Ron Marchini all the way from Clearwater, FL has been working on this one-of-a-kind 2000 Acura NSX for two years. His main focus was to build a functional car that he could take to the tracks to compete with newer sportscars, all while maintaining show quality.
When Ron originally purchased the car in Rhode Island, the Comptech supercharger already installed made one unforgettable ride back to Florida. Ron added CCW Classics, worked on improving the horsepower, Brembo brakes, and Comptech suspension; recent upgrades include a new front lip from Shine. Ron also plans to get a TypeR hood to boost the downforce and widen the front fenders. Ron Marchini spent a lot of time, money, and effort as he pushed to get the results he was looking for. His most used site for parts during this build was Science of Speed. And, with an exquisite outcome like this, it's no wonder Ron doesn't intend on building anything else in the near future.
Dream Car and Why?: "The LFA, because I think it represents the best car that Japan has to offer...just like in 1991 when the NSX was released."
