I remember a top gear episode where Tara Palmer-Tomkinson owned one - the F-matic NSX in black. She was driving it around London with Jeremy - oh if found it ---> about 6mins in...[youtube]vtw0eJmCUIY[/youtube]

Sounds ok to me... :D :D :D :D

listen the nsx even as an auto will kick ass over a prelude, if you were given a choice between owning a nsx auto or a manual lude i dont care what you say now on here, your going to pick the nsx :lol:

No one said anything about how fast it is compared to a Prelude. :roll:

I couldn't own an auto, even if it's an NSX. I'd rather spend the £16K (or a fraction of that) and make a manual Lude as fast as a 3.0L NSX. Or just get a manual NSX :lol:.

I'm pretty sure the auto isn't faster than a VTEC manual Prelude IIRC. I know it's not all about figures, but why have a lovely mid engined RWD car with a great chassis and NOT have a manual.
And I agree with Merlin, would rather spend a fraction of that and do what I've done. Don't get me wrong, it's great car and I like autos a lot, I just dont like them in my sports cars. LOVE auto Jags, mustangs, Legends etc etc.

I'd hit it.

Just for the fact that I own an NSX and let's be honest, probably the quickest car I will ever own, manual or auto :D
