The Honda NSX revolutionized how we view supercars. In 1990 the NA1 NSX took on Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche and WON. The NSX was even the inspiration for the McLaren F1! Watch as I tell the secret tale of one of the greatest Japanese cars EVER made.

"Today it looks quaint, but that's because you're looking at it through the lense of every car it made possible" perfect quote
That's like a young Jeremy Clarkson talking.
True.
"Quaint my A**." Give me an NSX or any other super-car right now and I would go for the NSX. It has held what it came to do. Also, can be modified to do more.
It doesn't look quaint at all.
I'm pretty sure Nissan did it first though. It looks an awful lot like the MID4
It's an iconic car that aged very well. Still better looking than most cars in 2022
Yeah, that's because it wasn't overly designed, it was minimalist and simplistic.
It even looks better than most new Hondas
lol bmw grill
@@bjorn3923 ngl, the new civic looks good, thank god they backed up instead of double down from the design of the last civic which looked like a fucking beyblade
@@kryse4806 lol wth are you smoking lately? the last previous Honda Civic looked the best, it was so stylish, aggressive & very sporty
Now the new one looks bland boring, & ugly, no personality at all, Honda needs to rethink twice on what they've been doing lately, their cars been losing personalities
OMG, the memories. My buddy bought one off of a retired couple. 1992 Acura NSX with the 5 speed Manual. It sat in their garage for 12 years. He handed him $25,000 in cash because it only had 12,000 miles on it. After two years of building it, it was a monster. Since he owned a machine shop, he built his own 90 mm turbo. He built his own titanium exhaust system. He even fabbed his own hubs so that he can tuck a 325 rear tire. Put some Lambo hinges on it and painted it in what looks like Vantablack with blacked out windows and did Tan English Leather on the Interior with double satin stitching. It was an absolutely gorgeous car. $25,000 for the car and $50,000 in upgrades. It was the fastest car I've ever driven. It would rocket to 100 mph in no time flat, it was like it never stopped accelerating. We took it to Sears Point in Sonoma and it was just easy to drive, superfast, responded amazingly under braking. This guy in the paddock walked up to him and offered him $450,000 and he sold it right then an there. We got a rental car and drove home and my buddy was heartbroken. He made a ton of money but was sad to not be able to drive it ever again.
Edited for typos
That’s a really awesome story. Ty for sharing.
Would love to see a photo of it
$450,000? Really ?

Fun fact: The maclaren F1 was going to be based on the porsche 911, until the NSX came out, then it became the inspiration.
1000% wanna do an F1 vid!
I need a source for that
@@dr.science_0177 he actually did a video on it
Bullshit, the mclaren f1 LM were built in honour for the mclaren f1 gtr that conquered le man, LM literally standing for Le man. The F1 GTR was a pure race car not a 3L 6cl. The f40 already existed and trounced the nsx. You can dream all you like but the mclaren f1 LM and f1 gtr were not inspired by the nsx
@@__The-Official-Real-Obama__ The original F1 was inspired by the NSX. And considering the F1 GTR and the F1 LM are variants of the original F1, then the F1 GTR and the F1 LM technically were inspired by the NSX too (at some degree at least)
As an owner of a 91 for over 17 years, I greatly appreciate the effort you put into this.
So glad I could do your car justice! Congrats!
Give your car a kiss for me.
Honda will always be ahead of competition!
I dont really like cars i orefer motorcycles but HOT DAMN is this car beautiful! Hope you enjoy driving it sir
Im 19 and its my dream car
I will never forget one night while I was driving, a decked out NSX followed by a Supra overtake me like I was parked. I was doing a decent 140kph. That is the only moment I felt happy being overtaken. I cannot wipe the my smile off my face for hours
If that happened to me I would've hit the gas and joined.
@@lordpumpkinhead265 he clearly couldn’t keep up m0ron
@@Dontdoitguy If your car tops out at 140kph you're driving an actual hazard to society with how slow that goes.
@@Dontdoitguysometimes when you marvel at something great you don't feel the desire to join in, but just admire the momentary beauty

Honda really have shown some incredible feats of engineering in their cars and bikes over the years.
yea, especially the oval 4 cylinder that performed like a v8

