I have driven many different nsx's alone, from being stock 91-2004 to purpose built tracked cars... The NSX is a whole different car than any other. The owner of the shop owns 2 NSX's, of which i have driven around quite a bit and i can tell you that even the porsche/corvette drivers gawk at the NSX when you drive by. The NSX like other honda's, is not a car that you would buy if you wanted to brag about HP. The reason you would buy an NSX is because it is THE NSX. If i had about another 10k i could put into a car i myself would be driving around in a nice black 91 NSX a customer is selling for 21k

I totally agree with you !!!
I heard some of people talking about NSX on the street when they see my NSX. Sometimes, people will just judge cars without any knowledge that really makes me laugh In fact, they don't even drive a sport car; how do they know exactly the performence between NSX, Corvette, or Porsche ? I really feel sad for them when they are talking about which car is good and which ain't.
Before I got my NSX, I've $40k in hand. I've checked out the Corvette C5 & Z06. The performence is really impress me; however, personally I don't like the quality of Int. Most area are plastic made, and even the leather is not that well-quality. By the way, when the sales started the Z06 engine, I could feel directly from the car was kind of shaking. I believe it might because of Z06 is kind of a muslce car. It happens normally. Then I saw a use '92 20k miles NSX, I tested drive right away. You know what, I just love it. It's an old car; but the quality is really impresived. Now, we're talking about $40 range. I just put the down payment right after I drove NSX.

Honda's quality is defnly good. In year 2002, Canadian reported the best reliable car is Acura. Is there any question ?
