  I don't feel a need to reiterate all of the comments previously said. We all know that the NSX handles like a dream, accelerates damn quickly... Wait a minute... I just said I wasn't going to repeat all of that stuff. Anyway, I am 17, and I have a Chrysler's TC by Maserati. Don't get me wrong. The TC is an excellent car, it handles extremely well, it is fast enough for a first car and is the second most comftorable car I have ever been in (The Maserati Khamsin takes the trophy for one. If you have never sat in a Maser, you are really missing something) However, I would not consider my car an exotic sports car. Just a comfy sports car. The NSX is an exotic sports car. It has all of the elements of an exotic sports car. Plus, it has all of the desirable luxury qualities of a Lincoln (sans extra seats). I don't care if you all say that a Lambo handles and is better than an NSX (I have been on a test drive with the NSX) but lets face it. The majority of its owners while dri...

  I must say that I, for the most part, dislike Japanese cars. But I love the NSX (and the Jiotta Caspita, but that is another story.) My dad is about to buy an early NSX, '91 or '92, and I wanted to make a couple of comments and ask a couple of questions. First of all, you can get a faster car than the NSX for much less money. I saw a Jankel Tempest convertible for sale for about $35K. With 610 hp, that mo-fo will hop to 60 in 3.5 seconds and tops off at 200 mph. But there is nothing that can outhandle the NSX! I've test driven a Ferrari Mondial 3.2L cabriolet. Terrific car. But the handling is not comparable. The NSX handles like a Formula 1 racecar. What other production car can you say that about? Huh? Yeah, a C5 will get you to 60 1/10 second less, and costs 1/2 the price. Your fucking cobra SVT can out accelerate an NSX. The Viper, which looks like a squashed bug can out accelerate an NSX. But get onto the twisties with any one of these cars, and they are going to hav...

  Okay, first of all, I think that Camary comment was sarcasm. Secondly, I want to know why, Gabe, you dislike Jews. I don't say this nastily, I say it out of curiosity. Thirdly, I want to get to the NSX. People are dissing the NSX because it does not have enough horsepower, or because it doesn't cause whiplash with a touch of the pedal. The cars that do this are called MUSCLE CARS! Not SPORTS CARS! Sports cars take into consideration handling, stealthy looks, finesse, and speed as well. The NSX is not a muscle car. It is a sports car. Correction: It is the definition of a sports car. And, what is more, it is an exotic sports car. Unreliability is not a prerequisite to being an exotic sports car. The NSX is wonderful for all the above reasons, as well as that fact that is is reliable (120K, 150K, 200K miles? Cool...) I also want to post a question to all those who have owned (or known) owners of the NSX. What is the deal with the rear tires going so quickly? My dad is abo...
