The suspension was soft, pitch and dive under hard braking (on a street... not even on track)

The brakes were... yea... brakes....

Don't know how to describe it.... The car didn't feel "tight and responsive", like it was a good car don't get me wrong, but it wasn't a "god" car....

I think a huge problem was my self, I had unrealistic expectations.... it was one of those never meet your heros moments... was not jaw dropped amazed, and I think anything below that was not acceptable to me loool

I thought it was gonna be on par with the F355/F360 (I never had a chance to drive those loool), but I did had a chance to rev a F355... my god....
If you get a chance to drive a F355 then you might be more disappointed, because the NSX is a better car according to car magazines and car reviewers back then. I never got a chance to drive an F355 so I personally can't say anything about it.
