I'm so jelly of you! Had you driven an NSX before purchasing one? Definitely in for a photo shoot (preferably a double photo shoot side by side with the S).

Thanks everyone. I'll probably be driving both cars 50% each, poor weather days will go to the S. It has proven to be a very good car in the winter/rain, and will baby the NSX once the newness of owning this wears off somewhat.

Road noise from the tires does have me concerned though. Maybe an alignment will help. Tires seem brand new *shrugs*

I've never driven one, or even sat in one before this, actually. Its something I knew I wanted for as long as I can remember, unlike that saying where you never want to meet your hero's, this car has proven that wrong. Its an absolute dream to drive!

Thanks! I'll probably be driving both evenly, cept for bad weather = S2000 (really good in the snow, surprisingly!)

I'd get a good alignment right away if you plan on driving it much, stock calibrations eat rear tires like a Viper.

1994 is one of the best years for the NSX as well IMO.
Yeah man, just like that Drive video, talking about them going up in value. Woot woot! I'm going to try and baby it as much as I can, and the alignment sounds like a good idea, considering the amount of road noise from the tires I'm getting. 1994 is the year Senna died, so it's kinda extra special to me to have that year. RIP Ayrton!

Thanks! Off of 522 actually, more towards Front Royal.

And I'm very surprised that NFCU would finance a car like that. I've had a few cars financed through them over the last decade, and they have always been very strict with what they give out loans for.
I was shocked too, as soon as they told me up to 20 years my mind instantly went to NSX. It was already made up lol. Just 5 years ago, when I bought the S2000, they were only allowing up to 6 years though. *shrugs*

Nope! Never driven one, or even sat in one, but I knew it was what I wanted. I really want to take some cool night/day parking garage shots, soon hopefully, before the weather gets worse.

I financed a small bit of my NSX through PenFed. It was funny because they didn't know what a NSX was and it wasn't listed in their database.

Congrats on the car. The test drive is definitely enough to change the minds of a lot of people when it comes to the NSX.

As in, it would steer you away?

I would seriously want to get into one, but I have never driven one. I have ridden in a few (NA1 and NA2). Honestly, the feel and sound alone had me in love.
