Acura Nsx Supercharged on 2040-cars
Rancho Palos Verdes, California, United States
Original owner with a one of a kind 96 Acura NSX with only 9,000 miles on NEW 3.2 liter engine, coupled to a 2.3-liter Comptech supercharger, a custom Laminova intercooler fed by GMC heater cores up front, accompanied by a Koyorad racing radiator. Rock-solid IATs and despite powerful supercharging, never any heat soak. All engineered to run like stock... until stomped on. Then--warp speed. 430 rear-wheel HP, producing awesome acceleration. (We suspect low 4's, perhaps high 3's;) full Brembo GT1 racing brake package with e-brake. Included along with these mechanicals: the exquisite Japanese OEM 5-gear set (what the car was originally designed with), Comptech headers, Taitec light-weight exhaust, modified engine cover, custom fabricated rear subframe brace . Additionally, SSR-GT1 light alloy wheels (17" front, 18" rear with 215/40R17, 275/35R18 Yokohamas to handle extra HP) and Dali anti-roll bars. Over $5000 spent 1K miles ago on suspension refurb replacing all shocks, knuckles, tie rods, etc. with brand new OEM.

2013 Acura ZDX
Wed, 09 Oct 2013What Is, What Could Have Been, And What May Yet Be
History is largely unkind to losers. That's true in the world of politics and sports, and it follows on with a few caveats in the realm of automobiles.
In terms of cars, historic losers tend to be remembered in one of two broad ways. Every once in a while, unsuccessful or oddball models actually make reputational gains after some time away from the new-car marketplace. I consider the Saab 9-2X one of the recent poster children for this group; a car that moved like molasses on dealer lots in the mid-2000s but has morphed into a sort of hard-to-find, used gem in recent years. More often, though, that which was unloved when new remains unloved with tens or hundreds of thousands of miles on the odometer. Pontiac's seriously misunderstood Aztek has king status here (despite the wailings of oddball fan clubs across the nation), so much so that invoking "Aztek" as a pejorative stopped being pithy about a dozen years ago.

J.D. Power study sees new car dependability problems increase for first time since 1998
Wed, 12 Feb 2014For the first time since 1998, J.D. Power and Associates says its data shows that the average number of problems per 100 cars has increased. The finding is the result of the firm's much-touted annual Vehicle Dependability Study, which charts incidents of problems in new vehicle purchases over three years from 41,000 respondents.
Looking at first-owner cars from the 2011 model year, the study found an average of 133 problems per 100 cars (PP100, for short), up 6 percent from 126 PP100 in last year's study, which covered 2010 model-year vehicles. Disturbingly, the bulk of the increase is being attributed to engine and transmission problems, with a 6 PP100 boost.
Interestingly, JDP notes that "the decline in quality is particularly acute for vehicles with four-cylinder engines, where problem levels increase by nearly 10 PP100." Its findings also noticed that large diesel engines also tended to be more problematic than most five- and six-cylinder engines.
