Default smoked an nsx

ok i didn't really.

it was more of a slow passing in opposing directions in downtown DC traffic. The best part of it was that as we slowly passed and I said "nice car" I realized who was driving the NSX... Ted Koppel!

Ted Koppel is all of a sudden a LOT cooler in my book

Wow...I always thought Ted was a pretty boring looking kind of guy...I guess when he wants to get crazy, he untucks his shirt and takes the NSX for a spin...

You should have tried to get him to race...That would have been some story to tell!

Ted Koppel in an NSX?!? That's some funny sh#t He's got such a bland personality on TV. He seems more like a Jaguar kind of guy.

What's so good about an NSX, i mean it's a great car but how come it's so farkin expensive???

24-valve DOHC V-6
HP: NSX 3.2: 290 @ 7100
TQ: NSX 3.2: 224 @ 5500
Weight: NSX 3.2: 3164 lbs./3208 lbs.
0-60 in about 4.8s
1/4-mile: 13.2 sec @ 106 mph

Total Vehicle Price $90,840.20 (with all options)

I dunno, I'd rather buy something that doesn't cost so much and make it faster.
I think it's 90 Grand to get a Nissan Skyline GTR-34 from motorex.

If you're driving in an NSX, people stare....why? because it's on an exotic car level. It's compared with porsche's and ferrari's on both the status level and performance level. Plus, at least around here, i'm not sure if the skyline could keep up with the nsx in the amount of sheer female interest the car produces by itself. If all you care about is performance go buy a 23,000 WRX and use the left over $50,000gs for tuning, but if you actually want a car that says: "i've arrived and i'm in a ****in exotic," whenever you pull up to a public location then go for the NSX.

Oh...and it tends to be a *little* bit fun to drive from time to time
