My Dad has a '94 NSX. No crazy hp upgrades and the car is just amazing to drive. I got to take it for a spin last weekend and you can't help but grin when driving one. I'll have to check the videos when I get home.

Such a timeless design, every time I see one I just want to go out and buy one, maybe in a few years. Those newer models with the fixed headlights looked pretty good, it was the first time I actually liked the NSX with the fixed headlights and thought it looked good, usually I am not that impressed and prefer the fold up headlights much more. The car looks better then 99% of the cars out today.
I have seen quite a few NSX's on the road, much more compared to Ferrari's and Lamborgini's. I have only seen maybe 6 or 7 Ferrari's on the road in my lifetime and 3 or 4 Lamborgini's but I have seen around 15 or 16 NSX's on the road but then again I never lived in California or Florida, I am sure I would see alot more exotics in the more expensive areas of those states.

Great videos and beautiful NSXs. 
Only thing that bugged me was the "-R" floating emblem stuff at the beginning of the first video, reminds me of all the aftermarket Honda Type-R stickers on every family car under the sun with a coffee can exhaust.
If memory serves (it's been 3 years since we sold our NSX so not as familiar as I used to be) the "NSX-R" is Japan only model. While it's certainly possible to have one imported and in that video, it's more likely to be seen as posing or rebadged.
Just a random thought, not meant to detract from the great work on the videos and the beautiful NSXs you found for the video!

Glad all like the cars, they look and sound really nice in person. The video only shows half of it.
Thanks Dave
About the Type-R, yup, it's only available in Japan, so these cars are technically not an "R" model. But the main difference between that special model in Japan and the regular models are additional light-weight carbon fiber parts for the Type-R -- no major engine modifications. All of the cars in the video have those light-weight parts to some degree, and half of them have Comptech superchargers pushing about 100 hp over stock NSX's that had come out of Japan, so these are no doubt faster than the real Japanese NSX-R. It seems replicating the Type-R name with the NSX is more of style, rather than posing to be fast. If anything, I think my first preview is more Rice than the cars

Why do the newer ones have a H and not an A? Anyone for a group buy? My goal would be to have one before I die. My wifes would be to kill me after.
I'd like to start a poll. How many trips to Newark, NJ(work) would I make in one of those before being carjacked? 1 , 2 , or 3?

^ lol.....
We're still missing blue and orange, but other than those, I think we got about all the colors.
Most just bolt a comptech supercharger on it as supposed to replacing the engine itself, and the power curve with that setup is so strong and linear.
