Hi,

I had the opportunity to House Sit for a '96 NSX which the owner wanted driven regularly while he was away on assignment to the Middle East for a year.

In that time, at his instruction, I put 3k+ mi. on the Car. My observations: The Car is a nice package on par, but certainly not greater than the Boxster Base. All the power came on waay too high in the Power Band - not until the VTEC did it's thing could you distinguish it from any Honda Civic. From 8 of 9 angles, it looked like any other Acura. It was lacking in any kind of Soul - it didn't elicit any feelings of driving something challenging or special. For me, it defined Automotive Boredom...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
