You've driven both? That would be the deciding factor for me.

 

New Sportscar eXperiment is where I would put my money. There are Turbocharged NSX's out there, check out the FI boards over at nsxprime.com. I have friends that have owned them, tracked them etc. and they are deceptively fast cars. They can carry alot of speed into a corner and accelerate early out of it. And the sound of the V6 at the small of your back is amazing.

The NA1 is a great buy, a lot of guys put the type S shock and spring package on them for improved handling and I would make sure to go with 4.55 rear end or the 4.235 from the 1st NSXR - the US NA1's were geared waaay to tall and really wake up with the shorter final. Also the headers on the C30's are prone to cracking which gives you an excuse to go aftermarket. The most sought after US models are the NA2 fixed roof coupes (Zanardi edition and a handful of NA2 coupes came to the states from 97-01 I believe).

Like the S, you can shed close to 100 pounds off the curb weight fairly easily, tipping the scales at around 2900 for an NA1. Its also not hard to get 290 crank hp out of a C30 putting you at a 10:1 pw ratio.

But thats me, I would probably SC an NSX if I went FI at all and also my S2000 because I would want more power with a premium on reliablitly. Ayrton Senna was responsable for the chassis and suspension testing and feedback for the Honda GP engineers that built the NSX (and later the S2000). They will over-rotate just as easily as the S if you get it wrong so be careful.

 

Stick with the S2k!!

 

i would love the last gen nsx with the non pop ups. but i dono nsx is too "exotic" looking for me right now. if your car is more of a daily than weekender i'd stick w/ s2k. i'd be wayyyyyy too worried about nsx if i drove it anywhere.

 

I'd go with turbocharging the S.

 

i would go with the nsx, the S is a nice car but if i had to choose i would go with a nsx

 

I'd turbo the S. NSX maybe if you have another DD.

 

Depends on your budget. It's a lot cheaper to SC your existing car. An NSX is nice but a '94 would be 6 years or so older than your current car.

 

NSX!!

 

Depends on what you're looking for.

Having driven both, as fun as the S2000 is, I can hands down say the 1991-1993 NSX is *sublime* to drive.

The seating, the view, the sound and gearing, and *stiff* chassis are all great - but what REALLY takes the cake is the manual steering.

There is no finer joy to be found in driving than guiding the wheel (feels like you are using your hands to move the front of the car), nailing an apex, then mashing the gas and feeling the steering wheel stiffen up as the car loads up on Gs. All this while, the steering wheel is jerking and vibrating in your hand, sending every single message possible about what the front wheels are doing, and about to do.

Incredible. I love the S2000 so far, but I'd give it up in a heartbeat for a well maintained, low mile 1991 NSX. To put it into perspective, I have a C5 z06 that does 0-60 in 3.9 seconds, does over 1.0gs on the skidpad, runs the nurburgring in 7:46-7:48, and pretty much annihilates the NSX in every performance category imaginable, even including gas mileage.

Once I got back on the Z06 after driving the NSX, I knew in a heartbeat that the Z06 had been ruined for me. It is up for sale now, and I bought an S2000 to drive, to get me closer to that NSX experience (but not close enough), until I find myself a nice 1991 NSX to buy.

I can't say enough good things about the NSX. The NSX owners on nsxprime.com, on the other hand....
