Read in the local paper: NSX getting the boot Options

[boosted_K2]

I read in the local paper that the 2006 NSX will be scrapped in the US because it cannot meet the new more strict safety regulations... bye bye NSX.

[Cutrara]

Aw, man i love NSXs too

[OrbitalGT95]

not like i could afford one :\

[creis]

whats rong with the us thies days, is it so hard to let a few nice cars in, you think they would want the tax money from the high end cars but no, they have to go and shut out another one.

[lagos]

i think ive only seen one nsx in my life. its cool, but a very over priced car.

[chicklover345]

you said it lagos

[95gtschick]

canada's even worse.. we can't even have the Evo There's 2 in Manitoba, i've seen one of them.. so nice

[ghostdog]

they aren't that overpriced, and not all that uncommon either. I've seen a few rolling around here, even saw a beautiful '05 just the other day

[Blakout16]

in my tiny little area there are 6 nsx's...

****, the NSX is a wonderful car. My buddy has one and I rode in it, ah it was sex.

It's a great car, but seeing how a skilled driver in an MR2 Turbo could keep up it's very overpriced, $40,000 and you have a good deal.

It's been like over more than 10 years and this car looks almost the same sh!t without any major redesign....

But it's still freaking hot!

Well if a pro driver was to take an NSX and an MR2 out on a road course, I think the NSX would pull better times. NSX is built to be a track car, not a drag car. Cuz if you did turn the boost up on an MR2, you could very much run with an NSX

[darksecret]

You're right but the Turbo also requires skill to drive due to a lack of electronic support. The NSX is great but when a $7,000 (retail) 10 year old used car can run with a $33,000 (retail) 10 year old car it takes away from the glory of having a track car. Also don't forget the new version being a "supercar" only pulls .93 on the skid pad where as the '96 Supra pulls a .94 and even new cost half. Like I said the NSX is a great car and I love the looks, but it's overpriced by about $50,000 (MSRP is close to $90,000).

Japan has the NSX-R... nuff said

[darksecret]

Key word...Japan.

[SlowCelica94]

True about the skidpad. But the nsx has a certain "driver's car" vibe to it. The brakes are nothing to scuff at, driver placement, interior setup for driving expirence, weight distribution, ect.

Is it overpriced? Probably not. Is it worth that much to me? Nah, but I've said it again and again. If you want a supercar for cheap, put an LS1 in an FD. Done. And all for 15-20k. God bless Hinson and Granny.

Yeah but the whole driver's car thing is blurred, a true driver's car is one where the driver controls how the car acts, that is why the Lotus Elise is considered a true driver's car, it doesn't come with anything and you better know what you're doing before flooring it, the NSX has to many goodies so a half experienced driver can drive it like they've been doing it for years, it's the main reason the Evo gets chosen over the STi in comparos, it's more of a driver's car. Now as I said before the NSX is a great car, but it really isn't up to par with cars like the Modena 360, Ford GT, Carrera S, etc. that it is classified with, it's more in the MR2, Elise, and other lower (Elise is expensive but $60,000 is still a lot less than $90,000 and it's a Lotus which is known as an exotic manufacturer, unlike Honda) cost rear engined cars (even I wouldn't diss the NSX by adding Fiero in there, and I feel Hondas are overrated).

[celicaboston1983]

thought the new elise is about 40k

[darksecret]

My mistake it starts at $43,000 still pricey but not bad, I think there was a euro version that had a Chevy 350, or maybe it was a kit car.
