Pictures come when I get the car. It's in Detroit right now. I'm in Texas. It has to be shipped.

This car was tested and developed by 3 time World Champion Ayrton Senna before his shocking death in 1994
So its bit of history on four wheels.

Yep, I'm quite aware of the history. The NSX was actually one of the earliest cars to be developed using Nurburgring testing. Believe it or not, the stock suspension is actually quite floaty on the NSX though. On the other hand, the NA2 NSX-R suspension that was on mine is unbelieveably harsh.

Okay, I'll share the pictures now

E-Bay Listing of the car I bought

I really wasn't thinking it was a good idea to advertise the auction I was bidding on while the action was in progress.

Slash, it looks like you are truly getting a great car there. The 04 anniversary is the best of the 986 "breed." The sport seats and special steering wheel make me jealous. Love those grey Carrera wheels and the hp bump is nice too. Enjoy!
