When I first saw this thread and clicked the link, I thought it was one of those NSX's converted to a kit car Ferrari (like an NSX to F40 conversion I saw somewhere) .

I'd take the Ferrari if it was that or nothing but given the choice I'd rather rock the NSX.

You mean a '99 Zanardi, the only year Zanardi's were sold.

If I had $40,000+ to burn, I think I'd go with the Ferrari 348. I think the styling has held up very well over the years, at least better than the NSX's styling has. And hey, it's a Ferrari.

But back to reality, I'd spend that $40,000+ on a Lotus Elise before I'd ever consider the 348 or the NSX.

If it was a 355 Vs. NSX 3.2 debate then you would have a good discussion.

A 348 Vs. NSX for $48k is a not even close IMHO. Then again I am a bit biased.

if you need to "worry" about maintenance, the car isn't for you

I like the 348 a lot, but to choose it over an NSX you would have to:

1. Choose it because its a Ferrari
2. Accept the lower performance car.
3. Accept the car that will cost dramatically more to maintain, and
4. Accept the car with a subpar interior to pretty much anything any of us have ever sat in.

Ive see a few absolutely stunning 348s though. Id love to own one, alongside my NSX tho.

So you're saying that the NSX was a supercar in 1990 along with the Ferrari F40, the Jaguar XJ220 and the Porsche 959. Right....
