As far as which is the best year NSX, it really depends on what you intend to do. If you want more of a track style car and plan to modify the car heavily, I highly recommend a ‘91 or ‘92. They are the lighest models by far as well as the least expensive. They still have non-powered steering so it has great road feel but loses some luxury touches. I would avoid the ‘95-’96 because they are heavier because they added the “T” top feature. However, the chassis and engine are the same as the ‘91-’92 so they are slower and have more body flex.

If you are going to turbo the 3.0L engine of the ‘91 to ‘92 engine will be fine. However, if you plan on keeping it N/A you may want to consider the ‘97+ where they switched to the 3.2L engine. If you are looking for something more refined, the ‘02+ models upgraded some cosmetic effects (liked the fixed headlights vs. flip ups), but are a bit more expensive. You should be able to get a moderate milage ‘91 for around $25K, but the ‘02+ will be more than double that.
