WTF??? lol....

You know each car in its own has its positives and negatives. Yeah I wound up buying a NSX. I love my car and it certainly turns alot more heads than any vette. Even though @ times I wish I would have bought something else when I have to pay an ungodly amount of money in order to service or replace something. But it's like they say you have to pay to play

I'm not a typical Honda fanboy as you call it, and I give respect where it is due. The Z06 is a great performer at almost half the price of an NSX. But it's still not an NSX. Whether the Acura is worth the cost is up to the buyer.

I think the 2 deciding factors between the cars would be Price Vs Performance.

The NSX is a very SEXY and Stylish car with outstanding aerodynamics, and interior. Hondas are well known for interiors and styling. BUT the only reason why I would not buy a NSX is because its TOO ****ing expensive! For $80K I could buy a porsche or even a Ferrari!! Maybe if the NSX was priced around $50-$60 MAX, It would been a more practical car to afford. But i would never buy a Japanese car for that price range.

Therefore I think the Corvette is an excellent and economical Sports car, But only if it had a better interior than the new NSX....

If it were for performance and price, then definaltey the Corvette, and if it was for style/interior/aerodynamics and more pussy then definately the NSX!!

i know there's more to aerodynamics than coefficient of drag, but a quick google search told me that the nsx has a Cd of .30, the C5 is .29, and the C6 is .28

You obviously have no idea how much Ferraris cost. For $80K you won't get anything less than 8 years old.


You can't get a NEW 360 Modena for anything less than 200 grand, and that's the least expensive Ferrari.

So... you're quoting prices for an old Ferrari, and comparing them to prices for a new NSX. Yeah, that makes a lot of sense....

Hey, I think the new TL is way overpriced. You have to spend ~$32K to get one. For that amount of money, you could buy a nice NSX!!!
