NSX parked next to a ________ thread for size comparos

[cleandmc]

Been meaning to take pics of my new 91 Sebring Silver NSX next to my other two "silver" cars. An 82 DeLorean "DMC" and my daily driver 89 Acura Legend LS in Seattle Silver. I believe the NSX and DMC actually share a lot of the same design cues. And the Generation 1 Legend shares the same rear light design as the NSX, which is kind of neat. It's interesting to note how low the Legend sits compared to modern day sedans. It looks fairly normal next to the NSX in terms of roof height, etc.

An interesting fact regarding John DeLorean and the NSX is that he owned a Yellow one, pictured below. We spoke at great lengths about how he thought the NSX was the best sports car ever built. That picture is from 1999. He was absolutely in aww of this car. Enjoy!

Awesome ,is that you and Jhon Delorean in that picture?

 

[cleandmc]

Yep, that's me in my younger days. I was very involved in the DeLorean community for a long time and ended up befriending JZD and his kids.

Cars I could afford and would let go of the NSX for:

997.2 GT3RS
V10 Audi R8
Ford GT (well this one is getting really pricey again so I don't know lol)

All of the above mentioned are very special cars and retain their value well. Ford GT is appreciating. Only other car that's somewhat doing this right now are the GT-Rs but they don't have the option to let me row through my own gears.

997.1 or 997.2 GT3 RS and ford gt are definitely top of my list. I'm not quite keen on the r8. Nonetheless the nsx has its own appeal.

With some manufacturers now dropping the traditional manual gearbox it's only a matter of time before you will have to look at previous models to get them. There really is no better time than now to get the manual gearbox car you want.

It's really a good time to get a manual gear box car... In fact I'm thinking time might me running out.

Which hood do you have?

 

[redtide]

Duraflex. Had to do a lot of modifications and adjustments to get that fitment.

Ah I see. I noticed it has the wider scoop than the usual R hoods, and it looks like you did a really good job with the fitment.

Agree with FGT appreciating...so (it seems) is the BMW Z8.

The size difference is amazing!

The minivan insisted on parking beside me in front of the unoccupied Unit even though there were like 20 other spots that were free...

Had to move two cars out of the garage yesterday to mow the lawn.

The BMW is a 1994 318ic. The NSX is a 1995. When they are apart, the NSX looks much bigger. When they are together, you can see that they actually are about the same length, and the BMW is 7" taller. I think the complex curves of the NSX make it appear much larger. A

Also, even though the NSX was dated to 1991 and the BMW convertible came out in 1994, note how much more modern the NSX looks.

Of course, the NSX stickered for more than 2x the BMW.
