Let me say this before I get started. I do not own a NSX yet but with almost 40 years of sports car and 10 years of racing a Formula Ford 1600 you will want a manual box. All of my sports cars were manual and when it is time to push or hustle the car the manual is about the only way you can do...

Thanks guys I needed that. I have moved away from the Ferrari ledge. I knew everything posted allready but needed to hear it from other people.

Most know I plan to be a NSX owner in the next 6 to8 months but it seems there are alot of 308s on the market at nice prices. I know the Ferrari will cost 4 times to run as compared to the NSX. I have always wanted a 308. Help talk me off the Ferrari 308 ledge before I go and do something I know...

It could be a GPS tracker. The kind that the faceless men in black suits use. Are you wanted for anything? Do you know anything about aliens on this planet?

If a person pays 50k for a Ferrari or any other exotic you should expect to drive the thing cross country with out a worry. I don't have that worry with my Jeep and you should not have that worry with a Ferrari. I don't think anyone will say a Jeep is better built that a Ferrari. No matter what...

As I said before I will most likley buy a NSX after the first of the year. But I thought long and hard about a Ferrari and still do. But the bottom like is the cost of running a Ferrari for 3 years is the running cost for a NSX for maybe what 10 years? I guess the deciding factor has been this...

Let me follow up on my comment about alot of great cars. The people who buy a NSX want a NSX. The NSX is a great car in the sea of great cars. NSX owners are like Ferrari, Lotus, A.M., Jag and so on they want wahat they want and will not change thier minds. I have had two Lotus and met guys who...

I agree about the set amount of cars but there is a set amount owners or want to be owners. I think the same owner/car supply that was there in 1991 is still there today. Remember Honda lowered the price to move cars. I also think that if you can not get a good price potential owners will look...

I have been watching prices for at least 4 months now as I get ready to buy after the 1st of the year. By then I should have a very good guide on the prices. But I have seen prices all over the place for cars with high miles and no records. I also feel that there a goup of owners who over price...

My Elise and Europa were the only ones in my town of Springfield Il. There another Elise in town now. There is one or two NSXs in town. From my experence the NE has always had more Lotuses, my Elise came from the NE. I think it has something to do with there has always been more Lotus dealers...

I had my Elise at the Route 66 car show and I was worn out by the end of both days talking about the car. It is such an aggresive looking car and the #1 thing is the Elise is in all of the Xbox and Playstations race car games. Everyone sees the car in the games but no one actually sees them...

Ok guys my first questions after a couple of weeks looking at the board and reading some reviews. The hard tops handle better than the targas but does the targa handle as well with the targa top in? All the reviews say there is some handling lose with the top out but I was wondering what...

Some of the follow up to my post is the stuff the that the blanket posts don't cover. My fear is the snap ring but I guess Acrua could tell me if that has been fixed. So I guess I should look at 91 to 94. Is my budget out of line? I would think with this market I am in line budget wise. Given...

Let me answer a couple of questions. Elise to NSX is a big jump some say up others say down. Elise is a great car when everything is working. But for long trips your back is sore as is your leg since there is no cruise. As an example the lights quit, finally tracked down to one bad wire the the...

Hello, I am new here. I joined last night and the reason I joined it to get info about the NSX. My car background is a Triumph GT6 as a first car at 16. Then a XKE, sold it to race Reynard FF1600 for 10 years. I had a semi tricked RX7 twin turbo. Then a 74 Lotus Twin Cam Special. Then a 05 Lotus...
