    NSX is it really an exotic?

    Yes Brian I had found a great deal on that all it needed was a clutch. Just as expensive as a Ferrari's might I add but only more work. On the Ferrari it takes about an 1 hour to replace and you dont even have to take ot tranny. Anyway, I love the NSX I just wish there was something I can do...

    I for one kind of like the way that NSX looks.

    NSX is it really an exotic?

    I wrote that the supercharger costs $10,000 because a comptech does with installation. I bought my NSX two years ago for $24,000 and it was a 92 with 33,000 miles. I believe that the NSX is a beautiful design but don't bash the Ferraris. You are picking and choosing what some people are...

    02 M3 or 00 V8 esprit or 00 Boxster S

    The late 70's to late 80's was a transition period where they worked out most of their flaws. Chapman (founder of Lotus) believed that if you want to go faster you just add lightness- in this case it meant drive shafts doubling up as suspension links. In the eighties they were worked out the...

    02 M3 or 00 V8 esprit or 00 Boxster S

    How many of you guys own or have owned Lotus? It is people like you who spread this misinformation. I have owned several and they have been ultra reliable. Lotus was unreliable back in the 50's to the late 70's. From the late 80's on they are very reliable and not as expensive to maintain as...

    02 M3 or 00 V8 esprit or 00 Boxster S

    If you want fun and power and a car that equals the NSX go for the Lotus V8TT. If you want a convertable then the boxster is your choice. Test drive all the cars and you will see what suits you best.

    bought a 355 spyder

    The 355 is a great car--I have owned mine for 2 years now and so far has cost me nothing in maintenance other than oil changes and such. Nothing has went wrong with it at all, starts everytime, and is a blast to drive. Allan, wait till you put test pipes and a tubi on--it really screams. Also...

    WHY won't you drive your NSX in rain?

    Wow guys! I drive mine in the rain, snow, sleet, sun--you name it I take it out. I also have a few other cars but its in the rain and snow that I have most fun. This car handles like a dream in the rain as well. I also drive my f-cars in the rain. No problem with me---free car wash

    1981 Nissan 280Z

    My friend is thinking about buying one. Is there anything that I should tell him to watch out for these cars other than rust and the usual--motor, clutch, drivetrain. I have never heard of any problems with these cars, then again I never owned one. Thanks in advance guys.

    when is it not wise to buy an exotic?

    Wow, I can only imagine if you were to pass by me and see an NSX, 2 Ferraris, a Lotus and a 500sl all parked outside one filthier than the next because of all the snow we've had.

    Ferrari 355 value comparison.???

    I own a 95 355 and IMO it is the best year to get because a little more power, better heads, better sound, better gearing and it is also the fastest. The 95 motor is the one they use on the challenge cars. I have never had a single problem with mine--no valve guides,nothing. Mine also has...

    LOTUS TT VS BASCH SUPERCHARGED NSX

    wow! what have I been missing? Sounds like it was fun Allan. I love how everyone keeps saying that the Lotus looks dated. It's only a 30 year old design in an age when door stop looks was the fad. Deqle have you ever driven a Lotus for yourself? Do not listen to anyone else's opinions...

    I am not looking to make the NSX faster than the Lotus, I just want to give it more spunk. And the reason for keeping it NA is becuase I do not want to lose that crisp and instant throttle response that gets lost when you use forced induction. As to why no pics of the NSX other than the one I...

    Edwardo there is absolutely no reason to explain yourself or apologize. Sure once in a while Allan or myself stir a little trouble, but that is only meant to keep everyone amused. Nothing more, nothing less. Like I said if I didn't like the car I wouldn't have kept it. Also if you are ever...

    And when I am comparing I am talking from experience. I am not looking at someone else's opinions when comparing. That is why most of the comparisons are lopsided, but they are real world comparisons. If anything you should take it as a compliment if a 92 NSX is being compared to a 99 Lotus.

    Netviper I bought the 92 because I was looking for a 91-93 because of the weight. I also did not like the powersteering, as it lost some feedback and crispness in the steering feel. Also I tend to stay away from OBDII cars as I hear they are a bitch to get power out of without throwing some...

    Anyone ever see "Kung Pow"

    The same with me, after 10 minutes I tuned out. One of the worst movies I have seen, maybe I just don't get it. But on another note, Supertroopers was hilarious

    As a matter of fact, I use the NSX just about the least of all the cars. I use the Lotus alot more, and both Ferraris more. I will not lie, it was meant as the derogatory version of a daily driver but I did not mean it as a knock in anyway at all. Like I said it was only a joke. But this...

    And the only reason I am teaching my girlfriend to drive manual on an NSX is, if you have driven any of the other cars I own they are very difficult to drive for a seasoned driver, nonetheless a beginner. Clutch pedal is very soft, shifting is like butter, and great all around vision--something...

    Edwardo, i knock the Lotus as much as I do the NSX. it is all doen in humor, I am sorry if I do offend any of you. I am always saying how the Lotus falls apart if you slam the door too hard, etc. etc. The NSX is a wonderful car and have stood up for it on numerous occasions on Lotus lists...

    And another thing do you think that allan or myself would buy and keep the car if we didn't really like it? There are better things I can do with $30,000+ than waste it on a car that I hate.

    I was just kidding with Allan. I love my NSX. If you have followed the posts from here with Allan you wil understand what I am talking about. That is why i posted it on this site so I can more people interested besides Allan and myself. I have nothing but praise for the NSX and I have stated...

I am not trying to take away members from this...
