I may be going to look at one soon, the dealer has one and said about the $799/mo lease. But what if I wanted to buy instead of lease? What should I expect for a price??

Re: You really should test drive the NSX first! VTEC in the S2000 is around 6000 rpm. The only thing you'll feel at 9000 is the fuel cut-off. :rolleyes:

I think I'd stay away from the SMG the first go round since it's unproven (by Honda). Who knows what problems the SMG BMW will run into down the road. But I'd like to have the option of both. No Slushbox. One thing I like about the S2000 is that it's MT only so at the very leat every...

Yes it's not uncommon. The MB SL has a V6 (in europe), a V8 (NA), V8 (SC), V12 tt, V12 tt (larger). Porsche 911 has 4 different engines. Entry level to supercar BMW I6, V8, and V12 in the same car. Infiniti V6, V8 in same car Cadillac V6, V8 in same car Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Ford...

That's cool. I hope the spoiler can find it's way back. I don't care for the wheels on the show car. Too big to ever make it to production.

If you think speed or HP is more important than style or build quality go with the Z06. There's more to life than having the fastest car. I've never been a big street racer so I could care less if the Z06 is a few seconds quicker to 120 mph. I care more about fun to drive and that can't be...

the turbo has a lot more power (obviously) 420hp and can be ordered with the engine option giving it 450hp from the factory. So if you're looking for power the tt will be like you going from a MR-2 to a NSX. If you want one of the fastest cars on the street the turbo is that and also a very...

well I tried to capture it's good side but as you can see it has no good side. j/k This car is not good looking, but the reviews have been glowing.

Well he may not want to spend it all in one place. He may want to buy a house or save for retirement (which I highly recomend), OR he may be waiting to see the next big thing maybe the M5/M6 with 500hp V10, or the Next gen NSX or the C6 Z06 or the Ford GT. There are a dozen interesting cars on...

Is flex only with the top off or do you notice the flex all the time?

Z06 is way over produced IMO. They sold more Z06's last year than all the NSX's sold (nearly 9000). A dealer near me has 15 Z06's on the lot.

Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution Meet the new 271-hp Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution for America, or the Evolution VIII if you already speak Evo lingo or have been following the breathless reports out of Japan. 2.0L turbo 4 with 271hp 273-TQ R&T test: 0-60 4.8sec 1/4 13.4@103 top speed 155mph

No doubt a 5 year old EVO will be worth around $12-16K IMO, but that's never stopped people from buying what they want. People like new cars. Do you think "what's it gonna be worth more in 5 years" even enters our head? Why don't you buy a CRX for $2K, put $28K in mutual funds and see...

Glad to hear that. :cool: BTW $100K to spend I'd be taking a long hard look at the GT3;) But the EVO plus $70K in the bank is not a bad deal.

That's true, it's more of a chopped and pieced together M5 but it was a style statement. And I think it is a very nice car.
