If you like them, they're great.
If you don't, they're old, outdated, underpowered, expensive and ugly (I'm sure I missed some off!)

You guys win, the NSX is great. The problem is you can't discuss a car positively or negatively when a good percentage of the people posting own it. You have to admit you're in a minority to aspire to an NSX - that is my whole point. You see yourself as an informed minority. I do not. We cannot change each others minds on this. Notwithstanding, I still respect your choice and you'll not I passed positive comment about simons car a few pages back.......in particular with regards to the colour

I'd have a 355 by the way. Yes more than

Its moving fast this thread!!!!

Well look at what Honda as done for you SAXOBOY,made you feel classy!

You like speed as well think you said something about a scooby would blow an NSX away your wrong in one sense,as a standard NSX would still blow a wrx away maybe struggle form standstill but as you approach top end the NSX would laugh passing you!!

Lets go spec or moded then at my scooby clinic there are a few cars there just over the 500 bhp,they are very rare,but look and sound like shit.

And i would still put my money on the NSX around a track.

As regard the left hand drive thing, no chance NSX would laugh again,what you miss understand is the, NSX had the best chasie money could buy no worrys,!!!

Now lets look back at What Honda Do engine size S2000 240bhp more out put than any other 2.0 engine, in its day 3.0v6 280 bhp against 4.0 litre cars and blew them away its simple Honda are fantastic at showing other how to go on.

OK I know its a risk buying a 14 year old car, but at the end of the day it's a Honda, assembled on a purpose built facility, almost by hand. Throw in good service history and enthusiastic specialist dealers, and its not such a leap of faith.
I think it's a great buy at that money, or even more.

I'd far rather have your

In such circumstances it doesn't have the badge, the ability or the prestige but by god does it have the grunt to make up for it
I think this seems to sum you up Saxo Boy.

I am absolutely amazed you have bothered with the S

I've always found the NSX's looks a little dated, but I think the white and black one in the picture above looks the absolute business.

Please read my post!? There are few if any standard scoobys that could touch an NSX. My point was that if speed was all you were after than
