go with the M3

reasons why

#1- ya got HONDA power already why go for another EXTREME Honda power
#2- Time to try some new power, just like girls..need to change it sometime down the road!!
#3- the newer m3 is still new in design so it will not go out of style for the next 5 yrs..( get the light weight edition if possibile)
#4- I am asying those...cuz, i want one myself as well...
good luck with ya decision

I am new here, but I will go ahead and add my .02.

I am guessing they are the same price, and with that I will say the NSX.

Some numbers one each, just for quick reference.

M3:50k 333hp 0-60 in 4.7 1/4 of 13.2 60-0 in 111 (Motor Trend)

Neither my C&D or Motor trend had nsx numbers, sorry.

Anyways I have not even been in either, but the NSX I believe is faster hands down, Yes? And that the nsx is a mid-engined layout, which to me is neat. Practicality concerned, the m3 would win, but is that really the point here? Oh yea, the nsx looks so very very nice.

My .02,
Jacob Jones

Seeing as how you already drive an S2000, I'm guessing practicality is not a big issue. As such, I'd take the NSX hands down. It's about as quick as the M3 (driver's race), but handles better and is, in my opinion, more reliable. It also looks better (again, imo) and is more of a true sports car (not just a very sporty coupe). NSX all the way.

i would go with the nsx as well. the exotic look and the reliability would be the selling points for me. i see a a whole lot more new m3s than nsx's. either way it's a win/win...both cars are awesome!

Depends what you want.

But I would get an NSX since I already have a 4 seater.

I have owned an NSX and now have a s2000, I miss the NSX.
Maybe this will help, the NSX is an exotic, the M3 is not.
If you buy an M3 you WILL want a NSX someday, if you buy a
NSX, you will not feel the need to own a M3.
The NSX is MUCH more reliable.

Is this really much of a contest when you dont bring practicality into the picture? I think not.
