Decisions, Decisions, Decisions - Potential NSX Buyer <long>
"Hello everyone"...<Hello Poison_S>
I have a problem. I am a caroholic. I can't seem to have enough of them. In the past five years, I have bought and sold many sporty cars that include three Cobra Mustangs, a Honda S2000, a Contour SVT, and an Audi S4, which is currently my daily driver.
My latest desire is to own an Acura NSX, but it's not that easy. I currently have one bad-ass ride, a 2003 Cobra Mustang that is modded to my liking. The car goes like a bat out of hell with 400 rwhp! It handles pretty well (I said well, not incredible) with the suspension mods I have. IMO, it looks great, but not in the same exotic way as an NSX. I am aware that both the cars have their strengths* and if I could have it my way, I'd have both cars. But, as most, funds are not unlimited.
I really want to drive an NSX to see if everything I read matches what I envision and desire, but since there are not many to begin with, in my area, I am left needing input from you guys and girls.
My loaded questions for the board are...
1) Have any of you come from muscle cars to sports cars?
If so, give me your impressions of what impressed you the
most about each distinctly different ride?
2) Would you buy your NSX again? or What would you buy to replace your NSX?
3) Given the HP wars currently underway, do you ever feel that your car *N E E D S* more power?
I'm looking fwd to the biased and hopefully helpful insight to this incredible car.
I'll probably have more questions after hearing these answers.
Oh, and be easy on the new guy with your replies. -
TIA
