Excellent pics. I had my first drive in an NSX today. Absolutely amazing!

The stats don't do them jusice do they?

Couldn't say for sure as it was only a quick blast round the block. Only a couple of miles max. What i can say for sure is how special it felt, and the noise is pure

Hopefully the old man will let me have an extended drive soon.

Well I don't know what is better the car or the pictures!

Lovely photos and cracking looking car - will be in my garage one day although not rushing to sell my teg after a quick late night blast last night ;-)

Nice photos and good chasing you across country in mine last summer Bank Holiday. Give me a nudge next time you're going out to play

regards, Paul

Quite soon I'd imagine fella, pulled it out of hibernation now MOT'd & will be taxed by the weekend. I'm looking forward to putting some fun mileage under the wheels....

If you ever head westwards let me know...be nice to tag along if you're OK with that...will bring my camera too!

clearly captured sensation of speed.

Haven't test driven one but I'm weighing up an NSX as a daily drive, as a step above an Elise (which I have test-driven on road and track) and as a contrast to my track-modified rwd TVR.

TrackDemon - quick question - is the cornering line fairly adjustable with the throttle, say coming out of 40-60mph corners? This is what I'd like to get a feel for, as a first mid-engined car. I don't mean sliding, which is obviously best kept for the track rather than my surrounding country B-roads littered with tractors/sheep/tourists

Hi, prior to my NSX I ran an Elise for 20k miles in a year as a daily driver. Never stopped smiling but it does have its limitations even though I'm only 5'8" ...

Th NSX isn't a daily for me but does cover around 5k pa including trips to Europe which I wouldn't have done in the Elise.

Honda designed it to be used everyday and there are many owners at nsxcb.co.uk that do just that. Pop over and ask for some other views. For a an NSX with good history expect to pay from £20k upwards depending on your requirements. Auto will be cheaper and maybe a good compromise for a daily?

The acid test will be to drive one.... its very different to an Elise, thats for sure. The chassis is certainly responsive to throttle modulation under load, and a little bit of oversteer is on the menu (particularly when wet) if you want it, although its not really what the NSX is all about. It is a brilliant road car chassis though, my only criticism is that I wish the steering was a little quicker & more feelsome although this is something you get used to.

Other reasons to own one: brilliant driving position, gearchange, comfort, lovely engine (and yes it is quick enough....), that noise and of course the looks & rarity are nice.

Thanks for quick replies, has encouraged me to take a test run at a dealer, and check out nsx forum.

Although outright speed isn't what I'm after, various road-tests confirm your view on performance, TD - as you probably know the Autocar long termer cracked 11.5 to 100 when fully run in, which is plenty quick enough for effortless overtaking.

Even though it was developed in the late 80's, the NSX is still quicker than 99% of traffic on the road nowadays. Overtaking is not usually an issue

I tend to leave the traction control switched on at all times on mine (except in empty car parks). It isn't adjustable in the way my 106 and 306 Rallyes were as its limits are too high on the public road.

I use mine most days (even a run down to the shops), and have covered around 9000 miles in the last year. As you would expect, I haven't had any problems. I'm 6ft 3 so tend to have the seat back at a slight angle - their isn't a great deal of headroom!

If you have TrackDemon's skills then the NSX is more than a little adjustable on a nice open airfield such as Bruntingthorpe!

I'm just hoping that a test drive will reveal that you can adjust the line a little by more or less throttle - without going as far as skidding front or rear tyres - a little more than on a rwd car like a TVR. It's become a slightly bizarre fascination with more interactivity, I suppose.

Couldn't really get an Elise to do this on a test drive, or even a hired Exige at Spa, but I can do it on the NSX on my son's playstation GT4!

I believe TD has put in some practice to be able to drift his NSX (in the appropriate safe places). I would'nt recommend trying this for real unless you know what you're doing otherwise the NSX will bite .... hard! Mid engined RWD will swap ends very quickly if you get the balance wrong. The Elise ws quite easy to play with on the throttle, but i've not even tried in the NSX. Prefer to spend time going the right way quickly .....
