The NSX is a classic car that everyone around the world knows and loves. The street car version doesn’t have a ton of power, but it does handle like a dream. Taking a NSX, adding more power, and making it into a race car is guaranteed fun and excitement. When I first started tuning this car I had a lot of problems with it, but could tell it was going to be really awesome once it was finished. The back would slide out like crazy and it would oversteer a lot. After some changes it had stopped oversteering, but started understeering now. I had to rethink my approach. I managed to adjust everything I could until it was where I wanted it. The longer part was adjusting the LSD, which I couldn’t get just right. Finally, after a lot of attempts I got the tune I wanted. It handles great, is pretty quick, and can still scare the hell out of you. Just watch out for small sharper turns as the back can still get away from you. However, with more time practising throttle control you should get the hang of it quite quickly.
