Now how would you feel about an instance where someone has raced that particular car, though not actually driving it, would that qualify or have some titlement towards this argument of experiencing its qualities, assuming the opposing driver was doing the car justice?

If someone is doing an NSX justice they're on a road-course, and respect will be given or taken, the car is that good. The only way I can see someone not respecting the NSX's abilities in its element, is if it's way out-modded. Think about how much extra weight Peter Cunningham had to carry in the Realtime NSX to even the playing field. The car is a monster.

Yeah it trully is a special car, and I for one certainly appreciate what it is as well as my S. They both have quite a passionate following. I'm sure we can all agree on that.

They should be no more than like $50k brand new. And yes I plan on getting one if my future is bright enough. 
The NSX is largly aluminum, which accounts for the high cost, and as with most flagships, Honda loses money on each and every one. In fact, of the vehicles manufacured at the Takanezawa Plant (NSX, Insight, S2000), only the S2000 turns a profit, and it's well under the industry standard for a 2-seat convertible.

Hey Thanks!
I was doing some research on the NSX forums this eve since running one today boosted my interest. Average slower times for the NSX I have found is 13.5 in the quarter. Some as low as 12.9 but rare. Stock for stock they average about 1 sec faster then an S2000 in the quarter and 0-60, so yes I agree with you, still to slow but like the s2000, they are a pretty unique car with the rear engine Vtec v6, all aluminum chassis. They are kind of like our big brother. Although as I proved today and on another occasion, not so big. They are just a great looking car all the way around though. I've seen a few with a wide body kit and they just look stunning, like a GP car. very cool!
$80g's is more then I would spend on one, but for the layout could see how it would cost this. You could get a descent amount better performance from a vet for $25 less but the NSX is a much more cool and unique car. If they cost the same for example, I would take the power loss and get the NSX. I'd just mod it

Say, Now we are talking reliable? How about honda civic that is one reliable car to own.
1. cheap + reliable = sow
2. fast + cheap = not reliable
3. fast + reliable = not cheap = +$150,000
1. cheap + reliable = sow

Fast+cheap+reliable=the only one obvious car=
