It’s taken me quite some time to warm up to the new NSX if I’m honest, but I think I’m getting there. For some background, I credit the 911 for making me a car guy. Our neighbor across the street had a 996 and he was nice enough to let me sit in it, and from that moment on, I was hooked on cars. Since then, I’ve really come to appreciate how steadily and carefully the 911 has evolved from generation to generation as I’ve grown up. When the new NSX first came out, I thought Acura went wayyyyyyy out over their skis with the tech. It seemed so detached from the purity and simplicity that the original NSX represented and way too video gamey and digital to me to be a rewarding driver’s car. I still think that to a certain degree, but much less so than when it first came out. And hey, NSX does stand for NEW Sports Experimental, so by it’s very name, it can’t be what a 911 is. Maybe I didn’t quite approach it with an open enough mind at first. Still, though, what I’d like to see is a RWD NSX - keep the rear electric motor for the torque fill and the electric only driving capability, but ditch the two front motors to get some of the organic feel back. I’d be willing to take the hit to the 0-60 and handling numbers to get that feel back. Just my thoughts, though.
