sjordan2 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 One of the coolest, most unapologetic and in your face super cars ever built by a major manufacturer (does $1000 per tire per year tell you how much they cared about that sort of thing?) You won't see many other examples of this kit.
Red rocket 10 Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Looking good , i will be following your progress , love what you've done , I have 2 of these kits I've yet to build Leonard
Cato Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Had the opportunity to drive a buddy's then brand new one-the Zanardi version . He's a vintage racer who street drives at 9/10's. I drove it on empty, winding country roads at his mountain home at 7/10's without raising a sweat. Skip is right; it was a deadly serious car in its day. A tiny bit large but 'all in your hands' neutral and killer brakes. I was giggling in 10 minutes and enjoyed it for 1/2 hour. I agree with Scott, just not as interesting to me today as then.

I drove my neighbour's early NSX that he keeps locked in his garage and wanted out for a work out. I was in town and pretty careful with it, pretty sure no insurance on it too. It drove perfect to my recollection in the street good power and turning. The country road would have been waaaaaay more fun! We had made some overtures to me purchasing it, I got all excited and then he revealed he was holding on to it as a collector vehicle and won't ever sell Soooo I kind of soured on the car a bit in general, but of course bought the model in the meantime
Cato Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 It has been eclipsed by what came after and my not be worth what he thinks it is. The new 'Vette for instance. Maybe in Japan...
Twokidsnosleep Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I totally agree. Twin turbo straight 6 BMW is just fine for me now He is a bit dodgy in his dealings so I am happy to just stay neighbours Maybe some far off collector will be after it, but with new NSX bodies coming out this year I would be surprised if he hits the home run he thinks he will Sad to see a car sit and rot though
