Acura NSX (NA1/2) Comprehensive Buyer's Guide

This is my best attempt at consolidating 18 years of NSX information in my brain for your consumption. I missed a few things so I'm hoping the NSX Ownership community will call me out in the comments.
Honda produced this car for 14 years. I hope many of you have the chance to own one someday!
If you're truly serious about buying an NA1/2 you'll likely be familiar with the ultimate NSX resource - nsxprime.com. I started a thread there for anyone with any questions I could not answer in the video or any follow-up questions in general. We're happy to help!

Very comprehensive! I have done a 4 part S2000 buyers guide in my channel and it takes a lot of work. Many will benefit from your video years to come

We miss you in LA man. I need to visit TX again soon.

@@RyuMoto I was just in LA recently for the VIVE conference downtown! Definitely come to NSXPO with or without your car 😁

If you had the choice between a NA1 coupe vs a NA2 coupe which one would you pick? This is including importing from Japan as well?

[@RyuMoto]

This is my personal opinion. I couldn't enjoy a LHD car in a RHD country. I'd get a regular USDM NA2 coupe and change the flywheel assuming the price was reasonable.