There’s an NSX parked outside someone’s house on my route to school every day. The first time I saw it I did a double take. A few days after I got my license and had began driving myself to school, I drove by the house, parked my car and and stared at the NSX for a solid 5 minutes. They’re absolute beauties and are rare gems around where I live.
Cool. Mine is literred with hatch's and suv's everywhere and maybe a few germam luxury cars
I saw an nsx the other week after getting picked up from school, they’re stunning to see & still quite modern looking today
@@SpeeDemon2005 I think the modern cars just can't compare in looks. Most of them anyway. Even the good looking ones are bulky it seems.
@@mojebi3804 Yes, and they have gone up in weight by about 50% due to all the new safety measures, but they do work. No more roof breaking your neck because the front pillar was pushed back on impact bringing the roof down on you, or steering wheel shoving you through the roof ( I knew a guy who survived that in a semi!) Seems odd the metal is so thin yet the cars survive much mor3e investigating accidents and people walk away. But the NSX was lighter yet stronger and stiffer, and that transfers into a lot of fun, as did the variable valve tech, man that was a great idea, and it saves gas to boot.
I remember me being 15 playing grand turismo, always loved the nsx. One day going to school walking past a random garage I saw a nsx parked in the corner covered in dust, I remember I just froze stared at it for ages I was soo happy just to have the car around my presence.
"You have to imagine that in a few garages in Italy among prototype Ferraris and Lamborghinis an NA1 NSX sits under wraps. A stark reminder to those that make fast cars to never rest on their laurels." Man...you have such a *car beep* way with words!
A poet and I didn't even know it.
He be spittin 😂
Except that that NSX sits in NSW Australia not Italy....
@@microwave-vh2uc I'd imagine they produced more than one NSX...
The end gave me chills.
When I was in high school the NSX and Supra were a “reasonable” price at like $25k-$30k (09-12) and now they’re worth so much more now. Sad. I remember seeing NSXs often too in my area. Now I never see them anymore and that also makes me sad.
Instead of creating new why not revive it i knew that there is new acura nsx but that 1990 nsx was so great than the new nsx
Sad sad
Back in 1999 I was shopping for Supra the used car dealer had a white NSX he tried to talk me into buying. I left that dealership and went on to buy a 95 Supra which I sold years later for 13K. I wish I kept it. Back in 1998-99 both cars could be found used in the 20K-30K range.
It took a decade for a car to transit from daily enthusiast weapon to garage queen.
@@antoniocortezjr.7887 Safety. Honda would never be allowed to sell a 35 year old car today unless it had some major safety upgrades (which would add a lot of weight and make it not really the same car)
Honda didn’t break Supercars, they fixed them.
I still can't believe that this guy came out of nowhere and dropped a video of this quality. I absolutely love these videos and anxiously await more!
I found this channel literally today (5-Jan. 2023) and I went through all the videos with full attention and pleasure. Each one is a masterpiece of what RUclips can be. Incredible quality, research, and presentation. I sincerely hope he (they?) keeps it up consistently. If they/he does a video even monthly, this channel will hit 1 Mill subs without question. The amount of effort in each one must be tremendous!

Thank you so much, I'm just happy to be able to tell stories and teach people a little more about the cars we all love.

This video literally brought tears to my eyes at the Senna part. The GOAT driver driving the GOAT car. What an absolute masterpiece the NSX is.
yeah 90s was the best time,raw power
Stop dreaming dude, Senna's dream has always been to compete for Ferrari.
@@navsofour2892 Senna's dream was to drive for the team that had the better chance of earning him a championship. Hence why he even offered to drive free of charge to Williams in 93.
I miss Ayrton so much, so much…………….
……..
🤣HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAH the GOAT car? AAHAHAAAHHAHAHA you think the NSX is the GOAT? AAHAHAHHAAHAHAHAAHHAHAHH which would you take? A 1986 Porsche 959 or a 1990 NSX? If you chose the real GOAT you would put an extra $900,000 in your pocket...and be driving the actual GOAT car!
I'm not even a car guy and this video had me on the edge of my seat! Great storytelling!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah, the squidd tells a story like no other.
I'm not a car lover guy, I bought my first car at the age of 31, and I don't usually watch car videos on RUclips except F1 highlights because of my work, but you good sir, have made a very a video about a car that I've never heard before and made watch until end. You haven't just made a video, I can feel it behind the monitor that you've felt that story, you are in the story and you appreciate the story and the greatness. You got yourself a sub, mister
Wow thank you, I worked really really hard on the NSX piece, and I'm glad you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed making it!
Unfortunately it doesn’t even come close to telling the story in a historically accurate way.

