    That color looks so good on the NSX

      Rio Yellow looks absolutely brilliant on the NSX

    This car is so tastefully done. Plenty of power without being ludicrous, looks just right, and sounds perfect. Much want.

      True, It’s all tasteful but I’m up to make something that will make old men at Monaco weep tears.
      A pure bred SpeedNSX, a absolute no nonsense car, using that reliable engine no billet this or that.
      The NSX engine at JGTC made about 500hp at 3.5 liters, which is awesome because that V6 sounds wonderful and of course reliable compared to any other V6.
      So all carbon, because aluminum is great however with AI designed parts (Czinger style) we can save a lot of weight whilst having ton of strength.

    As a cyclist and car enthusiast, I just want to thank you on behalf of cyclist for giving space on passes. Getting buzzed by cars sucks.

      Of course! The idea of being out for a drive and just murdering someone with a car sounds like a shitty day for me too

      +ColoradoNative I agree I'm a cyclist and I have so much sand in my vagina that I build sandcastles out of it. I realized that all of my bike rides were making me turn into a woman so I bought a crotch rocket and now I have the biggest cock ever! thank you and I love you! and that's not the vagina talking.

    So much better than the new one, imo.

    • @BigZman95
      @BigZman95 8 років тому +23

      +Michael Felchlin And the old one has more driver involvement. Tech goes both ways like that.

    • @1MotoXRacer1
      @1MotoXRacer1 8 років тому +12

      I have more fun in an '05 V6 sedan than most people do in their brand new cars. Throttle cable, no ABS, no traction control, lightweight. Fuck the tech. This NSX is pure driver experience that you can not find easily anymore, which is very sad.

    • @charles125
      @charles125 8 років тому +11

      +Michael Felchlin Of course its slower lol, the car is 150k, any car that expensive should be faster. But the NSX was always supposed to be an affordable "supercar". This new one isn't even an NSX anymore

    • @charles125
      @charles125 8 років тому +7

      +Michael Felchlin Theyre collectors cars, of course they'll retain value. Its not about the bargain, yea its a good bargain, but its about the price. 1991 NSX started at $60k, by 2004 it was $90k. It should've stayed RWD with a stick-shift transmission IMO.

    • @BigZman95
      @BigZman95 8 років тому +5

      +Michael Felchlin And I don't doubt that it is. But all these new cars that are full of tech have limited driver involvement, which is why so many people love a car like this.

  • @Patrick94GSR
    @Patrick94GSR 8 років тому +21

    My gosh man, this car is 25 years old and still looks damn amazing! You can put antique plates on it and never have to pay registration ever again!

    • @ChiTownRuler023
      @ChiTownRuler023 8 років тому +3

      Not sure how Cali does it but antique plates only allow you to drive to and from car shows. If you want to daily an antique you would need regular plates.

    • @TheAlexBradley
      @TheAlexBradley 8 років тому +3

      +ChiTownRuler023 how could they enforce that? If you get pulled over you could just say you're going to a car show.

    • @Patrick94GSR
      @Patrick94GSR 8 років тому

      In MS and TN also I believe, the antique car plate can be used on any private vehicle 25 years old or older, for any use, and costs a one-time fee of $25 with no renewal required.

    • @ChiTownRuler023
      @ChiTownRuler023 8 років тому +1

      +AlexBFresh They will just give you a ticket and tell you to get regular plates.

    The overall shape of the first generation NSX is so damn sexy. It has more of a low and wide, long and lean look to it compared to the 2017 NSX. The 2017 somehow looks a little more stubby and stout (looking at it from the side). Something about the 2017's proportions and lines make it look taller and chunkier than it really is, which is no bueno in my opinion. Still a cool car though; don't get me wrong.

    This seems like an awesome tune - done for an adult. Adds some power but nothing that the car can't handle + the exhaust is befitting of a super car. The interior upgrade is also tasty. I wish the new nsx was more in this vein. Something about lightweight momentum building cars like this that are just awesome.

