    I am blessed to be the original owner of a '91 black/black. Mine is completely stock except for some cosmetic details that can be easily reversed. EVERY time I drive it, I cannot believe it's 32 years old. Just today, on my way back from the hardware store, I found a new favourite curve where the VTEC kicks and the grade of the road dips a bit and I am shot out of that curve into heaven. I had an ice cold Coke in one hand and some tunes testing out my new subwoofer and I could not stop myself from letting out a yelp of delight. It can bring a man to tears. Every time I drive it, I wonder what I did in this life (or any past lives) to deserve this car. I bought it not knowing how special it would be or how it would become THE most consistent and reliable thing in my life. It has been at my side waiting patiently to be driven again and again, never complaining when I don't have the time for it. For those who have never driven one, it's impossible to explain how good this car is. There are no words that adequately convey how it feels.

      Listen, there is no way to adequately express how I feel about your comment. "yelp of delight", "bring a man to tears" and your gratefulness. I get it and I love it. I remember seeing my first NSX when I was a Courtesy Clerk at a grocery store, I felt an emotion that I could only convey as a mild boner when looking at it. It was in 1992, the car was black and the rear tires were bald. I have had the opportunity to drive a bunch of really cool cars in my life but I have never even sat in an NSX. Amazing. I hope you find many more favourite curves and keep getting that feeling I had when I was a teenager in 1992.

    I might be a bit biased but I’d have to agree with Frank on the 90’s being the best decade for cars! Prabhul your videos just keep getting better and better. Absolutely excellent.

    I had several exotics. The reliability of my 91 nsx surpassed any other car ive seen. I pull next to lambos at car shows and people come running up to take pictures. The best sports car i ever had. The car is timeless. every exotic i owned broke down .

    Putting aside what looked like a CRX 😉😂, that Honda Civic SI literally spoiled us back in the day. We had no idea how good we had it. It may sound crazy, but even stepping into a Ferrari F430 you’re immediately reminded of the seating position and specifically the location of your feet (the position of the shifter was amazing too) as well as the view through the windshield of nothing but sky and asphalt, no hood or other distractions. I don’t care if it sounds silly, that car had racing DNA and you could feel it even if you couldn’t put it into words as a 16-year old kid.

      ⁠@@thedevthingit’s happening they got the new civic type R and integra type S and they still selling the NSX Type S say what you want about that car but for the money and all the technology, the Hybrid Systems on this car,compared to a Mclaren P1 ,La Ferrari and Porsche 918 it’s a F’n steal,and don’t tell me about “but it’s a Honda”please..People say that cause they ain’t a car guy and don’t know nothing about Motorsports F1,Ayrton Senna,Indy ,MotoGP ,IMSA , The most dominant engine,etc..don’t know shit what Honda stands for ,their History Honda=Racing just like Ferrari early days,except Ferrari don’t make JET PLANES..yes they make award winning Airplanes too,name me a car Company that does that present?.Before they ever start making Econo cars they were Racers..and even if i can afford those so called the “holy trinity “,i will take the Honda NSX all day..

      @@WEILMAN_11 I think they make great cars also. The NSX is beautiful. For me I care about a raw driving experience with a manual and the sounds of an NA motor.
      If Honda would release a S2K successor, that offers a manual with RWD with 300+ HP , it would be a game changer. More accessible to enthusiasts. 😀

    What is this sillyness? He says that the Honda badge was on right hand drive cars? What do we say European NSX owners in whole Europe??????? There other countries in Europe aside from England that has left hand drive NSX-es originally with the Honda badge. Typical American Smart Ass guy. Everything comes from the US? :DDDDDDDDDDDDD
