Just picked it up yesterday.

2017 NSX

Mike ctsV

looks nice, is it fast? Is it stick or auto?

You can buy a cheaper, lighter, and faster car.

I didn't and I am not sorry one bit.

This car is ****.

heavymetals

iTrader: (3)

It is governed to not exceed 190, like I am ever going to test that!

0-60 is supposed to be very close to 3 and I don't doubt it.

There is one video I saw that is a rebuttal to the Harris(?) video about value that I thought was a little misleading as the whole car market is in the *******.

Great if you are a buyer and qualify.

Later this year I think they will get desperate as I don't see things improving.

If you can find a "new" NSX on a dealer lot they are very motivated, from what I hear.

In before all the "OMG, what do you do for a living?!" questions.

Calling that an upgrade is an understatement, haha. Is the V just your daily now?

Got a story for ya.

I retired (electronics engineer) in 2005 and I was quite satisfied with my V1 and C5 Z06, my mod sickness and my hobbies.

I could afford all of it, a real plus if you retire!

In 2015 I started working for a small start up that is a technology spinoff from a 10 year research project at USC.

I just hit my 2 year anniversary and they have attracted some serious investment.

So, the big ? was, WHAT ARE YOU WORKING FOR?

Ergo, I made a deal with myself if I sold either Mr. Vette or the V, I could think about another car.

The clincher was my credit union saying they would finance it.

I watched Doug DeMuro and a couple of other guys review these. Seems like a really cool car. I bet it's awesome. Congrats!!

i'm actually more jealous you're retired with money than of your car even though i'd love one of those, too.

i have to work approximately another 62 years before i can probably afford to retire...

Congrats Heavy!

Nice car, not everybody's cup of tea, but still a pretty great car overall.

Your V1 will always sound better though

heavymetals

Thanks guys!

The car weighs as much or more then a V1!

I would not have been able to afford it if I didn't have this bitchin job with a startup company or the incredible pension I got working for HUGHES (before GM and Raytheon raped it).

I am not modding this one!

What makes it so heavy? Listed weight is 3800 lbs.

heavymetals

Sticker on the car has GVW as 4400 lbs.

batteries and motors. its a hybrid

GVW means fully loaded to max capacity doesn't it? That means two people at 150lbs each and the set of golf clubs that fits in the 'trunk'. It's probably somewhere in between the 38 and 44 fully dressed and driver'd.

iTrader: (3)

I hope so.

I am still going over the specs of the car.

All I can tell you for sure is this thing is FAST!

This thing turns heads!

My V is running bitchin, I think it got nervous when Mr. Vette disappeared. lol

Heavy,

What options does your NSX have? I saw the carbon brakes, what else ?

heavymetals

iTrader: (3)

It has the carbon fiber roof, spoiler, interior package and radio upgrades.

Alcantara seats, headliner and painted wheels.

The build sheet was $186.7k
