1996 Acura NSX-T 14.3 1/4 mile (50k USED) 2003 Nissan 350z 14.0 1/4 mile (26k NEW) I accept the fact that the NSX is unique, but man when a Z stock can beat it, NEW and its half the price. I could never justify buying an NSX.

We have been around this block already. But if you actually Drove the NSX for the day, Then the Z, I already know the answer you'd come up with. More than a year after purchase I Still get excited getting into that car. ( Everything else I have ever owned the excitement wore off after a month ) The car is fast enough, there is no lag, and I get 50 mph in first gear.
(off topic) In case you hadn't noticed there is a BIG housepower war going on. Pontaic GTO is comming out with 300 hp ( and it's a $hit car)......For the money it should be better built. GM has just announced that Pontiacs are no longer going to be racing along side of Chevy. They are pulling the GTP's out of racing, and have no intention of racing the GTO (for the near future anyways). Its a shame. (further off topic)..... I Love America, We are one of the youngest countries of the world and the Greastest country in the free world. We are also the innovators of the free world! That said, How come we no longer build the best mass produced car in the world? We did right up through the 1980's! Sure, we car build a car thats fast, But it brings a tear to my eye to look at the Consumer Reports Buying guide. In the Worst Used Car guide in the top 28 cars All but 4 are made in America. They Then go on by make and model. No acuras made the list, No Toyotas and just one Honda (passport). WE can do better! WE SHOULD do better! It should be a matter of national pride! We taught the japanese how to build a better car, We KNOW how to do it! So, Why aren't we? It is not the auto workers, many of these Japanese cars are now made HERE! What do we do? We send much our work Elseware! The Buick Rendezvos is entirely made in Mexico! When the American automaker Starts building better cars, I will start buying them. Sadly, I own 4 Honda products.....I'd rather buy American, But show me you care first. ( He kicks his soapbox aside ). |

the nxs-r is something too... a group of people took it out to the track and compaired the times... it was almost 2 seconds faster than the 575 and a half a second faster than a 360 ferrari... keep in mid it was the same driver on the same WET ground... rather have a ferrari? ill take the nsx-r which is about 110,000 (yeah its a lot but about half the price of the 360)
The point is that the nsx was not meant to be a drag racing car... its handling is meant for the track... i have loved it ever since my friend took me in one n drove 75 down a mountain |

If some of you jus want speed, why even buy a car? Just get a sport bike. Those freakin fly. I agree though. The NSX is badass, plain and simple.

Re: Why would you want to buy an NSX (Seriously)
Why the fuck would anyone spend 7k for a flywheel? Or a clutch? I love CRXs and if I put 7k in a CRX HF you could be damn sure that after I got a B18C5 with I/H/E that I would be running mid-low 13s! And I would have even started to reach the price of anything weve discussed or the potential of the engine I just put in.

Re: Why would you want to buy an NSX (Seriously)
The NSX is like a ferrari, sexy looking bastard that can go fast.
You want really fast on a straight line, go with HB or a v8 mustang and mod the shit out of them. Its like arriving in a casino with a 13 sec NSX or with a 11 second civic, ill go with the NSX.

Hi there. You are comparing too wide a range of cars here. Lambo's and Subaru's as alternatives?? Come on..they are not even in the same category for most serious NSX buyers. We need to stay focused. I am an NSX owner, but not a crazed one. I recognize that the car is way overdue for an update, and not really worth spending $90,000 on a new one when you can get a used one for half of that that looks that same and performs the same. But what you need to understand is that the NSX is quite simply a car that is for a select group of people. Sure, there are cars costing $25,000 that can out accelerate it. Sure, a new Porsche can be had for that much and you can impress your friends by bragging that you bought a new Porsche, but that is not the point of the NSX. The NSX is a car for a select group of people that want to own a car that revolutionized the automotive world when it came out, and caused Porsche, Ferrari, and the like to finally take notice of the fact that the Japanese can build a supercar if they want to that can beat the best from Europe, and be reliable and affordable to maintain. Do not let yourself get caught up in straight out acceleration, lateral-G, or top speed figures. Go out and drive an NSX for an entire day and then tell me what you think. Because until you do, you have not experienced what an NSX is about. It is not the fastest. It is not the most modern with gadgets. But it is one heck of a performance car. It may not be for you, which is fine. It definitely works for me.

1991 NSX $29k USED (same motor as the '96 NSX-T) 2003 350Z $29k NEW (the one here is actually over $32k) So, for roughly the same money, which would you take? The 350Z or the NSX? Just think about it for a bit. You still may take the 350Z, but I for one would enjoy the NSX experience more.
