Go get her, Tiger.  ETA - after watching the whole video I wonder how the internal airflow would affect cars behind it on the track, and also what kind of wind noise the driver would hear at speed. For those who don't want to watch the video, the designers took great pains to route air through the body of the car, dumping it at various points along the body, including a wide vent at the rear deck lid that contributes heavily to downforce (the spoiler is not necessary, and is optional.) |

I went to the first track test here in the US for the GT3 version, I'm helping develop it for the IMSA and PWC series. |

They tried to make it too many things to too many people, and they FUCKED it up.
 The original NSX was hands-down, the most fun that I've ever had on a race track, because it just felt right. The engine felt right, the gearbox felt right, the traction levels felt right. It was just RIGHT. The only other car that was nearly as fun was a Ferrari F40, but I wasn't allowed to take that anywhere near to the limits of the car that I was able to do with the NSX (People don't like seeing their million dollar cars thrashed). Now they made another fat, bloated, over-computered stupercar in the vain of everything else that comes out these days, and they put an NSX badge on it. It's not an NSX. |

It's a slick looking car, but for the price there are better options IMO. A ZO6/7 or GTR would be about 60% of the price and offer plenty of performance. But with the NSX you get dat MPG doe.

I had a visual on these in late Feb while staying in Palm Springs CA for a week.
The Palm Springs Ritz had a small Acura meeting while I was there. They looked like execs. Each day they were doing photo ops with these cars. Each morning about 6-7 would roll up and sit in the side private parking lot area. They had no issues with us looking at the cars. They were cool, not my style but they were nice. |
