Main problems are just window, speaker amps and climate controls...all easy and cheap fixes.
1K rpm too high in an S2000 and you have bent valves, 2k in an NSX and you might still be safe.
they just paid extra attention to assembling it by hand...
I don't see anyone bashing the Diablos....they lose against Zo6s in almost all the categories, and cost at least 4x more, but no flaming? please......
And why did you buy a Turbo Porsche?

That's why I mentioned used. Everyone seems to talk about used Z06s, but never used NSXs.
So basicaly you bought a car that's alot more expensive than the Z06 because it has rear seats? I thought they were pretty even in numbers...
And regarding the Diablo comment, of course its an exotic, but still, people buy it because they like it.
People buy the S2000s even though Miatas have been known to outhandle it, people continue to buy 360s when the GT (also might be considered an exotic, will chew one up) for much cheaper, people will buy NSX because many things, people will buy Porsche Turbos because of the reasons you did, people will buy the Zo6 over a Porsche, because of its looks....its all subjective.
To say a car is a bad investment is pretty broad...unless its an enzo or a mclaren, all cars bad investments.
Will I buy an NSX for $80K, hell no....but I wouldn't want a Turbo either because every grandma here has one. I'll say it again, just buy the friggin car you want. No need to prove why, or explain why....

Thats one of the main reasons I chose the S2000 OVER a camaro, mustang, or trans-am. Overall performance and fun factor.
I just feel that in the NSX vs Z06 comparison, the NSX doesnt really have a decided edge in ANY PERFORMANCE factor.
