Hi Mike. You've had so many NSXs that you've forgotten at least one other that you owned. wink

How do they compared to a period Ferrari (355) today?

Mike's yellow NSX is incredible in the flesh, when he has a customer in for a detail he gives them a lift home in it! Either that or the CSL....

If it is a 2002 car and owner bought it in 2014, how does he know it's on the original clutch?

Surely it could have been changed and the receipt is not in the Service History etc? Not everyone keeps every receipt for a 13 year old car?
Because the gearbox has never been opened and it went to the guy who helped design the Nsx for a full checkup

Thanks all,

happy to take anyone for an NSX experience if you have never been in one, truly amazing cars.
Honda didn't help by giving out an automatic model as their press car for tests, not that we
want to get into a auto vs manual debate but come on.....
The manual box is amazing, something Chris harris once said...

he would buy a 991 GT3 for the engine, but an NSX for a proper gear shift.

I can't think of a single car, at any price, that the more I read about it, the more I want it - and I've wanted an NSX for as long as I care to remember.

James, I realise that the comparison I'm about to ask you make is a daft one, but humour me smile

How does the DC5 compare to the NSX?

Well done that man - lovely example.

Finally an NSX thread mentioning Mr. Button and not Mr. Senna?



Oh böllöcks...

He had a yellow one first and then a blue one...blue one pictures above was his. He recently said in Dream magazine he wants to buy it back!

Two totally different cars but both have their place. The Nsx is comfortable and smooth, Dc5 is harsh and you feel like just redlining it all the time. I have had the DC5 5 years though and couldn't part with it however, something GT3 like about it in a weird kind of way, even being FWD it behaves like a RWD sometimes through high speed bends. Heading home from an outing I would drive past my house if I'm in the Nsx just to keep going....I would park the DC5 up to make a cup of tea and chill

Honda puts yellow spots of paint on the bolts to show they've been torqued. You can tell if the bolts have been moved if the paint has flaked/become misaligned.
