Most of the NSX owners are car nuts.

for the kind of money it took, i'd sooner just buy a real type-r.
Um have you seen a price tag for the NSX-R. Let alone even one for sale ever? The import costs would be amazing. There is a reason why the 'R' parts are coveted. Would you even think that these people with this amount of liquid assets, haven;t thought about buying one?

Well heres another one that I thought has done very well with his toys

Holy schizz, that is HOT. It may not be the world's fastest or most exotic or whatever, but it's a unique and beautiful piece of art in my opinion.

If I understood it correctly, one of his priorities was to have the car LHD. I don't understand why that was so important. A RHD imported NSX-R would be just fine by me.

All those people who are suggesting that he has blown money should realize that, if he wanted, he could probably sell the car for a good chunk more than he has it in it, in about 1 hour.

Took sizable balls to rip the roof off of a perfectly good NSX.

Ryan's looks to be coming along well too, but with the Targa....
