yeah, that's what bothered me. I can't afford an NA2 anytime soon...but I've always loved NSXs and their overall performance balance

I just love the design as well...even if this one is a MY'92

But think about how much you're paying for a car that is 15 years old. 15 years of being beaten on, 15 years of sitting, 15 year old technology.

the car being beaten depends on the previous owner obviously...15 years of sitting doesn't bother...and the technology? The car's between the NA1 and the NA2 didn't change too much and it can still give the F360 a good run on the race track.

For an old car, it's still quite amazing and there is always room for some improvement. I just like the history and engineering behind the car.

Sorry. Lets hug it out :hugglez:



ON the other hand, NASCAR is a fucking retarded waste of time and sucks. So who cares. Not me.

i guarantee that theres not one person who posted in this thread who could race in a nascar race.

120+ temps, no p/s, average weight loss per race of 5-10 lbs...running cm's from the wall and other cars at 180mph+. you may not enjoy watching it but dont knock it.

I need to do one of those Richard Petty schools. It's been 4.5 years since I've been behind the wheel of a race car. :wtc:
