Default S2000 evolves into?

Hey guys, quick intro here. had an s2k for about 4 years. Love it from 14k to 49k not one problem and lots of enjoyment. I love the car.

Anyhow i think its almost time to sell it (or amuse it out)

So im looking at the next level and here are my two options
a 2002 NSX or 2002 Porsche 996 (aka 911)

Obviously i want a rear engine car next time around. Here is the problem Id prolly wane towards the NSX, i have the same confidence that it will be A amazing and B reliable.

NSX perks
-High rev (vtec)
-Amazing looks
-Reliable

NSX downs
-Expensive for 2002

911-Perks
-Cars speaks for itself
-Classic look
-Cheaper

911-Downs
-Can imaging problems and high maintance
-Feel uncool pulling up to a turbo

Anyhow can someone shine some light on this subjuct. This is my first research towards this decision. Im thinking the NSX i love honda, and the edgy japanese look.
Anyhow be easy on me i know they are different cars but i really dont want to resort to a G35 or Evo for my next car.

Tom

Between a 911 or an NSX, that is quite the decision. I'd test drive them both and see which one really gets my blood boiling to the point where it would justify the cost.

Can't go wrong with either car, but I like the looks of the NSX better, I'd personally go for it.

That would be a very tough decision for me too... I would probably have to do a couple of test drives before making a decision

as a 2005 NSX owner for the past year....... take one for a spin.... it really isn't all that exciting......i ran 13.5 @ 106mph at the dragstrip on my best run.... blaaa... NSX's need more power.

the car handles well, looks good and has good quality but really isn't that exciting......

if you like people annoying you about the car then it may be the car for you.. .... I park mine right in the mix of other cars and still find people looking in it, taking cell pictures, etc......

Get a cobra mustang...faster and noisier...and cheaper....

How much are these cars? I believe people ask retarded prices for late-model NSXs, right? I'd get an '08 Vette or '08 Boxster S/Cayman S.

honestly, between the two, i'd rather have the 911. but if i was in the market, i'd also check out the new z06.
