    Glad somebody agrees with me that they got more ugly recently. The older ones look damn cool though. If I was just going for looks though, shit I'd get an old Lamborghini! Or one of these...

      i still think it's a sweet looking car. and i'm definitely glad they got rid of the pop up lights - i really don't like those. but i am not buying a car soley based on looks. it definitely matters, but i have other criteria that sit above that.

            Well I really like looking at cars so I guess that's why I blab so much in this thread. But I'm being serious tho about the design -- I don't want you to join the rice racing team LOL...

                excellent performer on the racetrack, I saw it on revieved by Road and Track on Laguna Seca and it was amazing, if you can fit in it I would definetly buy it.

                  NSX + Comptech supercharger = 340 HP and 1,500 miles to a set of rear Potenzas.
                  One thing, I forgot this last detail: the Biz Markie will always prevail.

                      hummm... nice choice!! I would go for the 911 TURBO!!

                      BMW's are not great in the winter (here in Canada) because of the rear traction (sp?)! I don't know if you want a summer only car though.

                      IMO you can't go wrong with a 911 because it's such a classic bad ass beautiful and slick car!! LOL Did you notice how much I want one of these one day? LOL

                          LOL Fly - but really dude, there are just as many teams for every high end sports car built. who cares? i certainly don't.

                          still funny though.

                            i love the 911 too. reliablity is (apparently) the shits though. the turbo - that's even more money than the NSX - i think i'd go with the 911 targa or hardtop (Carrera). Also, the turbo (new ones) are another car that's very difficult to get ahold of...

                              You can afford better. Don't cheat yourself bro. I was already disturbed by the Honda you drive. Time to step up and enjoy some of that money you have been making.

                                BTW quiet, don't you already have a sport car (S2000) ?? Why get another one? Not that it's any of my buisness but I was under the impression that you really liked that car so I'm just wondering... Do you use it the winter? How does it handle our canadian winters?

                                  Very cool car, makes me wish that I kept my RX7, too bad the engine burnt out on that rotary wonder. The japanese make great sports, I can't say very much about their sedans all that I have test driven are pretty anemic

                                    PuppetMaster: didn't see your reply - sorry i haven't called bro, so damn busy it's insane. won't be making it to Van (i really planned on it )

                                    Julia: yeah, i have an S2000 - if i was to get an NSX i'd likely sell it. Yes, summer car only. When i broke up with my common law g/f she took the winter vehicle. I'm not concerned about that, i'll just buy something once it starts snowing - i don't have a passion for SUV's ;) as long as it will get myself and my snowboards to the mountains, i'm happy.

                                      cool... summer cars are fun! You are lucky to be able to choose between such awesome cars!! Hard work pays off I see...

                                        wasup, the nsx is a nice car but it feels abit dated, interior too. I've driven my friends back in 92 and the steering was way too heavy in slow traffic or getting out of the garage, don't know about the new ones, other than that if you like your s2000 you'll like the nsx. have you seen the new 996 C4S?

                                            The viper looks really cool though.
                                            Poor me, I can't afford either of them
                                            I would assume so, since the Viper is a muscle car, not a race car. I've heard that an s2000 could even beat a viper on a really twisty course... it is almost believable because the honda weighs so lightly. But, I really don't know. Also, I have heard road and track (or maybe it was top gear) test one of the venom vipers and they said during that clip that the old viper has already beat all their records for top speed, acceleration, and slalom - I found that hard to believe, but it implies that the viper handles quite well. Just because it has a lot of HP and torque, it doesn't mean that it can't handle worth shit. It may handle like shit, but having muscle doesn't imply it. So fuck knows...
