You people all disappoint me. We get this far into a thread, and no one sees the title and responds....








..."And the prescription, is more cowbell!"
Sure, it's "fever," not "sickness," but I expected more out of all of you.

The beautiful thing about the internet is the way in which it quickly disseminates ignorance.

You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

A well maintained 1991 NSX will still repeatedly do 60 in the mid 5 second range. It will turn the quarter in the very low 14's. Unfortunately, the original 5 speed gearbox has too big a gap between 1st and 2nd gear so it does hurt "street racing" performance that is all too important to knuckleheads but unless you're talking about a tight autocross course, the extra HP, torque and superior aerodynamics of the NSX would leave an S2K in its wake on most road courses. And once you get over 60 mph... it's over.

Eh... I guess it is for the same reason people own and restore classic cars. It's an emotional thing, doesn't necessarily have to be a logical choice.
Yup, otherwise we'd all be driving '92 Corollas. Logic does not dictate the purchase of a sports car, no matter what it is.

I saw a guy riding a Harley today, personally I would have a difficult time choosing between a Harley and a root canal. But that guy looked like he was having the time of his life. To each his own.

But I wouldn't ditch my S2000 for a '91 NSX. I wouldn't mind owning a NSX, mind you (at least once I ditched the silly 15" wheels), but it's not a substitute.
