NSXprime will provide better info. than my pea brain can remember but...

All NSX's sold in the US between 1991 and 1994 were coupes. All 1995 NSX's were Targa tops. 1996 - 2001 NSX's were available as Targa or coupes. The fixed roof coupe was treated as a "special order" item by most dealers in that final period and can be very hard to find.

NSX coupe's are stiffer than the S2000. NSX-T's are not (at least with the roof panel removed).

As many have said, daily maintenance (i.e. oil changes and minor services) shouldn't be that much more expensive than with the S. The tough part is finding a competent mechanic. Even some Acura dealers don't have properly qualified mechanics to work on the NSX becuase there just aren't enough cars out there to justify training all the mechanics. If you live in S. CA. or the Phoenix area you are lucky in that there are some really great privately owned shops that work exclusively on NSX (i.e. Mark Basch). Where the NSX can get expensive is in major service items (i.e. the clutch or timing belt change) or if you have an accident.

[B]To add to what has already been said above, I would also include "maintenance costs" If you can afford them, (no warranty)

 

It was 97 and later NSX's with the updated engine. Also, there is maintenance and there are repairs - maintenance on an NSX only varies by the number of cylinders. Repairs however, may be more common on a 10+ year old car that is out of warranty compared to a new S2000 with warranty.

[B]Agreed on both points.

I don't think a 91-93 NSX will be that much, if at all, quicker than the S2000.

I have to agree that, although the look is dated, it's still a sexy car.

 

91-95 NSXs do mid 13s.

I've talked to someone with a 91 nsx and pulled a 13.5. He put, I think, a 100 shot and did a 12.2.

 

Thanks for your input, guys!

 

These cars were 70,000CAD (45,000$ USD) new!! 11-12 years ago !! I was 13 years old when they released this car! don't buy a 12 year old car for 60% of it's original retail... that's just crazy! even if it is in good shape.. and aluminum is VERY difficult to get repaired.. so insurance is very high... and those 91-93 mags make the car look dated. the only reason I would tell you to get one is that it may very well be a collectors item in 10-20 years from now... and so it's value will have remained about the same if it's in good shape..
