Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Change of taste in the V8/Flat 12

[akydakyx (akydakyx]

brian is correct.  the difference between 91/92 and later is simply alignment 
specs.  they do make a tubi for nsx (as well as a dozen or two other 
manufacturers so you can pick opne based on sound) and i have one.  bought it 
from Karl Troy.  what really makes the difference sound wise are headers.  i 
run the oem 16/17 bridgestones.  they are corner specific and were designed for 
the car.  so far i have gotten about 15k out of each set of rears.  i have 
never driven a prelude or an accord but if it drives like my nsx i want one.  i 
bought it b/c i wanted a car i could drive to work and track with nothing more 
than changing tires.   go drive one and then lets see what you think.  that's 
what sold me.  driving it.

The rear alignment problem was in 91/92 and has since ben taken care 
of.  Not a problem mechanically, but a choice by the manufacturer to 
extract maximum handling.  The new 350Z's have the same issues, I 
believe mainly with the front tires ...
