Default '91 Acura NSX

So for part 2 of my photoshoots in Indy is my friends 1991 Acura NSX. Unfortunately he rarely drives it, lucky for me he felt like taking it out after the 500 so I was able to do another quick shoot while in town. I understand now why he doesn't drive it, it is perfect, absolutely flawless with 25k original miles. If he drives it another 10k miles it loses something like 70% of its value. It's been lowered and has '97 wheels on it, but he has all the original stuff in the garage. C&C please.

Nice car and nice plates! Any interior shots?

I'm not the type of person to hold off driving a car cos of its value to someone else down the track.

I'd be driving that sucker and enjoying it myself.

I'm the same way and so is he, he's trying to sell it to buy a 911 Turbo that he'll drive.

I didn't do any interior shots, just not something I think about doing that often.

I think that's probably my favorite of the set, it's very clean, probably because there were a lot of different colors and everything reflects off the black so it hides the car more, with the b+w you can really see the car.

Tell your friend to simply disconnect the speedometer, electric or not. It won't rack up any more miles.

I'd drive the wheels off of it, screw the value. It would be my daily driver.

It's funny how back in the day, sports cars came with 17" wheels. Now they come with 19" or 20"s.

What a gem this car is. Nice shots of it.

Thats not true, mint 91 NSX with 25k miles is worth around $30-35k. If the same car had 35k miles it would only be worth around $2-3 less assuming the condition is still perfect.


Beautiful pictures .

1991-93 NSXs came with 15 fronts and 16 rears, 94-01 with 16/17 and 2002-05 with 17/17.
