1999 Acura NSX Alex Zanardi Edition

this suggestion has people so split lol

there’s one side that’s like:

“oh it has custom rims and it’s not a targa, that’s different”

and then there’s:

“bro I can just change the rims and paint and that’s the car ingame”

wikipedia says
“ The Zanardi Edition was similar to the Japanese market NSX Type S. Visible differences between the Zanardi Edition and the Type S were the Zanardi’s left-hand drive configuration, black leather and suede seats with red stitching, airbag-equipped Acura steering wheel, and a brushed-aluminium plaque with an engraved Acura logo, Zanardi’s signature, and a serial number on the rear bulkhead. Total vehicle weight was reduced by 149 pounds (68 kg) as compared to the NSX-T, through the use of a fixed roof, lighter rear spoiler, single pane rear glass, lightweight BBS alloy wheels, a lighter battery, and a manual rack-and-pinion steering system in place of the electric power steering.[33]

i mean you could say the 1992 nsx-r was a modified stock nsx which it is
and you could get it by just painting your nsx white and adding the 5 spoke new wheels

and literally adding weight distribution to it too

and adjusted gearing, and upgraded suspension & brakes, and higher build quality, and small aerodynamic modifications, there’s a reason why its a trim above

with how similiar it is to a base model nsx though there’s also a reason why we dont have multiple of these in cc2

the alex zanardi edition also had some mechanical changes like manual rack and pinion instead of electric assisted steering
which means improved handling

i wish people suggested stuff because they wanted it in game and not because they wanted to hold the title of “i suggested this!”

and not only that i wonder why i suggested other tiny variants of other cars (911 gt1 evo nsx type s zero and the yellow 3000gt special edition) nobody bothered to complain about that

2 Likes

i mean thats what i did with the other nsx-gts
i actually wanted a super gt car ingame so i suggested those

2 Likes

i only commented on it because other people started talking
if I don’t want a topic to get attention I leave it alone to die instead of getting active
however, people started chatting on this so I decided to put in my 2 cents

good point

this stuff was either not ingame at the time or was actually noticably different from the different cars that were suggested

it was cool for the first couple nsx-gts but it got repetitive af because they all look practically the same other than “oh this one has a panel that goes in instead of out even though you’ll never notice the difference because of lighting”
