I skipped out on buying an NA1 1991 NSX because I was worried I couldn't find someone to work on it - it was going to be my first sportscar. Bought a 37,000km AP1 S2000 instead. I still regret not buying the NSX, but at the same time, I don't ever regret buying the S2000 and plan to keep it forever.

ok back in 1991 my friend bought a 1991 brand new NSX, and let me tell you, in this video, the NSX driver is not experienced on twisty's, or just having fun, one thing great about the NSX is its handling, wow!! for a fact, NSX when taking a sharp turn, it doesn't skid or slide, it hop's...then goes..lol..loved that car..

New subscriber here! Goodluck with the channel and looking forward with future videos.

Amazing video! However, you never seem to be driving the S2000 at it's limit. It appears you are always keeping a certain distance between the two cars. A bit too much time holding the shift knob and not keeping two hands on the wheel, tells me you are not driving at your limit either. Regardless, I think both cars are, and sound, awesome. I would chose the NSX, since I've owned my fair share of 2-seater convertibles over the years, and pop-up headlights are just so cool!

@@DRBLUESNYC essentially, you need to take some advanced driving lessons from a proper driving coach. The steering was suspect but there were other things, such as trajectory, planning and timing of gear changes and braking etc, with overall a lack of flow. Granted the road was rather technical. This is not a criticism, it’s just to point out where it could get better

Both please! Honestly, the NSX would be hard to pass up with the right funds. I havent driven an S2000, but Ive heard they can be a handful (although so can an early NSX). I have driven a '98 NSX and was really surprised by its useable torque.....it was so easy to drive at slow speeds.

Great video, man the sound of those engines!!BTW nice leather armour!!

You can hear when the NSX really digs in, but never seems very plussed creating a gap. While the S2k, you seem to be wringing it out a bit more. I passed on some NSX's and Skylines and opted for a Porsche instead. Very happy with mine as a daily driver but an NSX is an incredible machine. Still kinda want a Skyline but know they are murder for parts! 😂

Hi Doctors Blues, I dis not have a chance to compare the two, I have only a AP1 Série 2, nevertheless due to the gauge/jib (Size) différences and engine architecture , on top of the philosophie and technology of this two cars, i can imagine the S2000 is more agile and efficient on twisty small roads when the NSX is better on more open roads Nice video, like the sound of the 2 engines playing together on this twisty roads.

GOtta use 100% of the track. It adds another dimension.thrill to the ride. THere are times when it maybe even safer - by allowing you to see a greater distance and any approaching cars from the opposite way.

Agree. Top down is half the fun 4 me. Not only you can feel the road, but you can also hear the engine and its note better. I am biased, of course, as I have spent a life time on motorcycles. While I stopped riding motorcycles, I will never will stop riding my S2k with top down. Two other things I will say: the TOP-DOWN experience with Honda S2k is waaaay better than in most other convertibles. I hate my BMW M240 xi with the top down - it takes for ever to fold the roof. And the wind protection is AMAZING with Honda S2k whereas with my beamer it feels as it has got none.
