Back to Acura....NSX
#41
This is the exact reason why I wasn't going to mention it was an auto. Please do not derail my thread with the Auto vs Manual argument.
I obviously don't care about it's HP ratings, or I wouldnt have considered this car at all...manual or auto. There's 20 other things I love about this car and if I ever do want to make it faster, there's a large aftermarket for it.
While most may choose the NA2 manual, the rarity of this car made me jump on it within 5 minutes of the seller posting the ad. So your comment of it sitting for a long time is not true.

FWIW I didn't say it wasn't noticeable, I said it was about we same as any other auto to manual.
Take an 04 tl auto for a ride then drive an 04 tl manual. That difference you experience is about the same as auto NSX to manual NSX

Its deflated and not a normal spare.
The NSX used a "folding spare tire" that takes up less space, allowed for a lower hood profile and weighed less (compressed air is weight). They also came with a compressor to inflate it. Side note, they warn you not to use the compressor for more than 15 minutes or it may overheat and die.

Here you go. I can't embed for some reason.
It doesn't nearly translate to the real sound from video to in person but it's a huge difference.

Thanks everyone!
Even inside the cabin it sounds great.
There is a bit of drone around 2200-2500rpms but tolerable for me, and with the windows up it's not as bad. The shop says the tone will adjust for the better around 500-1000 miles so looking forward to how it sounds then.
