Well it was indeed a sad day...let my 97 Viper go. Now I am on the hunt for one of my dream cars as a kid! Hope to join the community as a owner soon! Looking for a 95-01, preferably supercharged. Cheers!

Viper sold - on the hunt for a NSX!

How much did you sell for if you don't mind me asking?
43k - had 20,000 miles
Targa has chassis twist, more weight, and I'm not convinced that it's as safe as the coupe.

Just pick up a 3.0 liter (stronger engine) and stronger tranny (5 speed) and add the SOS SC to it.

it HAS to be a targa =) Targa at 100 mph is pure bliss
OK, how about the other items?
CTSC is just weak compared to the SOS SC.

I am open to that...CTSC just seems to have a lot of history on here and seems the reliability is amazing. Have not researched much on SOS SC. Thanks for the feedback
Autorotor/Kenne Belle is better than the Whipple/Lysholm Supercharger.
Both are Whipple positive displacement blowers.
The SOS SC is basically the same as the latest model CTSC that is based on the Autorotor, but the difference is that the Autorotor is a larger displacement blower.
I spin my rear tires loose from a roll with 285 wide Extreme rated tire when it's cold.
If you get the CTSC (knowing that you had a Viper) you will most likely experience buyers remorse for more low end TQ. SOS SC will deliver that.

Ive driven a 2000 CTSC and was very satisfied. Granted it was a short drive, but still enjoyed it. I am looking for other qualities in a car other then just HP/TQ. The Viper was a blast and had my fun with it, and not too concerned about a dip in power from a CTSC NSX. It's good to know that the SOS SC is an option to get the best of both worlds. How much does a SOS SC go for? It's tough enough to find a clean NSX for sale in my price range, let alone one with a SOS SC. I see a little more with a CTSC

I am in Orange County, CA. you?
There is NO hassle in the 2 times that I had to smog my NSX with SOS SC.
Passed the sniffer and visual.
Visually it looks identical to the latest CTSC.

For a few hundred $$$$ more you get much more blower.

Ctsc is bolt on and leave it vs. SOS sc is full aem and tuning.
This just popped up http://nsxprime.com/forum/showthread.php?t=178620
That looks good. It might be a little loud on the highway with the 4.23. The shorties are not bad at all. Personally I would still look for a na2 SC.

Zmoney: Can't wait to see you in an SC'ed NSX! Don't compromise and hold out for what you want - it'll be worth the wait. 
You may miss the Viper now, and part of you always will - but once you're in your very own SC'ed NSX driving down a nice road with the roof off, the shit-eating grin you'll have on your face will quickly wipe all worries away in an instant

Well said!! Thanks for everyone's feedback!
As an apparent newbie to the site, make sure you check out the NSX Wiki on this site (off the red action bar at the top of most pages). It has a section on Purchasing an NSX that might have useful information for you. The other good thing to do is to Google the VIN and see if any of the hits point to this site. There might be a wealth of information in previous posts. In the Modifying Your NSX section, there is also some info on FI options although some of it is not as current as the Forums.
I would stay away from the 95 model since it's the SLOWEST NSX (thanks to the first year OBD2).
define slowest.....
As in, not the fastest.
On a more serious note, I had problems with the OBD2 on the 95 with my old car. I would honestly look for 97.

I'm gonna be crapping on my own car but fair warning about the 1995 NSXs:
-first year to have targas, so they have occasionally squeaky and more finnicky than later years; my understanding is that this issue was fixed for all other years of targa NSX
-yes, 95/96 are the slowest; the extra weight of the targa and associated bracing but still stuck with the 3.0L motor
-95/96 also apparently tend to burn their O2 sensors out more frequently
-these years also force you to make some decisions regarding which exhaust setup to go for ~ commit to 97+ or 91-94
On the other hand, 95/96 are the only years that had Midnight Pearls and I believe most green NSXs were sold in these years as well. Y'know, if those colors are a real requirement for you.
Good luck with the search!
