Doug's Take

The original Acura NSX is a legendary sports car that boasts a high-revving, mid-mounted V6, exotic styling, and fantastic handling. This particular NSX features the highly desirable 5-speed manual transmission, and it's finished in eye-catching Formula Red. It also has a few nice upgrades like wheels from a later-year NSX and an aftermarket exhaust system. Plus, this NSX is offered with an extensive documented service history and a clean, accident-free Carfax report, for added peace of mind.
