You know. . .

It needs be said that I am very impressed with the discussion on this thread. Very insightful reading and hashing of real facts. No personal attacks or arguing. Very, very cool!

A huge to you all!

Stop racing V6 Camaro's -- LS1 Z28's will run with and frequently beat the NSX in an acceleration contest.

Autocross is not the "racing" I was referring to.

The only NSX's I see are 90-92s I think and they still go for $50,000CDN at the Acura dealership. I actually hope there is another one around but I can't find it.

Of course I woudl want a new one but I can only afford to have it as my only car and I'm always worried that my cars would be scratched on purpose because even my Prelude and my dad's TL have been scratched.

4.9 0-60 for an S2K? They obviously had a car that was built on the day the car gods were smiling. Anyone on the board ever break 5s in 0-60 (using a G-Tech or something to time)?

JonBoy,

The Corvette is not tail happy...w/ good tires (i.e. not the run flats), it's VERY planted, and active handling makes it more so. I don't know where you've gathered that it's difficult to drive, either, since I found it very easy and only dangerous to the extent that you exceed the boundaries of common sense on the street.

I'll say it again, the Z06 is a supercar that compares against $100K+ competitors (911 Turbo and 360), while the NSX just looks like one. That's not to say the Z06 is necessarily a better choice, just depends on what's most important to the buyer.

Ah...okay. Man, I was going to say how amazing that would have been!