The NSX looks amazing,
It is a great combination of elegance and sporty,
Even in 2022 looks modern.
There will never be a time in my life where i won't notice an NSX passing by. I honestly can't think of a car i'd rather have. The new NSX is not the old NSX but it's a sign of the times where everything is a half a million dollars.
The NSX was and still is such a great design. Timeless.
the NSX and S2000 are of the same breed. The emotion they exude, the necks they break, the smiles they create. Incredible feats of engineering that got to point B in a revolutionary manner. I own both and unpopular opinion, I enjoy driving my 09 GPW S2k more than my 96 NSX.
S2000 is definitely another car I wanna cover.
You should! I love my S2000. Endless revs, fantastic balance, convertible, and elegant styling inside with seats that grabbed you closer than any girl wrapped around you.
My father in law owned a S2000 for 14 years. He was a Honda employee at the Anna, Ohio engine plant. He got on a waiting list and nabbed the third S2000 in the state of Ohio the time. He passed away last year. I miss him, and that car😢 so much. He sold it years ago since he could no longer get in or out of it. I had three kids and couldn't afford to take it off his hands. I could now, grrrr.
I traded my S2000 for a black on black 1997 NSX .... Both fantastic cars cut from the same block ..... The engineered feel of both is the same ..... If they had no badges you'd know they came from the same place
@@the.squidd have you yet? Come drive mine. I am sure you will enjoy it. I'm in orange county, socal.
It isn't stock though. Still NA though.
NSX was the super car for people who wanted to drive their car and finish the races too 🙂
well said and possibly use it as a daily driver not just on the weekned.
NSX and 911s were the two reliable daily drivable sports-car if you didn’t like Ferraris 300 series. Tho they were Sportcars. I dont know why people confuse it with Supercars. Supercars were F40s, F1s and 959s.
just randomly found out this video by algorithm, and I feel like I found a goldmine. editing, storytelling, video sources… everything is just top tier. plus that beautiful engine rev at the end. Thanks to you, I now know much more about nsx and love the car more.
I’ve never commented in yt before, but you just made me do so. I really hope to see more from you.
That's just about the nicest comment I've ever received. Thank you so much for taking the time to give me your thoughts. I didn't know a lot about the NSX before I made this, so I'm glad I was able to learn about it and share it with you! I'll continue making content I promise!
Same here automatically subscribed after the video. Truly a Top Tier video, just wow amazing!
Wait…… he worked for RUclips before and 2 partners were in so he uses the same mic as before.
@@the.squidd amen. really good channel and videos
wow I didn't expected to see korean guy's comment here
I looked at 2 Honda NSX back in 2010. Drove both of em. Like in your video stated, you'd be amazed about how easy the average person can drive the NSX. I came across one again in 2015, it was a customer's car. The Lady was well in her 60s. I asked her about what she liked about the Honda. Her reply was simply: "it felt good, was affordable as a fast car and never let her down."
This guy can tell a story about a car in a way that makes you feel proud of it like you built the damned thing yourself.
Already more than a minute in the video and I have to say that this is great, it feels high quality. I thought, considering your subscriber account that I would be watching someone with a ultra-cheap mic. with mediocre editing skills, but I shouldn’t judge a book by its cover. Kudos to you sir, I will be looking forward to enjoying more of your content, and you… earned another sub.
Wow thank you for the kind words. I’ve been making video content in some shape or form for around 15 years, for other people. This is just my first time doing it for myself and it means a lot to hear your opinion. More to come!
Good content it is
Exactly what that guy said.
WTF, I misread and thought it was 1.4M subs, not 1.4k.....this is polished TV level of quality. Mind blown, keep this up and you'll be hitting that 1.4M sub count, in no time. 👍🏽
@@the.squidd would not have guessed its the first one, shout out to the Australian JDM plate at the very end, Text translates to “Japan's Domestic Market” 😁
As someone that is absolutely in love with the NSX, this is a masterpiece. Thank you.
Glad I could do it justice!
ditto that
VERY well made video, appropriate for a VERY well made car.
The music with that narration of the video just can't stop giving u goosebumps. Seriosuly man the music syncs so well with the video. It makes sense
The NSX styling is timeless.
Honda was involved in the Formula 1 since the mid 60s even before they made their first passenger car, and they were very good at it.
I have to say at that moment they are really driving to survive since if they does not do well they are going to be absorbed by the other company like Prince Motor that crated the GT-R Family into Nissan
Top tier video, one of the best ive seen on a NSX. Keep up the good work and you'll be going places my friend.
Wow, thank you! I will definitely keep putting out content like this. Stay tuned!

