you know, in my time on this forum I read alot of crap and lost my mind many times...but the other night i came to a realization...cars are art....art is an expression, a feeling, a passion...art only has value to a person when there is a connection...a car could cost a million bucks and be the newest greatest thing,but to a man that has no interest in it, it isn't worth a buck...i have argued many times on here to defend the nsx, but now I won't...i realized, to me the nsx is the pinnacle....to others it may be nothing, but that doesn't matter...beauty is in the eye of the beholder.....happiness is not bought, it is felt.

 

YOU STILL DIDN'T ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.

1. Why are Audi, and Jaguar using Al if it so corrosive, and has metal fatigue.

2. What 15k-20k sedans have Titanium CR, 8000 red line, 90hp/liter, Al control arms, and chassis.

 

the reply will be "who cares"

but SOME people do care, for the same reason why I'm willing to pay extra for a ThinkPad and not a Latitude....

Steve C will not answer questions once it's shown that he is full of himself.

still waiting how you can justify the price of a 911 turbo over a z06 (besides the 2 useless seats).....

 

Now you are catching on. Steve C is used to making bold remarks. However, when we try to pin him down on his points, all he can come up with are one liners.

 

he's not the only one making bold statements with little to no proof.

 

My car is having a cigarette as we speak.

 

It doesn't. No of us "Honda fanbois" ever claimed that. All of us would agree that the NSX is underpowered, and overpriced at MSRP. It needs to be updated.

However, that's not what the arguement is about. The arguement is now about Steve C making bold statements and not being able to back it up. If he did it once or twice then it would fine. However, this is 20th? NSX thread, and keeps repeating the same stuff over and over again. However, when asked to back it up..... well good luck with that one.

 

I've really enjoyed this thread, I don't have anything of value to add.. but I just gotta laugh at the one guy plugging the Tommy Kaira, and over here in left field we have.....

for the money, I'd have a Noble in my driveway.. but wait, that is equally useless information.

carry on

 

Why does anyone have to come up with a car with those listed things on it?

You're making a self-fulfilling argument.

Are you seriously telling me 4-channel ABS and revving past 8000 RPM is some display of overall excellence?

 

Actually I will make a comment, todays Top Gear compared racing cars from 10-20 years ago to thier modern day off the shelf counterparts.

In almost ever case the consumer available (new) car outperformed the dedicated race cars of long ago.

those cars are dated, but a real vintage GT40 (which was still wicked fast ) is desirable at any level. Some, I would presume would think it sucks compared to the latest offerings.

this post has gone on so long, I don't even remember the original intent of it.

I'll offer this.. 300SL, XKE, XK120, Dino, 365 GTB, these cars are all dated, an accord would outperform most of them.

So I guess my question is, if the NSX was killed years ago, would people be singing a differant tune? saying how great a car it was? does the fact that you can still buy a new one really change that?

And I submit my S2000 for an example, I love my MY 2000, I have no desire to more to an 04, and it is already outclassed, dare I say approching dated as well, if for some reason my car was trashed, and I was able to buy the same car 10 years from now, I would jump at the chance.

arguing the merrits of the car as the numbers tell it is only one side of the equation, is the NSX dated? define dated, with out telling me about new cars that are "better"
