Very nice car to have around. Supercars aren't as much fun to drive as other types of sport cars imo - too balky in normal driving conditions, but they are great to drive nonetheless. I think this is something you've touched on with daily driving character and public attention.

Wow, one of my favorite cars on the "all time" list, very nice pick up. Sorry to hear the experience hasn't been perfect for you so far, hopefully you'll grow to love some of the things that put you off so far.

you bought a ferrari...drove it a couple times at slow speeds then let your brother beat the shit out of it for 4 months and you are now getting it back...? did i get that right? Any chance we are long lost relatives? I can beat the shit out of your next car for 4 months if you want.. 
I am clueless who is who on here anymore... aren't you the guy who rode in a Macleren (like i can spell) or was that a different S2020 guy (i think he may have changed his name at some point and bought a lambo)...????
anyway....any model nsx blows when you hit the accelerator unless you are next to a mid eighty's vette... they definately look nice but otherwise not very exciting...

right now 5x $ = 0.8x fun.
I think I just need time to get more comfortable with the car.
Just need to drive it more.
This is something on the Bucket list of car enthusiasts. I don't regret making the purchase. It's just I was hoping for more "wow factor".

Scot, that was Raj.
My brother told me he didn't enjoy the car either and that the S2000 is a better car. I think our family have a defective gene for car enjoyment.
When you come to CA, PM me and we can go for a ride. It's slower than your Viper or Z06 (straight and corner). You might be disappointed.

ahhahahaha..... Ok... i am getting old but i kinda thought Raj changed his name..... so you don't enjoy the ferrari.... it definately sucks having people rev on you (by neons/hondas/pickup trucks / etc...)or point or ask stupid questions about cars...how much $$$ was that?
I drove a 360 spyder convertible which for about an hour... i didn't find the ride bad.... of course my car probably has the worst streetablity of any car on the street... it definately requires some muscle.
post what you get when you sell the ferrari...
probably don't want to get a lotus exige.