You absolutely should, did you make this yourself? Its excellent, just like the car itself!
I got to ride in one around 1992, it's such an incredible car. I've always had a special place in my heart for it. My first car was an 85 Prelude in 94 and the NSX was my dream car.
I'm so glad you have the Honda City the credit it deserved for paving the way to the NSX. I owned a city turbo 2 bulldog. It was amazing!
As someone that is absolutely in love with the NSX, this is a masterpiece.
Awesome story! Under 300hp was due to the Japanese gentleman’s agreement to push sports car experience without resorting to power. And you can’t forget about the Honda “S” series for their RWD vehicles
When you come out of a curve, you just push the pedal and don't have to worry. That made driving it fun.
It wasn't 276 as stated by the gentleman's aggrement it was 290
I think the NA2 was around the 290 mark. At least the original NSX wasn't over 280@@mayuravirus6134
ya'll believe any BS put in a videogame, huh?

"And with the help of one racing *Legend* "
Every Brazilian watching this had goosebumps...
No, everyone who knows racing... Senna is the goat.
It is really sad to see what is left of Honda today. Hope they can build something like this again to inspire people to the brand again
Honda still offers great racing cars like the Honda HSV, just that it is never commercially mass-produced.
Hondas are faster, torquier, more reliable, and fuel efficient than ANY time in its past. 🤣
Honda literally released a Civic Type R with near 1990s Formula 2 specs... 🤣
And they recently redesigned the NSX which looked amazing, but let's not talk about the rest of it. 🤣
Honda is one of the leaders in safety and reliability. I fail to see what you mean, honestly. 🤷🏽♂️
What he means is that emotion counts.... I saw the Prelude, Legend and NSX and immediately wanted A HONDA.
I don't want a Civic no matter the numbers. It has no emotional impact.
The new NSX is
Too complicated
Too expensive
Too tech heavy
It would sell more if it had no hybrid system, no turbos and was slower. Because it would be man and machine. Not man and fat computer
@@TheOkieLife Reliability not so much since ‘11z
Yep No Prelude, No CRX, the Integra only comes as a sedan and the new NXS is a corvette lite.
I used to work with a fellow some years back who was offered six figures cash on more than one occasion in the company parking lot for his NSX.
He turned it down every time.
What an absolute dime of a car. It’s still breathtaking to see one out and about.
So glad this came in my recommended. Honda is what got me into cars after a bit of curiosity in our old family car. I always loved their underdog mentality and willingness to compete with others.
They’re the Nintendo of cars. I love Honda.
This is the reason the 1990 NSX was so special, they put so much care and engineering into this car, while still being VERY competitively priced. The new NSX just doesnt feel anything like it and everyone already seems to have forgotten it even existed.
It's a overly priced hybrid V6 it's not gaining traction with those factors
90'~04' NSX is the only one that has ever existed. The newer ones should be called anything else but NSX.
Get with the times people its 2022 i would hope that car companies take advantage of and utilize modern technology when engineering new models. What do want for them to produce a modern day NSX using 90s technology, if so it will never compete with its competition for sale. You need the performance on par with otherwise it will see a very short lifespan.
it costed 10k less than a diablo.
One thing honda did to make the NSX handle better was to install special tires 100 tread wear, the standard is/was 500-700 tread wear
I just found your NSX video. Wow! What a terrific bit of work. I've owned my NSX going on twenty years in January. It is still one of the most remarkable cars ever made. You really captured key bits of its history. Nice job!
So glad I could do your car justice Steve! Thanks for watching!
Honda has become more of an engine company than all else. They're literally making ceramic engines in everything down to lawn mowers. The company prides its engines. That to me is part of what makes it a great company.
The NSX has been THE car of my dreams since I was old enough to even know what a car was. A close friend gave me an experience I'll never forget: getting to track his 1998 Acura NSX, with him in his Integra Type R right behind me. Well, you'd think right behind me, but he dog walked me. Much better driver than I am.
This is great stuff, coming from a '92 NSX owner. Honda did have RWD some sportscar experience going into this project, though. The S600 roadster came out in the 1960s. Nice job!
I was hoping someone , anyone also remembered the s600
Exactly. Hondas first car was a red sports car. Honda came from bike and car racing. True pedigree. I wish the video would have had more details on that, but instead pedals old myths that Honda only made econo cars up until the NSX
As a die hard Senna, Honda, NSX fan I thought I knew most of the story. You shed some more insight and I appreciate the legend even more.
Glad I could tell some of the story that hasn’t been told before. This is one of my favorite car development tales ever.
@@the.squidd I'm a simple guy: I see an homage to the legend, I leave a like! Nice job mate! =)

