Why look for a used NSX?

I'm pretty sure a '98 911 will kill a stock NSX of the same year.
Performance for dollar spent is not the appeal of the NSX. A rare vehicle made of unusual materials and perhaps ahead of its time at inception is ...
For the SAME money, I chose my 2002 NSX over a 2002 911 C4S, and everyday I wake up Im thankful that I did.
But have you driven either a Cayman S or a 3.2L NSX. I have and while I freely admit that the P car is a nicer and arguably better car, I don't think it's worth the $30K + premium over what I paid for my NSX. And as I've said a few times, I know the magazines will show it being quicker (and it probably is), it doesn't feel as quick, nor does it feel as raw and visceral to drive. To some, that's not important but just as I loved the way the S2K felt connected to the road and the driver, that's important to me.

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.

In my dreams the first Ferrari I would buy would be a Testarossa. When I was a kid it was the most coolest car in the world to me. You could get a Testarossa for 'bout 50K nowadays. Unless you get one of the newer ones which would still be about 80K.

where do you get the $30 K more for a Cayman S, last time i checked a newer model NSX is not far from a new Cayman's msrp. Now if your talking about earlier model ones then yea but then buying a new Cayman S will be even more attractive.

Curious, why AWD vs RWD?
Since that time Ive realized that I should have been looking at a different slate of cars. Im still happy with my choice, but I definately should have looked at 911TTs. Thats a car that can stir shit up!

They are both overpriced for the performance you get. The difference is, with the NSX you benefit from a great resale value.
But again, that's just me and everyone has their own priorities.
