It was only a rental ;( .. I wish i could only afford one.. someday...
Definatly was an interesting car to drive. Much different than the s2000. If anyone has played the video game 355 Challenge with the multiple monitors, it felt exactly like that. You are driving a video game and not a car. You sit low down and the wheel arches are quite high and definatly visable. Optimum seating position and you seem to forget just how long the car is, feels like a much smaller car than it looks like to be. The one I had was definatly a rental, as its been beat upon and beat upon (and I didnt help it out either..lol). The steering was direct and responsive and extremly light. The sound... oh the sound! It definatly dosent have much torque (at least in comparison to an S4 or M5), but has a similar exceleration feel to a s2000. The brakes were amazing, and hated the F1 paddle shift when I first got in it, but after a few hours of spirited driving, I was just absolutly loving it in sport mode on the downshifts. Unfortunatly the company has the car on GPS and has marked off all race tracks so couldn't bring it out (was truly eating me up inside). I am renting one again in the summer, but this time in red and with a stick shift, the way it was meant to be.
Obviously you can tell I was never cut out to be a journalist ..lol
How is the NSX? 2 years ago I had the chance to buy a theft recovery NSX where the guy left the keys in the car. There was absolutly no damage and was being sold in some hick state. It was on an auction and helieve it or not, it sold for 13,000 US. I had the winning bid but because I had forgoten my broker information I lost the sale. Oh boy do I ever still kick my self in the ass for that one. And it only had 37,000 Miles.

NSX is awesome. High wheel arches like the F360 makes it feel good and exotic.
I love it. Needed some mods during the past few years to bring it up to where I wanted it, but Im really happy.
It has been completely reliable for me, which is as important as any performance measure, to me.

I haven't yet found a car outside of the F360 which needs some mods to bring it up to where I would like it to be (even sadly including my S), and that includes porsches, bmw's (havent drivin the m3 yet, but M5 yes), Audi's, a few ferrari's (mainly older ones), VW's and others.
I want an nsx
... wanna trade? 
That thing must be amazing at the track. The wider stance must just do wonders for cornering stability. Sure would love to sit in for a few laps.
