nsx or m3?

Ok, so I drive a 99 M3 and I love it a lot. It's the best all around car, but the nsx just looks sooo sweet. The m3 looks sweet too, but a red nsx looks like a true sports car. How fast are nsx's? Since I have a 99 w/27K I would be looking at early models of the nsx. Thanks for the help.

They're around the same performance figures as your M3. Between 280-290hp. And I agree with you on the looks. If you want to go faster still there are superchargers, and a whole array of performance parts you can purchase for the NSX. Be lucky Honda makes it, because you know there is a slue of crap for it.

Good Luck!:cool:

there really not comparable at all.......the m3 is meant to be a touring coupe that has all the comforts taht you could want along with the speed and handling abilty.....The NSx expsesialy in the earlier years is a no bs true sports car.....yeah there are leather seats but you wont find half of the computer assists that your M3 has.....having driven an M3 once i dont know why you would want to sell it......its the sweetest car i have ever been in.....i cant speek for the NSX cause i have never driven one but the thing sure as hell looks good....i dont think that you can go wrong either way......its a honda so even for a sports car its goin to last forever and be able to be driven hard day after day.......keep the M3 and get a NSX for the weekends.....sounds like a waste but go for it

yah...going with what Ryan said, for practicality reasons, you should keep the M3.

If you have another beater car to keep you okay, take the NSX.

buy a good cheap beater and get the NSX! the m3 is a phat car, but the the nsx to me is an exotic.

or still better yet sell your house by the smallest cheapest trailer you can find and then buy two of each car

That's going to be quite expensive...:rolleyes:

i vote nsx.. although the keeping one and getting the other was a good idea... if you can bank it..

I have to say NSX. I've had 2 E36 M3's in the past and I love the cars. But the NSX is soooo much more fun to drive. I love this car. Never had any problems with it, and it attracts soo much attention. Only downside is the cost to mod it, it's expensive to fix(aluminum body), and its under appreciated.
Good Luck

i would go for the m3! i dont know y, maybe cause i am a sedan fan!

that's funny what ryan said, live in trailer to get a nice car. that's what my friend is actually doing, she's living in trailer so she can get a viper. but as for the nsx and m3, from what i know, the nsx have no problem smoking a m3 in the 1/4 both running stock.

M3 is a coupe; albeit w/ 4 seats.

The M3 comes in coupe and 4dr sedan.

haha my NSX finally gave it's first break down. The car is a 1992, and after redlining it from san diego to los angeles a coolant hose in the engine bay leaked. Not bad considering it never been to the dealer once and raced ocassionally for a few years. I was suppose to replace the hose 7 years ago, but I figured if it ain't broke dont' fix it. Guess it's time for me to replace them all.

Go for the NSX! I'm going from a 2002 540i to a new NSX toward the end of the year. My bmw is ok but I grew bored of it quickly. It's a nice car but lets face it, no matter how well a bmw performs, they will never LOOK like a sports car. I feel like I'm driving my grandpa's car and I don't think much different about the M series. The front view on any bmw is incredible but that's where it ends - no curves or character to the body, except for the Z4 but anyone can get one of those. I thought it would be a good cross between sport car/practical car. It turned out to be a little too practical (boring). My old 80' Z28 used to turn more heads! Plus, I see bmw's everywhere in my city. Kind of takes the pump out of owning one.

Why would you even compare??? For the cost of a decent NSX you can have an E46 M3. Mine gets all the looks, and can back it up when it comes time to line them up - as a former service manager for an acura,jaguar,porsche,lexus,mercedes dealer, I can tell you from experience that an NSX is all show and no Go!! For the same money new, a 911 cleans it up. It handles better, accelerates better, and just is better. (by the way what car are they always comparing to the 911???---the e46 m3!!) You call it, but id rather drive my m3 anyday over a rich-mans civic (NSX)

Like a rich-mans Volkswagon Bug (911) :cwm27:

ok boostin, heres the deal, if theres any question in your mind at all which car to get, then you aint ready to get the NSX, and leave that gem for a fanatic.

blitzkrieg, im really glad you dont own an NSX, id feel so bad for that car under your abuse and shame... how undeserving. Dont ever buy one either... Just stay in your touring lala land for our sake.

I was making this same choice a while ago before I decided to buy an NSX. The M3 isn't as rare and really has no supercar status to most people. Yeah if you are a total car buff you know everything about all the cars but for the most part people don't.

The M3 get's a lot of "bling" in the convertible form (which is the ONLY form I'd consider buying that car) and is very classy for a multipurpose use. The NSX is an exotic.

Now some of you are going to go on about 911's and how they are faster and you are right that they are. There are some mustangs that are faster then your 911 turbo too so where do you draw the line?

The only thing about the NSX is that it is Acura and unlike a Beetle and a 911 - they set themself apart more then an Integra and an NSX.

If you want an exotic that will be fun, quick, and last a long time and turn heads go with the NSX - the NSX will turn more heads then any ugly 911 even if it is faster.
