    Revisited Gen1 NSX vs R8 -- Long-Term Value

    Let me help you out as you apparently like beating dead horses, if you want something the people you keep quoting consider a direct steering feel, go get an alfa 4c and tramline all over the place. Hell yea the R8 is numb compared to that type of stuff bc its actually nice to drive and not a...

    Revisited Gen1 NSX vs R8 -- Long-Term Value

    Thank you very much! I appreciate that, just been lucky :) And yes the v10 maintenance does sky rocket compared to the v8. However i was lucky to get the APR car which has more power than the v10s. I also confirmed this today again by going to test drive a v10 tt and my car was easily quicker...

    Revisited Gen1 NSX vs R8 -- Long-Term Value

    Im not positive of this bc i havent taken the time to look but i think the R8 is the only manual, mid engine, awd v8 car in existance. If that holds any value to you ha Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk

    Revisited Gen1 NSX vs R8 -- Long-Term Value

    Actually that is not the truth regarding the manual. The R8 was released with only an automatic (r-tronic, everyone hated, single clutch, later used in aventador) the demand for a manual was so high they made it an option later. Also worth mayb noting, the r8 came with 2 seat options, the flat...

    Revisited Gen1 NSX vs R8 -- Long-Term Value

    yep, this is tru, wasn't even gona bring it up lol - - - Updated - - - lmao +1 tho, well said - - - Updated - - - and yes to both of thos. I looked at an evora for the longest time because they are very close to a modern NSX in design, even in dimension measurements

    Sure, lets assume im young, which automatically makes you old by reference points, so Ill be slow and extra detailed because you probably need me to be since that's how old people work by assumption. 1. idgaf (probably should spell this acronym out bc you're old but i cant) what your car is...

    Revisited Gen1 NSX vs R8 -- Long-Term Value

    ...every point you just tried to make is off from what I was talking about... but you did just prove that I was right on one of the bets that I made already... you bought your 03 in 2011 or 2012 according to you, meaning that it depreciated by 1/2 with minimal miles on it in the same time frame...

    Revisited Gen1 NSX vs R8 -- Long-Term Value

    Actually what I said was the R8 is quicker in everyway except possibly the track... and also all your comments are tru if we were in the 1990s. Ill place this bet now and forever on this forum that a new R8 or 488 will last longer and be cheaper to maintain than the new NSX. best packaging for a...

    Revisited Gen1 NSX vs R8 -- Long-Term Value

    2. Idk anyone who considers their R8 to have a numb feel. my NSX had a pretty numb feel to me, most everyone wants to talk about how great it is but in reality I was kind of disappointed. I think its funny bc we know of the compliance built in to absorb bumps through the steering, this is the...

    Revisited Gen1 NSX vs R8 -- Long-Term Value

    All good, but heres my answer, if youre driving a targa, with the roof off, on bumpy roads, to the point where you can feel the chassis flex... then you are stupid. The level at which ud have to drive the nsx to feel that is not suited for bumps and therefor shouldnt be doing that on said road...

    Revisited Gen1 NSX vs R8 -- Long-Term Value

    Yea see i thot the turbo swap had a few extra cost components after the 15k. But selling the original engine would def being back some $$$ And yea sure, i did drive a 91 or 92 and really you dont notice the difference in flex within the chassis as it is a targa. The weight is slgithly noticable...

    Revisited Gen1 NSX vs R8 -- Long-Term Value

    To get each of those numbers its 15-20k. For details youll have to look into it urself And my car is basically a 1 off so not much is known in details, especially bc the company who built it basically cleaned house a few years ago and they dont even kno where the original build sheet is. I...

    Revisited Gen1 NSX vs R8 -- Long-Term Value

    This is too tru. also it's worth noting that the same amount of money that gets you to 450whp in an NSX, gets you around 700 in an R8 without changing internals and its warrantied also probably worth noting that regarding my original response, I do have a slightly unique R8 that is probably...

    Revisited Gen1 NSX vs R8 -- Long-Term Value

    the nsx is just a smoother, more effortless car all around, the transmission, the compliance in the suspension, the throttle response, etc coupe yes, inputs are everything you as a person do to the car to while driving, adding to your list: throttle & shifting
