Wow!

Those are nice miles.

Low mileage non-painted clean title NSXs are diamonds.

I think turbo is the way to go. Had a CTSC, big pulley, and wasn't too impressed. Maybe a small pulley would have changed my mind.

I've seen some really fast turbo NSX.

I am on my 2nd Sebring Silver NA1 Coupe. I hope to always have at least one NSX in the garage.

For me, it has no equal at twice the price.

It represents a rare moment in automotive history. The soul of a company was embodied in a singular vision that transformed the conception of the exotic car.

I think a turbo really ruins the spirit of the car, the power comes on too suddenly and awkwardly whereas a 3.1" pully, 750cc injectors and a nice meth kit on the ctsc will feel like n/a power from 3k up to redline, much more in the originally intended spirit of the car.

not IMO...714 horse power GT-7r Turbo, water to air AEM methanol injected...every thing but the paint has been done to real type-R specs in this one, howls like an openwheel formulaOne Indy car above 6Krpm...& w/ reliability that simply cannot be beat... thae build has to be done it competely correct from rubber to steering wheel. I thank Armando for that!

This is my 5th NSX, 2nd TYPE-R and a defeninate keeper.
others had 10k miles 15k miles etc...

Still think either turbo or NA with increased displacement is the way to go in terms of serious power mods.

Currently on my second NSX. The only problem is the 996TT doesn't get driven as much

Thanks for the compliment.

I see you bought Armando's NSX. I remember when he posted the 714 rwhp dyno chart on nsxprime and all hell broke loose (in addition to the rear tires).

I recently put a Comptech SC on my '91 Sebring Silver Coupe. What a difference....~350 to the wheels in a car that weighs about 2900lbs. Feels pretty good.

But then I wanted something newer....something with an open top.

So I'm buying a 2003 NA2 Targa this week.

The SC will go over to the new car. Should be about 370 to the wheels when I'm done with the other mods....but it's not the power that gets you into the NSX, it's the driving experience. I've never had more fun.

So I have 2 NSX's in my garage (or will have in a couple days). Like you said, I don't want to be without one....better to stack up and then sell.