Awesome thanks! As a recent Honda convert (from a lowly Honda Fit!) I agree completely.
felt like I was travelling back in time with the way you tell the story. Mad props to you, man! all love
Love the vintage 80s footage, the history of how this great beauty was developed. Really great work with the vid buddy. One of my favorite videos of the NSX. Thankyou ! Best of luck for the future
Thank you so much for watching! Yeah I really loved diving into the old Honda commercials. They’re so quirky.
Honestly I cried from the way you tell the stories of these cars, I feel inspired.

I do thank you for responding though.
@@navsofour2892 Italian cars were always seen as the quick ones, no? Especially when compared to Honda.
If you were going to be rude and brash enough to call something "garbage", you could've at least added more reasons rather than write a paragraph of fillers. If you cared, you would've wrote objective critiques and not whatever you did write.
I miss my NSX still, I had to sell it due to hard times but it was by far the most perfect car I've ever driven. It handled so well and did not feel slow. It was never "fast" but it was "quick" for me.
I missed my Red 1995 NSX-T that I had SOLD in 2012 and bought a Gallardo. Thinking back, really regret doing that, Lambo biggest money pit ever!!
Thank you! Thank you! For this video! I knew Senna helped with the development of the NSX. But, not all the behind the scenes at the factory. Excellent job! Love your videos.

Great video

What are more cars like this?
Somehow I was expecting a longer video on this one, but I guess there's not much to say about the car that brought so many others to this plan of existence. Great job as usual!
Got chills at the end with the sound of the revs. one of the best short videos I've seen in years.
just found your channel and would have guessed you had about 100 times the amount of subs. Keep up the content like this and it will pay off!
Thanks Brycen! Glad I’m at least off to a good start!
literally didnt look at sub count til i saw comments. Agreed. Going nowhere but up with this kind of quality!! Cheers to the grind! #legendschangethegame
Still looks better than a lot of new cars on the road today .
Imagine Honda coming with a new master piece and start setting records . That would be a sight
Absolutely fantastic video, the soundtrack, the script and visuals are all amazingly well done. Everything down to the short clips of Japanese movies to bridge or pad segments. The entire thing had me captivated from start to finish. Stunning work.
Thanks Tom
The NSX is just like an R32 Skyline GTR or a mk4 Supra.
Old, not the best compared to todays cars, but still simply a legend.
yes, these 3 cars are pure legends, and there are the "Japanese National Treasures of Cars"
The point is that the NSX is not like those cars. The Nissan 300ZX & R32 Skyline GTR, the Mitsubishi 3000 GT, the Supra - all those are relatively conventionally built cars using twin turbos to overcome excessive weight. The aluminium chassis and body of the NSX meant it could be normally aspirated and use VTEC to rev to 9 creating sufficient horsepower to match anything from Japan and Europe. The NSX is unlike anything except the McLaren F1 just as the new NSX is like a cheaper Porsche 918 Spyder.
@@stevenfarrington2361You're 100% right with that but I'd still say that more non-car enthusiasts would still recognize a Supra or a GTR over an NSX, therefore they (for me personally as a non professional car lover ) are equal by status.
Those are sports cars though, the NSX is a supercar, not the same car at all when you have them side by side just saying.
The nsx was on another league compared to the gtr and supra of that era. Numbers alone, yes nsx was down on power but its engineering and formula was greater or even at par with the Italians that purely made supercars, just as the video stated. They decided to go head to head with them big boys and succeeded. If they wanted to just compete in their domestic market, they could have just made another front-engined car, slapped turbskie and just called it a day.
When a 15 min video makes you start liking a production company… you know the video is gold.
i wasnt meant to finish the whole video. but idk theres something on how you compiled and explained every detail of this 90s legend. awesome narration and video keep it up!
And people still bash Honda because of their ignorance.
Makes the victory that much sweeter when they lose to a little 4 banger. My buddies LS turbo integra looks like a beater but smokes evos and stis all day long just the other day we had some losers pull up next to us revving then were shocked when we blew passed them haha what a riot.
2:30 - I actually had a signed picture of Mike Thackwell - Ron Tauranac and the rest of the team .. Thackwell was QUICK!
Looking forward to more videos! Great job 👏🏻
🤜🤛
Love it. Looks better to me, than most other sports cars out there. Neither boring, nor dull, but just right. Awesome form and design.
I just found your videos this last week, and I have been bingeing them all. All among the best documentaries on RUclips. Not just car docs, all docs
🤜🤛
the nsx is my all-time favourite car and this video is a treat, good job!
Thanks friend!
I'm sorry to say the but the car still has the most beautiful body...no car is equal to that slick low body today....is simple ageless, the perfect form. If any car will be launched with that body I will buy it right now!

