Default My S is gone... but an NSX coiuld be on its way?

I've just sold my S and I have the chance of a NSX 3.2 Targa ... Im just concerned that the car is a bit old compared with a more modern car...

Anyone driven both s and NSX? What would your comparisons be??
Thanks

Get the NSX. The style is a little aged but still looks breath taking in person. I've driven both and the NSX seemed to handle just as good as the S but is much faster and much more limited. But in return cost more to maintain.

That is the only downside to the NSX, you pay that much for a car, but still find that at that price there is stiff competition. Try a Skyline. Anyways, I would actually get the NSX cause the car has always been on a higher pedestool in my eyes since it was debuted. Either way, since you are already getting ready to purchase a higher end car then you can't really make a bad decision. Although it might not be as strong as some of its competition, it can still hold its own.

tuney,

Would you be buying a new or used NSX? Personally, I think new NSX prices are a bit on the high side, but used ones go for great prices. Here in the US, the '97 NSX-T's go for anywhere from the high $30k's to the low $50k's.

I own both and love the Blue maybe 50% more. But the S2000 is still very desirable.
I can not really put everything into words because that would take too long of a post but just drive the NSX and you will feel and see what every NSX owner knows.

Tough life there huh Tan! Man I'm sure it's hard to decide which ride to take in the morning!!! That's sweet. Congrats!

Tuney,
A good friend of mine's dad just bought a used NSX. I believe it was a 97 or 98. He got an incredible deal because it was a show car. It was a few years old, but only had 75mi on it! They are great cars. Just standing next to one will make you druel! He had also looked at the S, but decided on the NSX...at least for right now. I'm going let him take my S out for a spin so I can hear his comparo.

Sorry, this is an updated pic of the NSX.

I want the new Aston Martin DB8 Next very obtainable $100K. Vanquish would be out of my league
