      The problem that kills some cars is the leadership and lack of vision at the company. Many companies have done that. Nokia, Microsoft killing windows phone and Nissan errors all came from lack of vision. Bad leadership kills. I wish NSX dedication kept going.

      I do no like any of Honda's cars post 2022. All of they're cars are too bloated and ugly now. I understand cars need to follow safety laws, somehow Nissan, Sabura, Madza and Toyota are doing a lot better in terms of bloat and making the car still look good.

      Even the extra foot cam is the same. It's when Senna raced for McLaren and they used Honda engines. They wanted his opinion on their new car, he said it was good for a mass produced car but felt fragile. They went back and substantially improved chassis rigidity based on his feedback.

      They are very capable, but don't quite have the charm and the build quality of the original NSX. Honestly they feel slapped together, especially on the inside. Just random pieces added in complete incongruity. The original NSX feels like seamless from doorjamb to doorjamb. Just the epitome of Japanese luxury/sport design. Unfortunately that time has come and gone and we will never see anything like it again.

Manual steering lets me feel everything that’s going up front. I rarely listen to the stereo at all as the VTEC music behind me is #1 in the music charts for me. I wouldn’t sell it for anything else today. Built by Honda, Tuned by a Legend (Senna).

    Great production - I was really excited for this one! The Senna tribute was great - the GTR and LFA appearances were totally expected (that SOUND). There actually are (puny) cupholders in the original NSX, you just missed the last way to open that cubby. FYI there's a '94 NSX here in Ottawa if you guys want to try an older and high mileage model (with a few non-museum-worthy bits that help me fit better and live with it).

      While Mr. Cammisa noted that "weight is everything", I'd say that "it's all about balance". No doubt weight, or rather the lack of it, plays a big role. But in reality you have to account for everything involved and how all of those things impact the driving experience. For the sake of performance, emissions and safety among other things, cars these days sacrifice all sorts of things that made the original NSX (and many other older cars) so special to drive and interact with.

    If offered the keys to either one, I'd take the Zanardi NSX every time. It is a very special car. Like any of the pre-facelift 1st generation NSX cars, it only continues to get better looking with time. Such an iconic, timeless design that will never be confused with any other car. The new NSX Type S is none of these things in my opinion, despite it offering impressive levels of performance and being a technological marvel.

    Thanks for the video. I used to own Zanardi #2, then sold to buy 2017 NSX. A few correction, the Zanardi is NEW Formula Red (older NSX were just Formula Red.)
    One of the reasons why the old NSX has more truck space is the spare tire. The old one has a space saver spare in the front hood. In the event the spare is installed, the rear storage is large enough to fit one of the full sized rear tires. Also the reason why the new NSX has that “hump” is to clear the gear change electric motor mechanism that is on top of the gearbox.
    In the gen 2 NSX, as bad as the radio volume situation is, even worse is adjusting the blower fan speed. It takes no less than 45 seconds from starting the car until one has access to the on screen menu to adjust the fan speed. Not great when sitting in a sun baked car trying to get some air flow lol. The old NSX had a nice fan speed knob that was fast and easy to adjust, that is when it worked. ALL gen1 NSX eventually have the climate computer board fail from leaking capacitors, thankfully there’s a “guy” who fixes them for cheap. If that cars climate controls work, he’s probably already fixed it.

    I’m a die hard Honda guy, but I love how honest you guys are about the inefficiencies and flaws about the new car. There’s literally no charm or passion that exudes from it like the original NSX. The detailed spartan interior on the Zanardi edition just exemplifies Honda. The interior on the new one feels like my 2018 Acura MDX, which is very lackluster. I’m not sure how long my passion for Honda will last. The quality and passion is gone.

      We barely get cars like og NSX anymore. Aside of 911 gt3, cayman gt4 with manuals or Lotus Emira V6 mt, we have no soul full feelfull cars anymore, and even these are compromised in that aspect compared to cars from 20 years ago.
      Chasing number, stupid nvh design focus and electric everything rob us of sensations and fun to a point mundane cars from 1990s and prior are more fun to drive.
      Aside of this kit cars like Caterhams are an options, but these are borderline useless and just too far in the other direction.

    a lot of the problem with factory cars, especially mid engined awd ones, is that they give them alignment settings that make the car easy to drive and super stable, but all that really means is that they understeer like crazy.
