All hype, no bacon..

You guys are right, GT-R can't touch the NSX on a road course...

I know it...I guess at some point, when you line them all up...if they go by you super fast and one is 1:43 and one is 1:42...

let's face it, they're both fully capable and faster than any car we own. So...the ability of the car would be lost on a shitty driver etc. So I'd pick the one that's the sex when I park and look back at her or take her to take pictures etc...

speaking of bacon...you can cook trio of strips simultaneously on that LFA exhaust.

It doesn't really matter...I can't and won't afford a car like that anyway. I'll just wait for my used Diablo to come down to 25K, like I originally planned

GKinColo08TL

Speaking of exhaust, that LFA sounded so good...only ever saw one once...mmmm.

When John and Chip came and stayed with us last year...we saw one on the highway and he had his zoom lens too...got some good shots!

how the fuck are these more than they were new?

Same for me...fun to dream though.

Only 8K miles...doesn't mean the guy will get that.

I know...but ALL of them either say call for price (probably because it's so low) or are ridiculously priced!

Okay, back to an NSX then...I'll hold out for an 05.

Nope...not a manual!

True...I hate shifting though, I'm so effin old.

LMAO...I don't blame you. My Dad says the same now...although when he does drive my car sporadically...he does say he misses it.

Ok, who's put a deposit on a new NSX?

Majofo

J said he made a deposit, but it was on a towel.

Majofo

Justn would have made a deposit, but he's pinching his pennies..

Why you think they got such shiny coats!?!?

Actually, now that the housework is settling down, took them for a little 1.5 mile jog yesterday. Damn...what a difference in their demeanor. They just seem so much more relaxed and happy when they get some exercise.

GKinColo08TL

I drive my son's (used to be mine) 280Z occasionally and I like it, one in a while, but not for a DD.

<----happier when I get exercise! (except shifting)

Being an average joe, regular commoner, I'd have to say the Acura would make more sense, even though the Ferrari is more appealing. Don't Ferraris have crazy regular and costly maintenance intervals? I thought that's why many of them have so little mileage on them when sold. At least with the NSX, you can pop into any acura dealer and get parts. I've also heard (can't confirm) that it gets increasingly difficult to find parts as Ferraris age. Ferrari simply doesn't stock pile them, because, well, Ferrari. at least with the NSX, you'll know parts will always be easy to source, even ten years after they stop production. Just from a longevity perspective from a guy without bottomless pockets, the NSX would be more sensible. It's one thing to drop 150k on a car. It's another thing to actually keep it on the road.

Based on what? No one has even driven an NSX yet, let alone seen any numbers. Just because it looks pretty on the outside doesn't mean much. It's likely going to be the case, but it's little more than speculation right now. The Nismo edition GTR is pretty balls to the wall. Who knows what the R36 will have in store.

Majofo

Who said anything about keeping it..

Majofo

Also.. twin turbo V6 with 3 electric motors.. yeah.. this isn't your grandma's NSX. Not cheap.

Yumcha

At $150K, screw that...I'm in a German-schnitzel-eating Porsche 911.

Yumcha

Or for less, the GT-R.

polobunny

I wish my grandma had an NSX.

Anyway, cannot wait to see this car being not available and never making it into actual production. I wouldn't be surprised 1 bit.

Majofo

I'm just going to buy a gayman-s

TacoBello

meh...

Majofo

For less than 60k.. tough to beat.

TacoBello

Why would that happen at this stage? I dont think Honda/Acura would have spent the money, that much hype, that much everything, including building an assembly plant to not build this car.

Yes, there was hype in the past about a new NSX (thinking of the V10 one, etc), but they were never touted like this before. And most of the hype came from car fans, eager for a new NSX, not Honda itself.

polobunny

It's the closest it's ever been, but I'll believe it when I see at least 10 of them on the streets.

Also where do you puts kids in the NSX?? You can do that in the 991 and the GT-R.

TacoBello

Same place I'll put my kids when I drive the miata. Underneathe the tires, so that I can afford to buy another car

TacoBello

and you'll likely never see 10 different NSXs on the streets, unless it's over a course of 3 years. at 1000 units/year, odds are your city will only have 10 per year, at most.

polobunny

That's terrible! You could damage the Miata!

By streets, I mean streets all inclusive, not just my streets.
I don't know but I got this vapor-car feeling which reminds me of the Pagani Zonda, which sure did get produced but was so ridiculously hard to get hold of the price doubled and tripled and the waiting list got ridiculously long. Not for lack of potential buyers, only 221 Zonda got to the finish line overall.
