``We C/D testers are unanimous: the NSX is our top choice for pure driving pleasure. ... 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.''

``Induction sound segues from a subdued purr to a series of sharp, honking pulses, which meld into one of the most mellifluous mechanical symphonies of all time - almost as if someone slipped in the soundtrack of a recent German Grand Prix into the NSX.''

``...sounds for all intents and purposes like an F1 car with a silencer.''