      S2000 is probably more fun unless you do NSX Type R mods to the NSX. :) Given the regular model NSX is a bit more of a cruiser whereas the S2000 is more frantic.

    • @alphazoomii9408
      @alphazoomii9408 7 років тому +3

      The NSX drives far better than the S2000, I've driven both. The S2000 I drove felt like a very solid rough ride and the NSX drove like a nice car with great handling and some nice speed. I'd choose NSX over it if I had money.

    • @TheSmokingTire
      @TheSmokingTire  8 років тому +18

      That's a complete misrepresentation of why I'm annoyed. This road is single lane with no passing for like 15 miles. If you want to drive slow, go right ahead, but proper canyon etiquette dictates using any of the dozens of turnouts to pull off and let faster traffic by.

    • @07wrxtr1
      @07wrxtr1 8 років тому +2

      Try driving here in Oregon. People here insist on going 5-10mph under, and refuse to accelerate when getting onto a freeway; Then they bitch when people pass them: "hey man, that's aggressive" I blame the weed/prescription meds/distracted driving/drive by wire/unimaginative (I know nothing about tires but I know EVERYTHING about foreign policy) all season tire choices. They can google/research everything but when it comes to car stuff...nothing. The same morons speed in parking lots, fail to come to a complete stop in residential neighborhoods, fail to pick the correct turning radius in big intersections only to over correct by going into your lane (left hand into two lanes, they'll turn into the farthest lane because they cut the apex to early). They drive fast in dangerous places / slow in places where it's safe to go fast. They're also indecisive and slow to react, then overreact when you actually pass them. They keep the same following distance at 10 through 60mph, as if they have F1 style brakes. The cops are the worst: NONE when it's raining/actually dangerous, but once we actually luck out with some sun up here, they're out issuing as many chicken shit tickets as humanly possible. I've honestly thought it would be fun to PAY some of these people just to ride passenger in their own car, on cruise control at 60mph and show them that the world isn't going to come to an end by taking a few corners on the way to the beach that the radius's are engineered to be safe at 80mph in good conditions. God forbid they experience any lateral g's, the world will end and no more free range minority rescue organic grass fed recycled free trade latte's would survive. We really need to go back to mandatory track / driving lessons. And one other thing: Why is it SO difficult for people to actually move forward when the guy in front moves forward on the green light? Why the "I must do nothing until two car lengths have been established first, so fewer people get through the light" attitude. And while we're at it. You CAN turn RIGHT on a red light in Oregon, IF the idiot in front of you moves over to the left and you can get by without leaving the pavement, it's 100% legal.

    • @Strategic_Mover
      @Strategic_Mover 8 років тому +1

      It's almost the exact same way in Atlanta man! All but the rain issue you have there. I've been trying to explain all of this to my girlfriend especially the part about cornering, we all drive modern day cars we don't need to drop our speed by 20mph on wider corners... And don't get me started on speeding up to get on the freeway, they think the people already on have to slow down for them... Anyway I feel like we could reduce our traffic (not sure if you've heard about our traffic in ATL) some if people knew these things, and I honestly feel like people (here at least) should have to take a class every few years.

      @07wrxtr1 8 років тому

      Well if it's open road and the guy behind me is actually faster, I pull over, let him pass and life is good. Why is it that people cannot get this? I'm now to the point I just pull over and let the tailgating morons pass (then they all act puzzled about the rock chips)...open up some free road and then enjoy a few corners. I often wonder what they think when they see me pull over, only to catch up again, only to pull over.... while they go on with their dog hair infested "Why wash it when it's just going to rain again?" attitude. These are the same idiots: "wow that's a nice car" yeah. It's real difficult to wash a car, garage a car, not tailgate, and not go to places that have the lowest common denominator parking. Off topic: Why are skinny chics always out jogging but never the fat chic that SHOULD be?
