HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH ah god.. Whew... lemme catch my breath.....

Ahhhh... to be Young.


I made $120k a year at age 22 and couldn't take on an NSX payment. I couldn't take on a Supra TT payment.
 
whod buy a nsx if they could afford a lambo?? nobody. ferrari 360's go for around 200-275k depending if you want to be put on the waiting list or not. Markup is a bitch. The nsx is in a totallly different price range than ANY ferrari or lambo.... great comparison tho..
 
the NSX is the orriginal RICE car

its a sportscar dressed up like a supercar, costing double what a sportscar does, with half the capability of a supercar.

its as much of a poser mobile as the fucking H2

OH SNAP!! :ph34r:
 
The NSX is the techno answer to the Corvette - Only it took over 10 million dollars to develop a V6 that can do what a V8 does.

The NSX was a great exercise to show off what a car company could do - But that's it.
 
Damn, a lot of bias towards status in this thread. Fact is the NSX out performs a LOT of "supercars", I guess it's unfortune for it that Honda made it.

I would have, but I wasn't a position financially to drop 20G's cash, it was a private sale :(

that sucks, maybe down the road you be able to find another one, they are a fun car to drive.
 
I know a guy with a Lambo.

$1200 for spark plugs and wires.



NSX is a nice car but it's priced about 40K too high. If it came with a SC and made at min 350HP it would be a much better buy but when people look at the car on paper it's a over priced piece of honda.
 
P.S I forgot to add I believe honda has kept making the NSX so it could run it as a production car on the track.

Sounds like it's time to bring out the new one so honda can replace the track NSX with the newer track cars.

I think the simple fact that it even made it into these test says worlds about it, especialy when it cost up to 10+ times less than some of them.
