    The first gen NSX will always be my favorite. I still remember the first time I layed eyes on one in the showroom. It was truly automobile love at first sight. I still remember buying every magazine at the time that featured this truly game changing exotic car, and all the accolades it received. Back then, Honda/Acura and Mazda realized the handling benefits of a lighter mass vehicle. The 2nd gen NSX strayed drastically from that formula, but I will argue, even the 2nd gen NSX was truly a car engineered before it's time. Outstanding tribute of a truly special car, thanks Kevin.

      That must have been pretty sweet to own this car when it was new very happy for your friend. Yea it was def expensive even back then, Vettes and Vipers were literally half the money so you really had to appreciate this for what it was.

      I was standing next to him after looking at it, no test driving allowed, and when he looked over at me and said , and back to the saleman and said I'll take it, I remember it being what I paid for my house. He is gone now, but I appreciate the memory you brought out, you are the best.

    Timeless beauty that looks better than anything built today short of something out of Maranello. A pure analog man-machine driving experience that can't be found in todays computer nannied supercars. Build quality and reliability you could only get in a hand built Honda. Rare enough that seeing an unmolested original in the wild is a special treat. Hands-down one of the best things ever to come out of Japan.

    I brought my first car at 19 (2003) … I wish I would had chose this but then again, I would had modified the hell out of it and ruined it, had I been mature I would had got one of these and kept it bone stock and would be enjoying it today. A absolutely lovely vehicle.

    My NSX has been a dream to own for the last 3 years. No issues whatsoever. Just a beautiful, solid, well engineered piece of machinery. Part availability has started to become an issue, so I have spent a small fortune stock piling whatever I can get my hands on, either for resale later on, or for use if something ever fails.

      Yep there’s a reason why nobody buys this stuff when they’re new. Vettes and Vipers were half the price of this when new. RX-7 & Supras we’re just sitting in the showroom floor like a diecast toy. Lot of idolatry and worshipping but not enough people contributing to new car sales and they wonder why companies don’t make cool cars 🤦‍♂️

    Did you notice how on the left hand drive car the handbrake lever is on the right side of the gear stick? That's because that's the correct layout for a right hand drive car, as they were retro fitted as left hand drive from right hand drive. Not sure if that changed over the life of the car but all the cars in the video show it that way.

      @@MeynMotorGroup hard to answer it but let me try .. if a car-dealership is not discounting a vehicle or don’t have more than 1-2 in stock for weeks/months than the car is in high demand plus it is in very short supply .. factory won’t build more GTR’s and dealers won’t sell it at MSRP so price keeps going up .. can’t buy one for MSRP and dealers are happy to mark it up over $10k-$50k and sit on them until someone pays for it.

    • @MeynMotorGroup

      It’s very simple my friend: it’s the sales figures.
      From 2008 to 2021, a GTR sold 13,000 units.
      This NSX sold 9000 units from 91-05.
      A Porsche 911 sells 10,000 units every year.
      They need to milk as much profit out of the small niche Japanese sports car buying market since these cars have absolutely no prestige or societal value.
      There is a small determined group that fails to educate themselves about warranties and leasing that contribute to the small sales figures of these cars.
      They tried to price them cheap at first to see if they can get high sales volume but the demand is never there.
