Look at me, look at you, looking at me and my car! Wheeeee!
I'm in the same boat here. It's nice being able to go incognito in the NSX. :biggrin:
Expect some people to try to get you to race, drive recklessly to pass you, tailgate you to get a closer look, etc. Most people with these types of cars drive OK. It just seems that bad apples gravitate towards them.
When my car was being unloaded from the hauler some guy in a new corvette did a u-turn and came back to see the car. He said "is that a ferrari?" :frown: A couple of people mentioned people trying to race them and that is what i expected. But i have been pleasantly surprised that i have had many people in "rice rockets" catch up to me on the road, but they never try to race. They just look at the car or give a thumbs up. True the younger generation do give alot of attention to the car but it also comes from anyone with a true love of automobiles. Even the people from other car forums that post how they don't like the NSX will check it out. It seems that most kids love cars, just some of us never grow out of it.
. I never even give them a glance.
You need to move to memphis :smile: . Other than the common porsche's, amg's, m3's and the occasional bmw 7's I can't remember the last time i saw one of the others here. I did see a Countach about a month ago.
Why would you even mention the m3's and amg's
If you can handle the high crime rate and sharing the road with a couple thousand hummer's, come on up. Other than mine and my buddy PJ's, I haven't seen another nsx here in the past 8 years :biggrin: .
TitaniumVtec is up there in east tennessee at the foot of the mountains in maryville. East tennessee is wonderful, that is where i am originaly from, i had to move to memphis for work about 9 years ago :frown: . Memphis is nothing like the east. Here the land is flat, the crime rate is extreemly high and 22"+ wheels are on everything from camaro's to hummersThe biggest reason for a move to Tennessee would be the great roads:biggrin:. I went up there for the Tail of the Dragon run in '05 and it was incredible
My buddy TitaniumVtec (prime name) lives up in Tennessee and says he never sees an exotic car at all.
I mentioned the Beemers and AMGs because there are just Sooooo many of them. I know they are not "double take" kinda cars; however, they are extremely expensive. If they wanted to, they could have purchased an Exotic sports car. For that matter, they may well have one sitting at home:biggrin:

I don't know where you guys live but my area is hands down #1 in the USA for the highest concentration of luxury and exotic cars and I get TONS of attention with my car. I live in the dead center of Beverly Hills with Bel Air, West Hollywood, Pacific Palisades, Brentwood and Santa Monica being part of my local everyday stomping grounds; and despite the large number of exotics in my area I still get more than my share of attention. Every time I drive down Rodeo Dr. or any of the adjacent streets people are always taking pictures, turning their necks, etc....... It's not uncommon for owners of other more expensive cars (Ferrari's, Lambo's, etc.....) to chat me up, try to race me, etc., when they see me......
To be fair maybe my NSX gets more attention than most because you can hear my car from a block away and/or my car looks like it should not be driven on the street :biggrin:
