That's one vehicle i would not mind getting beat by, but on the other hand i would not have attempted to race it.

but then again, for the price of that car i could get the m3 AND the TL

Bad ass TL...but...
Cant afford Mods.....

But then neither of them would be a mid-engined Aluminium bodied Hand-built Exotic with things like drive by wire throttle and titanium connecting rods and a host of other cutting edge stuff which is only now starting to appear among production cars.... almost a decade after its introduction...

With the M3 and the TL, you will have 2 above average products.... NOT something exceptional....

The NSX is an AWESOME car but, the M3 is anything but average.

Did you guys have a get together with Colin and friends? Isn't that Jerrys old 97 Montecarlo Blue NSX? Anyway, the new owner of that car lives in the building I work at. I get to see that car everyday I wish it were a manual though. I myself am looking for a 94 Brooklands Green Peal as first choice, and then Black, or Silver as Second. I want the Brooklands Green because no one in Hawaii has that color yet. Pflueger Acura still has the BLack 99 I think that Alan Plueger owns for sale. Anyway, I hope to join the NSX ranks in a few years.

hunter001.....
you said it ur self... its been around for awhile.... so why get an old car? believe me, i'll get the nsx over m3 anyday... but if i had been given the cash to buy it,i would'nt be able to afford a TL

ohh by the way... IMO mid-engines are way to hard to drive.... especialy on the track drifting(tried with MR2), almost imposible to recover from a sping out , where as the FR is easyer to handle....and more predictable

How many cars can you count on your hand who uses Aircraft Aluminium Alloy on its mid-engined Hand-built body ? The NSX is "old" not due to out-dated technology or looks....but because it has been around for quite a while....but the technology used in it, is only now starting to arrive in cars like the M5 (forget about the M3)....

The MR2 ain't an NSX......FYI. To meet a match for the exhilaration of the NSX (V6 and all) at full cry, you will have to step up to the level of the Ferraris.....M3 ? LOL

Go through this article which appeared about a couple of years back (10 years after the introduction of the NSX) in which Mario Andretti (who certainly is the best possible person to comment on Handling characteristics of supercars) track drives and analyses various cars like the NSX, Ferrari F355, Lotus Esprit V8, Porsche 911 AWD, Dodge Viper, Chevy Corvette etc.....in the final tally the NSX was barely edged out by 1 point by the winner, the Porsche 911 AWD (notice it is not the RWD 911)....guess who is the oldest car in the group !!! And....Mario is no Auto Journalist paid to slant articles in any automakers' favor....
