From the Archive: 1994 Acura NSX is a fighter jet for the road:
"It's so precise in its responses . . . as if it were hard-wired into my cerebellum.""A breakthrough sports car . . . now in its fourth year and still at the cutting edge."testers are unanimous: the NSX is our top choice for pure driving pleasure.
Fast, but not a record setter. Several other exotics have more power and put more rubber on the road. But remember that these are test-track numbers, limits-of-the-envelope readings obtained with the driver at full alert and plenty of runoff room to catch the histrionics. Track numbers say nothing about usable performance. Exotics are notoriously tricky to drive, and street-usable performance is typically well below the track numbers. Except for the NSX. This machine is so honest and predictable in its responses that most of its track performance is also useful performance. Out in the world, the NSX's no-sweat capabilities top the charts.Also against the NSX is the perception that it lacks intensity. There's a half-truth here.
Like all wide-tired cars without power steering, turning effort is high. Until the tires begin to roll. Then the workout fades to amazing precision. You get feedback without kickback. Most staffers mention the steering in their first paragraph of NSX superlatives. They exclaim over the view out the windshield too. Honda designers worked to a very specific motif when they drew up this car—the F-16 fighter jet. They imagined the panorama that opens to the pilot, out through the bubble canopy and over the drooping nose. They tried for that same sensation in the NSX. Oh, yes; oh, yes. An F-16 for the road.
