward as the rest of the Japanese sports car market moves up as well. The people can't afford the high prices of the European cars any longer and they hit their high market value already and are coming back to earth. The NSX 's are the best of what the Japanese market ever offered , they will lead the increase in values. I have 5 now and am trying to buy more everyday. At Mecum last month in Monterrey ,a 2005 with 4,000 miles got up to $125,000
( with premium $137,500 ) and the seller wouldn't lift the reserve, and took the car home. I think he was wrong, but the fact that someone offered that at an auction says a lot. I live in Arizona and the January Scottsdale auctions are all looking and asking for NSX's . The one thing that helps with the value is simply supply and demand. So few for sale and so very few all stock clean low mileage good cars. Luigi

He wasn't wrong. The same car sold at Auctions America for $144k.
Pics of your 5 (!) NSX???
You know what they say.......... pictures or it didn't happen. Post some pictures of your NSX's Luigi.
Now, at least one Japanese car has leveled off price wise after a meteoric rise in value.

Awesome to see you living the collector car dream. Given your posts, you seem to be doing this for the investment. Therefore, a couple of the cars puzzled me. Chrysler Crossfire? Two Toyota MR2's?
That makes more sense. Again, I think its great that you have found the space and time to find them and house them. So an MR2 Spider is an orphan in your eyes because it isn't produced any more?
I've made much worse decisions...
Plus I have determined that I am an "enthusiast" not a "collector".
