Let me start by saying that I have always wanted to get an NSX - right from when they were first released. I was planning on cashing in some stock options to pick one up next year. However I just got a deal on a 1989 944 Turbo S that I couldn't pass up (about 1/2 of retail price) so I bought it. I had planned on making some money on the car when I sold it to buy my NSX. I have been having a blast driving the 944 though. I just test drove an NSX for the very first time and to be honest it didn't have the power that I was expecting. It seemed to be missing that nice push in the back that I get when the turbo kicks in on my 944. It sounded great, looked even better but I just didn't think it had the power/performance that my 944 does. Now I am wondering if it is worth my 944 turbo plus an extra $30K canadian. Has anyone raced or driven a stock 944 turbo S (not just the plain 944 turbo)? How did it compare to your NSX?
