hard to really compare a 360 and an NSX, even though they were competitors for a while. while the F-cars have certainly gotten much better since (and because of) the inception of the NSX, you're still comparing two very different ways of doing things. a mid-engined Ferrari is a very raw car; visceral, uncompromising, purpose designed, and derived from decades of competition at the highest levels in automobile racing. it's well known that Enzo Ferrari only built road cars to finance his company's racing efforts. some people like to call the NSX the "poor man's Ferrari", but the truth is it's actually the anti-Ferrari. it is extremely refined, incredibly reliable, designed as a street car by a company who mainly built street cars, is fairly practical, and is exceptionally easy to live with. that's exactly why so many NSX owners prefer their cars over a 348, 355, 360, etc. absolutely nothing wrong with that. in fact, that was virtually the selling point of the NSX, the easy-to-live-with exotic. just two different ways of doing things. the reason so many people endeavor to own or drive a Ferrari is to experience that legendary mystique, the unadulterated passion for performance automotive engineering that only the Italians seem to have captured in its purest form. the same can be said of comparing a Honda CBR motorcycle to a Ducati. one is quite a bit more prestigious and exhilarating than the other. what some see as flaws, others will see as character, purity, and excitement. most of the negatives talked about in this thread so far are centered on reliability and maintenance cost. as it was also stated earlier, the maintenance cost of an NSX to an S2000 is also a step up, so it's all relative really. i don't believe in settling for anything, in my opinion having and doing what makes you happy is priceless. the OP has already experienced the NSX side of the equation for a while, give the Italians a go. you'll never know until you do. you can always go home...
