    I've been in love with both vehicles! And the NSX in Yellow is the color I'd want. The LC in Nori Green with bronze wheels is beautiful as well.

    I've owned an indy yellow 2020 for the last 4 years, but indy + orchid interior is totally how I would have speced mine if i could, theres 3 in the US in this combo (1 in 20, 2 in 21). Also the car really needs a set of downpipes will especially help with low speed fun, the factory exhaust is essentially a valved straight pipe only thing bottling it up are the factory dps. And yeah, oem oil is an acura full syn 0w-40

    • @RichWithCars
      @RichWithCars  2 дні тому +2

      Totally agree on the downpipe. I've reviewed another friend's NSX who modded his with downpipes and sounds way better than OEM. You could check it out here:

    • @philhenderson3516
      @philhenderson3516 5 годин тому

      Dumb move if you ask me. The LC is MUCH MORE car than the NSX and with much better materials and build quality. Yes, the NSX is faster but it's also guaranteed to become a maintenance nightmare once all the hybrid gadgetry goes bust. The LC is also a TRUE Japanese car, fully assembled in Japan unlike the NSX. But hey, if you like the NSX more power to you I guess.
