Well, if finally happened -- I bit the bullet and sold my '99 C5 Hardtop. It was a great car, and my fourth Corvette. While the car was a huge improvement over the previous models, it still had the unfortunate Chevrolet touch -- an abundance of plastic and a shortage of reliability. It will, however, be hard to match the great low end grunt of the tried and true V8. For those who have driven the new C5 and compared the car to the previous models, I'm sure you will agree that the rigidity of the chassis and the outward visibility is a world better that it was.
Anyway, since 1991, I have admired the NSX. I have collected the important memorabilia, including the glossy hard bound book which Acura released in 91, and which remains a high water mark of promotional literature. I have poured over my back issues of Car and Driver and Road and Track, and read the glowing reviews generally given to the NSX. I have driven the car, and I got a taste of the Acura mystique when I bought a new 1994 Legend Coupe, which I drove for three years.
The time has now come to join the ranks of NSX owners. After the sale of the Corvette along with other funds, I have a modest amount to spend -- around $50,000 -- for my NSX. This amount, of course, means that my search will focus on low mileage cars in the 93-94 range.
If any of you have pearls of wisdom to share with me as I press forward with my search, I would very much appreciate hearing from you. I have read and enjoyed your various posts for several months now, and yes, I have read EVERY WORD of the FAQ section of this site. Please tell me what you think I need to know! Thanks.
