very nice C32...

and the NSX is super rare (white!!!)

even though the 3.2L is underpowered in today's world.. a simple call to CompTech can easily fix that problem.

Thanks! Yep only 7 white ones made my year.

I'll be adding the Comptech SC after the conversion. The great thing about CT is that it is smog legal, no hassles with the law..

It was this Japanese guy. I talked to him for a bit, but can't remember his name right now. It was at TWS.

CompTech is now out of business. You might want to give lovefab a call.

To my knowledge Comptech announced that on June 18th they will be up and running again.

That mod was on the list because of the reliability and it passes smog. I'd love to have Lovefab, but I want to stay legal with the car. You seem pretty knowledgable about the NSX..

is him leaving at day's end. The Noble is owned by an experienced lady driver - the plate says "HERNOBLE". The other Benz there (see pics) was an SL65 with Renntech mods....over 700hp and 1000 lb/ft

The Purple NSX is Cody from Lovefab's personal car (he trailered it down from Traverse City) - this video clip is him leaving at day's end.

Nice...hanging out with the NSX crowd. I seen that video recently posted up on the NSX forums. That car looks like it seriously hauls.. You should get one..just add a Comptech like me if you need that extra power.

For the car being hand built, aluminum construction, and the amount of R&D that went into the car, I'd say it's an underpriced engineering masterpiece. Aryton Senna fine tuned the suspension, and Gordon Murray used it as a benchmark for the McLaren F1, ect.. You do get what you are paying for.
