    Remember The Whimpering Death Of The Old Acura NSX?
    Photo Credit: Acura It’s easy to think of the NSX existing only as it did in the early ‘90s, with Ayrton Senna giving the car a wash, or Ayrton Senna helping fine-tune the chassis, or Ayrton Senna thrashing the car on track while wearing loafers.
