Hi guys,

It has been about 16 months I traded in my S2000 for the RX-8. As many of you know, I did this because of baby to be at the time.

I thought of you guys when I read about the NSX being killed by Honda.

I remember I went to the local Imports Car shop for a day and test drove 3 Porsche's (Boxster S, 911 (non-turbo), 911 Turbo), one Vette, and a NSX.

The NSX was by far the most fun car to drive out of the group. I know it wasnt as fast at the 911 Turbo or even the vette but that car was fun. You could more easily let the back in slide out from under you but still feel like you have control unlike the Vette IMO.

I liked the feel of the car. It felt like it was designed just for fun. It was not practical as many cars and felt very basic on the inside but man that was a great car.

Anyways, I did just want to drop in and say HI to all the S2000 owners! I do miss being able to pull down the top especially on nice days like this!

I hope all is going well and am glad to see the S2000 community is still strong! It is a great car. I like my RX-8 better as a daily driver but for pure backroad fun, the S2000 was the best especially for the price.

nsx is being brought back
confirmed with a V10!!!

I read that the successor would be released in a few years with a V-10.

The problem with the NSX is that it costs 80k+ and if you want supercar speeds, you can spend a lot less and get a Viper or even a Vette that would blow the doors off it in performance.

A few years ago, Honda had been rumored to be talking about changing the RX to get it down in the 40k price range. I guess that could not be done and still turn a profit.

I still would like to see a special edition S2k with the NSX V-6 in it and see what happens.

As for the V10 version, that is going to be so far out of my price range

Hi, good to hear from you. Glad you are enjoying the RX-8.
As for the new NSX I still can't see spending that much on a Honda. And with the v-10 I am sure they will jack the price up even more. I'm sure it will be an awsome car, but in the end you have a honda that you paid 100k give or take for.
