Think about the fact that before any fees an Aozora retails at $31,395. Yes, still a decent price difference. The seller would likely take $35k, at which point we're about $3k more.

The car is "high mileage" and 20 years old. But it's an NSX. A supercar. With Honda reliability.
I'd love to see a head to head comparison of the two cars on road and track. I would assume the NSX to be faster in straights due to the higher power, but who knows when it would come to lap times.

He's going after the collector market.

I don't know that I would call the NSX a supercar. It doesn't have enough power to really be called that.

It does certainly fall into the exotic category though.

Ok, it's 20 years old and will have a bunch of mileage.

I bet the NSX would provide more thrills in less time on the track.

There is a high cost for newness. The reason a new twin is close to the price of an old NSX is because the NSX is old.

Agree with jvincent. The NSX is a super car but not a supercar.

Haha. We did a promo spot yesterday on Rogers TV for the Ontario 1500 race week that is happening next year. I'm sure with the huge audience watching I will be stopped on the street for my autograph, lol...

Not sure, of course I recorded it on my PVR but not sure how to get it off that (camera in front of tv I guess would work)

Maybe Rogers has a link or feed they can send us.

Doesn't look like it...

I'm still at the shop, cleaning up, busy Saturday tomorrow.

The FR-S is sitting pretty, defiantly denying that winter is coming...

pushrod · 11-14-2014, 11:09 PM

Had my car oil coated today, right before the snowfall. Now my car smells like oil and BO instead of just BO. Great.

HeadBanger · 11-15-2014, 09:38 AM

Well going to head up to Tremblant one last time.

Then wash the car up and put it away for the winter.
This is the first year in my life where I can't wait for winter to be over lol

Got to Lachute and the 327 was covered in salt. Came home and a guy contacted me about my wheels, so I made the trip to MTL.

At least I got some driving in

AznKirby · 11-16-2014, 07:34 PM

Stored the car over the weekend.
Can't wait for next season!

KingGeo · 11-16-2014, 07:45 PM
