    I just picked up a Ferrari 360

    Great find. I can't believe you're going to use it as a DD though. Good for you. You really screwed up my next car buying decision with this today though. I was on the 360 route this spring but shifted focus to a Gen III Viper the last few months. Great job on the color and the 6 speed...

    360's are getting cheap!!!

    Thanks for the feeback as I can see from your sig line that you also own a 360. You make some good points about HP difference between the NSX and 360 and a FI NSX should be very close in comparison to the 360 in performance figures with significantly more reasonable maintenance costs. The F430...

    360's are getting cheap!!!

    No, it didn't take me three to realize this. I almost purchased a Viper before my last NSX but knew from prior ownership how perfectly balanced the NSX is and so I came back again - third time's a charm. I sold each for different reasons and priorities in my life. As perfectly balanced as the...

    360's are getting cheap!!!

    Looks like what I predicted is materializing on the F360s but as some have accurately mentioned, beware of the hidden maintenance issues coming due on many of these. I have shifted gears personally and am looking for a Gen III Viper. The raw, brutal performance of the Viper beats the F360 in...

    Hennessey GTR700

    Yes - I saw one this summer here in good 'ol Tulsa, OK of all places a mile from my house. They are brutal. I'm looking for a Gen III ('03+) Viper currently...they only have 505 hp, barely half of this but enough for me.

    Ever been to a Sandals Resort?

    My wife and I have been to Ocho Rios Sandals about 4 years ago and it was so-so at best - food, resort, amenities, rooms, etc. However, we took our two older kids with us to Beaches Turks and Caicos last August and it was very nice - not even comparable to our Sandals experience. If you want...

    360's are getting cheap!!!

    I just sold my very clean spa yellow NSX to move to a 360 for all the observations mentioned in this thread. The early F1s are prone to acuator failures for the paddle shifters. Yellow 6 speed 360 spyder is what I am looking for now. I'll take my time and when the right car comes along (may...

    never seen so many NSX for sale

    Re: bottoming-out Aston... Please help me find a Am Vantage for the prices you quote and I will seriously consider that purchase immediately. I just sold my third NSX and like the other two, it sold quickly (about a week or so from list here on prime) for very cloe to full list. I think...

    1997 Spa Yellow Pearl / black 6 sp. 37K miles VIN #JH4NA2169VT000326

    The car was sold new and serviced in Valencia, CA at Valencia Acura until I bought it and brought it to Tulsa, OK. I purchased the car Oct. 2006 with 29K miles on it. The odometer just turned over to 37K miles. I used it for my daily driver for a few months and then converted it back to a...

    Best Ritz Carlton?

    I'll second that. That's where I stay when in Singapore. Plus, the first ever nighttime F1 racelast year came right by there..birds eye view. Of course, stay in the club level.

    Tulsa NSX owners

    Wow! Welcome aboard NSX ownership. I know Mike Mares well...he was riding along with me at Hallett three years ago in another NSX I had when Shawn (Ponyboy) blew his motor there...the rest is history. I've been under the radar for 2008...got a promotion to CFO and my hair's been on fire ever...

    Now is the time to buy an NSX!

    True. When I was buying the wife a new-to-us 2007 Escalade a month ago from a buddy that was the sales manager at the local high end dealer (Mercedes & Porsche), they had a 2005 silver Gallardo e-gear that they sold for low 70s. I can remember the exact amount but I want ot say $73K was thier...

    NSX Sale Status

    Other than the 40% loss in my investment accounts (401K, after tax accounts, etc), no financial stress - at least nothing more than the average person in this crap economy. All my stuff is paid for with cash. Being a CFO, it's my nature to live within my means and not buy something I can't pay...
