So i think the GT is out of the contest....
now its between GTR and the NSX....the GTR being the more logical choice with AWD and FI from factory....and the NSX being the more fun to own, with trying to build it and the Targa top making it a "convertible"

I was starting to think samething about GT
If you want luxery driving or DD, just get a e38
For that price, after paying 60-70K, you would want to hit the top on track and push the limits
--
I love NSX, to me it's one of a kind. Would by it because of Senna. But interior is too old
GTR is like videogame inside, perfect for track
NSX might be cheaper but why not pay little bit more and get a new design GTR
but, not saying no to a NSX, just can't

Both cars are a head turner, but the NSX looks like an exotic. Obviously, the GTR completely out performs the NSX, but still.
You can't go wrong in either.

NSX all day. $70K will be more than enough to get you into a mint condition one before the facelift & modify it.

Yup, exactly.
NSX gets the +1 on exotic
And its one of a kind, its done
What if GTR changes the design next year or something?

If you do go for the NSX, read the Wiki on NSXPrime. Youll learn a lot of valuable things and it will help you find the right NSX.
One thing to keep in mind is the snap ring failures that effected certain transmissions (serial number range listed on Prime) on the early models. If they have a lot of miles though, you shouldnt have to worry about the snap ring. It typically fails early.

Great info Morgi...I will read up more on Wiki
Meko, if they change the design and if I dig how it looks maybe, we can wait another year or 2 until the new models come down to 65-70K and I can buy it

I found a C63 AMG of the current gen., few years old for around $40K with roughly 10,000/miles a year like the one you posted. Brake service all around is $5,500-$6,000; fronts are over $1,500/side. Who knows what the optional ceramics cost.

If I had $70k just lying around for a car....
It would be used as a down payment on a 2015 NSX.
I'd also use a little of it to build an addition to my garage, with a lift so I could store said NSX and my S2000 atop one another.

hard to choose.
used GTR for sure, just for performance but realistically if the options were on the table...
slightly used e92 m3...those v8 engines are impeccable!

Morgan works the corner at night for me. He's become a favorite for many female clients since the vampire craze started with True Blood and Twilight and such. There's no need to watch over him since he's easy to spot with his translucent skin. I get 90% of his revenue and he gets the scraps. Considering he just got the house and the FR-S and such, that goes to show how valuable he is to my operation
