New 2021 NSX Owner

Hello everyone I’m new to these forums and how to post but here goes. We just placed an order for a new 2021 NXS. We choose the Curva Red with red calipers, saddle interior, carbon fiber interior sport package, and door sill illuminated lighting. We are very excited and also somewhat apprehensive. We are starting a new business Intrinsic Detailing and plan to use the NSX in our advertising. We have a lot of questions about the car and hope some of you nay have answers.

We'll help however we can! Also consider creating an account on nsxprime, where you will obviously find much more active discussion specifically about the NSX.

Congrats! I have a 2017 NSX so I'm somewhat familiar with the car if you have any questions!

Thanks I certainly will. Considering you live in a cold climate do you remove your continental tires in the winter. I saw a you tuber that recommended this.

I actually only used the oem wheels with the continental tires for a couple months. Since then I have been using Michelin sport cup 2 exclusively. I just don't drive it when it's under 7 c.

The continental sport contact 6 tires are great summer tires though. I used them in the civic and they handled track day no problem.

what I ended up doing was ordering a new set of wheels and tires just for the winter. I went with Bridgestone Potenza RE 980AS 19‘s in the front and 20s in the back for the rubber and verttini RFS 1.2 wheels. I’ll just run them in the winter

Oh darn should have tried to sell you my set of rims LOL.

Would be interested to know how these tires handle the winter - which part of the country are you in? Also, there's a 2nd gen NSX Facebook Group. Have you joined it? Lots of good info there and people are very active there.

thank you they do require a Vin number I simply stated that I ordered my 2021 last month answered all the questions hopefully they’ll allow me to join. I also said I would provide the Vin as soon as we get it from Acura. I’ll be at the performance center in Columbus in two weeks I may be able to get the Vin number then

Yes it’s tough waiting for the car. We should be at the PMC in three weeks just to look around.

I tried to Facebook group that you recommended but they wanted a Vin number and I just typed in that the car was on order I still haven’t been approved yet

Are you doing the NSX Insider Experience or planning to just drive up and knock on the front door? Or did they tell you to come "just to look around" but they're not going to charge you anything?

I’ll be in Columbus attending training at Esoteric car care and while there we are just going to stop by as the car is not on the line yet. However when it’s being worked we are considering the insider experience.

I'd be shocked if they let you in for a look-see just because you're in the area, but I guess you have nothing to lose. Regarding the NSX Insider Experience, I can't speak highly enough of the experience--it was worth every penny. Absolutely do it if you can.

Yea likely they want to see the VIN first.

What did you have before the NSX by the way? Any plans for modding/tracking it?

Definitely do the insider tour. I live two hours’ drive from the factory and was invited to a NSX drive almost three years ago. I didn’t get to tour the factory itself, but the lobby of the building was part of our session, and I met NSX line workers and engineers. I then drove the car on the street, autocross, and on the big banked track at the Performance Research Center. Awesome experience, and the new NSX is THE REAL DEAL. It is awesome. Insider tour will be worth your time.

if you’ll be in the area, you can visit the Honda Heritage Center nearby, irs open to the public. I’d bet your dealer could open up a conversation about you visiting the factory itself if you are in the area.

I’m so excited for you!
