I think Honda pioneered their EPS system on the NSX, but it was a 3rd party OEM deal, not home grown (I think)... It wasn't there from the beginning, Mike/Mitch?

The '94 is gorgeous... I'm not sure about the steering, they're both a lot heavier than anything I'm used to (including the semi I was driving thursday). I really feel that the boost curve is backwards of what it should be (it's manual at low speeds with boost increasing with speed... I think it should be max boost at low speeds and tapering off to no boost by about 40 mph). I love the clutch and shifter of the '94, love the sound burbling behind your head... Stereo still blows chunks (Bose = ) especially for a $75,000 car... Very comfortable to drive around and roll around town.

Oddly enough, we stopped at the liquor mart, and Mitch saw another NSX (a rarity in Fort Fun) roll into Pizza Hut on a food run...

Did I mention it's gorgeous?

Hmm... Perhaps because the EPS in the NSX is not a Honda unit (if I'm right), then it could be that Honda was not able to tune it completely.

The S2000 EPS is my favorite single functional aspect of the car. Even more than VTEC, I think. Whatever they did during the NSX development may have put them in a good position to do the S with home grown stuff. I to the Honda gods -- the trickle-down really worked in this case, Billy.

Do ask Mitch to get a 3-some shot.

Well, the '91's curve is the same, though with more boost overall (at least that's what Mitch says - it's been 2 weeks between driving the two for me). It's not a car that would be easy to whip around a corner and get some drifting going on... relative to the S2000.

LOL! Yeah, I was just sitting there waiting for WestSide to get his happy a$$ back outside and there it was...a '99 NSX-T in red pulling up to the Pizza Hut drive-thru window!! It was funny because it was raining and storming like crazy and there was my NSX on a liquor run, and another NSX on a food run....LOL! Life in the hood is good.
