Acura's first submarine..!! If you thought the NSX was groundbreaking before..

[QUOTE]The Acura NSX is rare enough that you rarely see them on the streets. When we saw a mint condition NSX trolling the streets of Woodward during the Dream Cruise, we were reminded of just how much road presence Acura's first and only supercar actually has. If we owned a a mint condition NSX, we might reasonably be tempted to avoid driving it the weather forecast even hinted at rain, but unfortunately not all drivers appear to exercise care in wet weather.
Hit the jump to watch a beautiful NSX as it trudges through what looks to be nearly two feet of standing water. At one point, the water, which came as the result of a torrential downpour in Orange Park, Forida, was up to the side mirrors. The real payoff, when the video goes from sad anger-inducing to hilarious comes about 33 seconds in, when you can clearly see water pouring out of the closed doors of the NSX. It stuns us to think that someone would think it would be a good idea to drive a low-slung supercar through a flood zone, but it probably shouldn't./QUOTE]

I bet with a constant speed (like he was doing) it would forge thru with little water hitting the engine compartment

However it will be moldy and stinky, and it does appear to be an NA5, probably a 91 since they are getting pretty cheap for idiots to afford
Whoever this fool is, he needs to be shot in the nuts. You don't do that to such a nice car, esp one like the NSX. I'd be like driving a ferrari into a lake... Oh wait that already happened

Just because there is water coming out of the doors does not mean there was water in the interior. Brave/dumb move none the less, I've known too many people who have had hydralock problems to risk driving in large puddles.

nsx door jamb - disregard the kit.
sorry, im only putting emphasis on the fact that there was water coming out of the doors. i dont think that much damage could be done to the car other than interior damage...due to what was said above.
this guy may of made it through alright.

Even if he didn't get water in the interior or engine. Having all that water getting to all the steel fasteners causing more corrosion to occur. I drove my wife's Integra through some deep water a few time and getting some chassis and suspension bolts/nuts loosened years later was a bitch.
What a idiot!
