Most of the known world is blissfully ignorant of such things. Thank goodness they are - it means more for us.

yeah the 350Z convertible when I first saw I was like WTF is that...it looks maybe like a Z but not...does it have a longer wheelbase like the G35C? It doesn;t look nearly as short as the Z coupe
I think people do not know what an NSX is b/c they are just not seen a lot. I have seen only 12-15 in my entire life. Of course I know what it is but most people do not. Yeah they know what a Porsche is or a Vette, but they look at an NSX and think is that a Ferarri or what? They are just rare. When my Dad and I go out in the NSX people are turning heads to look at it like crazy b/c they are almost unheard of around here. But is so much fun to see guys in their Vettes who already think they are hot sh$t see the NSX and damn near start drooling. You feel like saying yeah it's a lot better than your dime a dozen car.
Generally, when someone local to my area asks me what kind of car it is, they start bey saying something like 'I've seen you around quite a lot'. Then they ask what kind of car it is.
I think the locals have come to the conclusion that it is not a car they are familiar with, i.e., Vette, Porche, F-car, or Lambo. In my neck of the woods, one sees F-cars and Lambos more than NSX's.

I used to live in Overland Park
In your neck of the woods (or the KC metro area in general), seeing an exotic car really is quite a rarity. I'm moving back to KC in a month to work as an intern at DST for the summer again.

Re: I used to live in Overland Park
That's quite correct. However, since I have lived here (Overland Park), I have seen more F-cars and Lambos than NSX's.slashmatt said:
TWO black cars,you must be a glutton for punishmentG-man said:Yep. Hey, look at me. I bought 2 cars that nobody knows what they are!
Once you go black, you can never go back!
Yep, now that I am almost "40", all my cars from now on will be black until the big long one that they haul my butt away in.
They are awesome when they are clean.

I bought an NSX for two reasons.
(1) great trackcar
(2) there are more Ferrari's, Porsche's, etc on the roads here than NSX's. There are 4 in town, and 3 of the four are close friends, and we all bought them around the same time cause they were our dreamcar. I like how "rare" they are. That is a benefit.

First thing I would do if I bought a 350Z...

I was driving around in a area with a lot of people walking around this past week. As i drove past this little kid, probably 10 or so, on the opposite side of the street, i hear "OH Sh*TTT, it's a lamborghini!!" I laughed out loud, but i hope his mom taught him a lesson for cursing and thinking my car was a lamborghini You have the understand most people aren't very car savy, but the can recognize when they see a super car by it's looks. So it makes sense that they assume it's some sort of well known super car make like Porsche, Ferrari, Lamborghini. I don't think many people know Acura made a super car competitor. The car has Acura symbols on it and I've still had a ton of people ask me who makes it heh.
By far the number 1 question I'm asked is "how much was it?" That seems a little strange to me. Do other people get that a lot? Do people ask ferrari owners that a lot? Maybe they have no idea how much it costs and it just looks like a really expensive car?
