Its tucked in for the winter right next to the S. The competition tires hate these temps and have no and I mean no grip. Breaks at under 2500rpm. I did get into 4th just a bit on the way home and I can tell its a bad mother f'er.

Cant wait to get into it in the spring

The agony of not being able to drive that beast must be unbearable.

I can't wait to see it, I got to throw one around a track last week out west and it was amazing!! Didn't like the yellow though, blue is a much stronger choice

Wait, you're telling me the car has too much power for the road.

Congrats Vince! It is a badass car, but with great power comes great responsibility. Glad you didn't get rid of the S. Smart decision.

NSX reveals in a few weeks. Maybe we can go to the track in a couple of years and see what these cars are made of.

Not at all man.. just here, now. People in warmer climates have answered Motor Trends request to add more power because the car has so much grip that another 100 HP is needed. Indeed, tuner have added 125whp and car is still under control getting 0-60 in 2.8 with zero wheel spin with manual on the street. However the tires in 30 degree weather will never warm up to grip so its just not fun right now. I have the comp tires, not streets. Come warmer temps I cant wait. Also which I didn't take in account I have only 100 miles on mine. There is a oily protectant on the tires that makes them slippery that most people are burning up around 200-300 miles so chances are that's why mine was all over the place combined with the temps. Any car with this kind of power is really too much for the street. it never needed. But the car handles it and you can shut off boost and run and 8 cyl N/A so its there if you want it.. and trust me, you do..

Deff gonna have some tuff calls come spring as to which to drive but as I do love the S, lets be fair.. It cant compare. I liked the nsx a lot, I mean I had an 03 but the new one is a GTR to me where as its not available in a stick and that's a must for me personally.

I could drive it, But im waiting to get paint protection while is fresh. After next week I may have it out and about to beat up the break it period.
When I got on the expressway coming home I got on it a bit 2nd and 3rd shifting at 4k (that's not really getting one it) but it felt like it was. Its insane. Meanwhile its so tame to drive around town in turing mode. Really a simple car to drive and as you dial up the 5 modes of driving settings it becomes more and more nuts