In my sixty plus years, it's one of the most important vehicles of all time. Like the W-124, it didn't just re-set the bar, it changed the course of the entire industry. I can remember the stunned silence from Europe. Deafening.
One day I suddenly saw a LFA video of this channel popup in my feed, knew nothing about the LFA. While I was watching it, I got mulitple goosebumps. Now Im a fan of this channel. I hope THE SQUIDD will maintain this video quality alltime, please don't rush while making such art's like this..."Good things take time" you know :)
Awesome! Thank you so much, so glad you found us. We definitely do not rush anything here as indicated by our recent lack of posting... nervous laughter
I absolutely love this style of video. Keep up the amazing the amazing work!
the nsx is timeless. just an absolute gorgeous car.
I don't normally (possibly ever) comment on YT but this video, and your GTR one are both absolutely great, really well produced and really informative. PLEASE keep making content!
I will! Thanks for commenting!
Truly a beautiful video 🙌🏼
This was amazing! Brand new respect for the original NSX, i always knew it was a great looking car and it was quick but i never stopped to think about just how honda went out and made that beauty. Thank you for making this!
My pleasure. Thanks for watching!
I saw the GT-R video first. "Oh, I must see this guys other content, this is amazing!"
only one other video.
Dude, this is amazing, these feel like proper short documentaries with how insanely well they are produced! I can't wait to see what you have in store next!
Glad you liked them! This is definitely the quality and style I wanna maintain here so stay tuned for more!
Same for me 😘
Great video mate 😊. I enjoyed it 😁
Fantastic video, good job!
Hate to say it but the algorithm reads minds now. I was just thinking about the NSX. BOOM.
Great work man! The NSX truly was a game changer. My dad had one and it got me hooked on cool cars.
Nice what year?
Another great video man. Keep it up. You will be one of the biggest car channels on RUclips if you keep this up
This was absolutely electrifying to watch. I love the narrative. The editing styles. The high quality augmented vibe of presentation. You my friend are extremely talented and have definitely done due diligence to that legend of a car that is the NSX. My personal favorite is the FDRX7 and have never really been the biggest advocate for Honda but this piece here really made me resonate and admire the story. Amazing work. You’ve earned yourself another sub from 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲. Work like this is undoubtedly worthy of the publics watch time
Thanks so much Kyle!
The Japanese honestly are the best engineers and automotive manufacturers ❤️
Bro, when I see an NSX on the street I don’t give it a second glance. I stand and salute until it glides out of sight. Greatest car ever built. Thanks for the clip

Was at a garage today. They had the old model NSX parked there. That was a 'holy shit' moment for me.
amazing video,had a large smile on my face for 15min straight, thank you 🔥
I am so glad I watched this video. Amazing. I didn't think I could be excited by a car I know so much about already, but here we are. Simply wonderful video
I've owned 3 Mk2 MR2s and the NSX never goes unnoticed.
They are legacy.
everything in this video is absolutely amazing. from the production to footage compiled, nothing comes short. you've earned a sub. keep up the great work! i'm excited to find out what's in store next :D
Stay tuned!
Keep making those videos! I love them
This video made me emotional, you've earned a subscriber !
Absolutely fantastic front to end, drew me in and held me there the entire time. With a decreasing attention span as the days go on, this was a true breath of fresh air.
Glad it was worth your time! Stay tuned for more!
What a banger of a video! The amazing oldschool footage, storytelling, editing, music and sound effects... That all very well put together. Nice work!👍
Greetings from Germany
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it! Hello from Seattle!
Another great video. Love it.
This is perfect, thank you so much!
This little history lesson got me pretty emotional toward the end. Great editing man, i thought you had at least 60k subscribers while I was watching this.
One day!
