I find myself wanting to get back into an NSX and dong a supercharger conversion, I had a 92' and while it was way underpwered compared to todays car's it was one of the few cars that I actually loved!

Yes sir... I've been watching NSXPrime for many years, it's crazy that you can see a 100k+ mile early NSX still fetching $25-30k dollars. Says a lot for the car.

NSX Perfection:

I would take one over a any 996 (non turbo/gt3) any day of the week.

You might want to look into the turbo kits out for the car now. They are insane value for the money. There is an HP Motorsports car running 600whp on a stock 136k mile block that is running 10's I think with an all bolt on kit. Prospeed is releasing their turbo kit this month as well... Obviously you can still go balls out with a FactorX kit or there are some amazing kits from LoveFab as well.

I think the kit with standalone ecu comes in at 9k?

Much more performance for your money than the old supercharger setups.

As for the NSX in the above picture... it belongs to "evof575gtc" on NSXPrime and is an awesome ride.

Check out all the pictures you could ever want and more here:

Ahh, I thought you were saying after you worked at Acura you wouldn't buy one, that's why I was surprised!

Yup, sorry I didn't give credit where credit was due... That's where I pulled the pic from this morning.

Ah nope.

who's to argue with full timing belt/water pump services coming out to less than $1K from the dealer? Lot's of room (for a 2 seater) and a ***** cat around town. It's a shame Honda let it sit out at pasture so long while all of its competitors were 30-100 more hp (with about the same trq. difference).
