Not that it really matters, but the article quotes a 0-60 time of 2.7 seconds. That's the first I've heard that.

Haha ya, it's appreciating....not sure about the US, but here in Vancouver, even S2000's are appreciating quickly.

I would still rather have an R34 over an R35.
May be conversion?? It's a lot of work but it's possible I think.

Thanks for posting man. This is the type of super car that I'd love to have.

I think you can sidestep the 25 year rule for a show/display vehicle, but then it's not road legal

Eye opening experience getting insurance quotes, quite a few carriers do not insure vehicles over $150k. Conflicting response regarding the paint curing process. I was under the impression that only the "special" paint colors, i.e. Valencia and Nouvelle needed 60 days before touching. Xpel is saying only 30 days.

Since the Gen2 sub is a ghost town, here is my first pic coming off the truck...

Haven't driven it yet, waiting for dash cam to be installed first. Will have to baby it until it is fully protected with a full wrap.

Well, I know it's been a long time in the making given how you've talked about getting this. But, to see your dream come true on your dream car is terrific.

I can't wait for your impressions. Congrats again, dude. You may have horrid taste in hockey teams...but, you make up for it with this.

Well all the talking wasn't my fault. I was waiting on Acura to build the darn thing.... *for ahem, a few years.

If they offer more aerodynamic mirrors next year, I'm gonna be pissed!

Congrats!!

No matter what anybody (including myself) says on AZ, I think we'd all be grateful if, say, a new NSX just showed up in our garage with the keys inside, no questions asked. We'll be awaiting pictures!

How does somebody get in the car to back it out of that truck? There enough space on the sides to get in? Looks very tight.

There is a door on the side.

Bumped into a local NSX prime member near me who has not one, not two, but THREE G1 NSX's!!!

1It appears Honda might be moving forward with its baby NSX project.

Rumors and speculation surrounding the baby NSX has died down quite a bit, but these latest patent images will surely re-spark the discussion. Registered and fully published on July 17 by the European Union Intellectual Property Office, the patent application is specifically for the car’s interior, but we’re able to see the exterior design as well. The dash that was previously revealed in a July 2016 patent appears to be incorporated into the cabin.SEE ALSO: More Hints Honda is Working on a Baby NSX Surface

The center console features similar design elements as the Acura NSX, although there are more knobs and dials seen in this particular example.Honda has been rumored to be working on a successor to the S2000 for years now, and it’s been assumed the baby NSX will serve that role. Unfortunately, the Japanese automaker has stayed relatively quiet regarding the project, and we have yet to even see a concept confirming its in the works.

Soon we'll get a spy shot, which means we can start the 10 year countdown to the car coming to market!

Get excited!

I'm betting it's the s2000 successor. Looks like they moved the engine to the back, though. interesting.

Fibonacci,

Dude, congrats and that is friggin awesome!!! I knew there would be at least 1 Aziner who has the means and interest to acquire the new NSX (despite the lack of love for the new NSX on this board at times....). Enjoy it and definitely we'll be living vicariously through you for pics and updates and driving impressions!

I haven't followed this thread for a while but I do remember that many on this board did not feel much love for the new NSX at all but I am glad one of our own has their hands on one and can give first hand impressions.

But Taco, I am curious as to what made you change your mind?
