drove a nsx today

it was so cool, the whole body is like.. fiberglass, and the engine is right behind your head.. but you don't hear anything! and the car is fast... the guy had some engine stuff done to it, we were at 120mpg in less than a few seconds and we didn't even have a chance to get to 3rd! the guy who owns said said he got it used for 40k, and he is getting his car some stereo put into his car, so the store woner took me for a ride... and since the store owner gets to keep the car till wednesday, he is gonna go out at midnight and try out all 6 gears. before the owner of the nsx left, he even said "take it around and have fun, show it off to your friends, and get laid "

Ive driven Porsches, Ferraris, a Lambo Jalpa, an nsx, a Lotus turbo, Mercedes, Bmw, and Panos...I used to valet park so i would get alot fo exotic cars. When I worked at the porsche dealer i used to get to drive the boxters, 996 turbo and non turbos....that was sweet. Never got the chance to drive a Hummer though....

$40Gs? Not bad for a car that is being sold @$90Gs. That's one hell of a good deal. Anyone who wants an s2000 could just save up $10,000 for that V6 but fixing those cars up... I wouldn't even think about making it faster. I saw one around here... in the GET-TOE!

does he mean 120mph not mile per gallon? =)

will be nice to get 120mpg on the NSX haha

anyway that is very cool. I never have chance to drive anything over 201+ HP. The fastest cars I ever drove was a 2000 Honda Accord V6 and test drive my friend Type-S =~(

<< it was so cool, the whole body is like.. fiberglass, and the engine is right behind your head.. " >>



actually...the nsx is made of aluminium...only cheaper vehicles like vettes (early 90's) use fiberglass for body panels to save weight b/c of the big block needed to make power...the c5 vettes have plastic body panels whcih don't crack in cold weather like hte fiberglass ones did...the cheapo parts (or saturn like) reduce crash safety...that's why the nsx has expensive aluminium...light weight but steel like body strength for better occupant protection...but it costs more to make
