    Default Nsx-r

    I went to look at the NA2 NSX-R for sale last week. I have a black 2005 NSX and it is a totally different car! It rides much much firmer than the standard car. It is much louder. I never got to drive it but it doesn't have PAS, so I assume this is pretty uncomfortable around town. It's not for me, I prefer my car, especially as I use it a lot in town. The NSX-R is like the 911 GT3 RS, a pure race car and great for a track. Great recaros though but I didn't like the white wheels. Thought you might like to see some photos.

    from Gordon Murray: The NSX’s development costs must have been enormous. Everything on it is unique. The chassis, powertrain, even the air conditioning are peerless. That aluminum body was very expensive. The numerous hurdles overcome by the NSX to reach production in areas such as spot welding, corrosion, and repairability make it a monumental work in automotive history.

    Did the car look tired and worn?

    Your NSX looks very much like a Ferrari 430 spyder...

    It looks like it has had a good valet. I'm guessing that the current owner has asked a specialist garage to sell it for them

    The current Top Gear mag has a piece about the demise of the Type Rs that includes some pictures and a little text about this car.

    Is that just to show you what else you could buy for the same money LOL

    I have to admit the NSX-R looks very dated next to the F430 and I'm not a fezza fan!

    Surprised not to see the NSX-R steering wheel?

    Couldn't agree more and the F430 looks crap against the 458.

    Its essentially a 21 year old design now and for me still holds its own.

    I think the NSX-R holds its own too, even next to the Ferrari, but you really need to be in the mood to drive the Honda. It has no power steering, sits so low to the ground that you feel every little bump, and is extremely loud. The advantage of modern cars, the F430 included, is that technology in suspension has come a long way since the 1990's. The F430 is designed to take the bumps on UK roads, and the settings on the steering wheel allow you to drive in rain without too much drama. Have you tried to drive an NSX hard in the rain . I love the NSX-R, but its a track car, and a very expensive one at that

    Attached some recent photos....
