  For me a sports/performance car has to have 3 things:Looks,Sound and Performance.While the NSX has great performance it sounds lousy and its looks are generic at best(looks like any other rice rocket,stealth,supra,plastic looking car).Most exotic cars sound like coffee grinders and are annoying ie Porsche is the worst sounding car ever-its really,really lame. If i had 80k to blow Id get any hot 60s muscle car which blows away an nsx in looks and sound and you get a pretty beefy engine thats easy to repair and has plenty of history.Here are the cars imho that blow away an NSX in looks and sound(forget handling but performance-wise they may be even with nsx): Any 60s big block Vette any 65-68 Shelby. any 440 or hemi cuda/charger any big block 69-70 el camino/cutlass 442 any big block 67-69 Camaro These cars are about a quarter to half the price of an nsx but unlike the nsx they appreciate in value.
