The best part about the 1st gen NSX is that it will do all the stuff so eloquently described in the video...and it will do it basically forever. We have 300,000 miles on our 'vanilla' 92 NSX. Two weekends ago we drove it 9 hours to Daytona, flogged it for 3 days on the DIS road course, and then drove it 9hrs back home. The only things I did to the car: adjust tire pressures and check the oil a couple of times.

3 years ago I drove a Ferrari 458 spider. A week after that drive I drove a manual 1990 NSX. I had the best time and couldn’t believe how incredible it was despite the memory of the 458 being fresh in my mind. Heck I reckon I probably had a little more fun in the NSX. So yeah… it’s that good. I can only imagine how great the NSX-R is.

@SmallBlogV8

If the account given in _The Road Rat_ (whose articles are generally very well researched) is to be believed, then Senna drove a prototype around Suzuka once, during a break in an F1 private test day with McLaren-Honda. He told Uehara-san the structure felt fragile and the suspension needed sharpening up, then hopped back in his new MP4/5 for the rest of the day. Then, Honda went to the Nürburging with their own F1 driver, Satoru Nakajima, and spent months doing laps and strategically welding aluminium bracing onto parts of the chassis they thought would improve it, with Nakajima's feedback as guidance and further analysis on their Cray supercomputer. The result of this work was a 50% gain in structural rigidity and better suspension behaviour. So, Senna gave feedback and that feedback truly helped shape the final product, yes... but it would be disingenuous for anyone to suggest he was involved on a deep level or on a regular basis throughout development. Nakajima (in the late stages at least) and Honda's own engineers did most of the heavy lifting. But explaining all of that accurately doesn't sound snappy enough to help sell cars.

@@SmallBlogV8 Its often hard to separate the truth from the mix of marketing, myth and disinformation that surrounds legendary cars like the NSX and especially when you combine it with legends like Senna. I did see a somewhat reliable account of Ayrton Senna expressing reluctance towards the involvement with the NSX, that he told Honda he wasn't suited towards development of road cars. With that in mind it does reinforce the story of him doing the bare minimum with some test drives and comments out of obligations towards Honda, I believe those accounts. He had his own goals in mind, he was committed to winning F1 races and wanted to work with his team and his car rather than be involved and distracted with road car development.

Short circuits of 1 min lap times are not the tracks for the NSX gearing and engine happiness.
