.....without actual fact
What "facts" do you have? The NSX is a "true exotic"? Are you kidding?

Let me see.

The intention of the nsx release was to target FERRARI, LAMBO, AND PORSCHE.

An engine with titanium connecting rods?

First production car to have all aluminum monocoque body?

Shall i go on?

Geez, a 3 second google search will provide enough info to shut you up for good.

You never learn man. You're simply hopeless.

Agreed.

"Exotic" is a purely subjective term, it has no exact definition. A true exotic in my book transcends normal cars in every measure of performance, as well as exclusivity. It is also modern, no more than about five years old. A Testarossa (or an NSX) is not an exotic, sorry, it's just an old car. A true exotic is something like the Koenigsegg CCX or the Ferrari 458 Italia - something you never see and if you do, your jaw drops.

I've always loved the NSX. You have a beautiful car Viking War Hammer. If I wasnt in love w/ the FD and already own 1, I think thats what I would save for! I remember seeing a NSX on craigslist 1 time w/ 430,xxx miles on the stock engine and trans for somn around $18k!lol talk about reliable.

1QWIK7 04-07-11 05:51 PM


Thanks man. I saved the pics because i know people get jealous when you post your car.

Looks amazing. But i assume you hear that over and over again.

Honestly, that looks more exotic than the FD.

But at least i can admit when i say, IN MY OPINION.

Other people wanna say, "in my book" and try to portray it as the truth.

That is mega LOLOL

yzf-r1 04-07-11 05:53 PM

"In my book" is another way of saying "in my opinion". Basic English comprehension ftw

The NSX looked good in it's time....

Thanks and yep, I posted a picture of that Odometer earlier in the thread. 4xx,xxx on the stock motor too. There are plenty of NSX's out there with crazy mileage on them.

I hope you still don't have the stock rubber bushings, because they would be shot, even if the car doesn't squeak or rattle that bad.

So a 1999 c12 Pagani Zonda isnt "exotic"?:scratch:

yzf-r1 04-07-11 06:01 PM

Ok, I might extend it another five years for truly exceptional cars like the Zonda - but time is not kind to any 'cutting edge' performance car

lol I was just refurring to a car I saw on craigslist 1 time. I was kinda amazed honestly! how does a sports car get that high of mileage, and still be a sports car?

I wouldn't even call it jealousy, I'm thinking some people/person are just trying to get a rise out of me. I just don't get it, especially coming from a so called Christian, someone I've taken up for in the past.

Funkspectrum 04-07-11 06:09 PM

Hammer, I'd drive the piss out of your NSX. :icon_tup:

Right.

Difference here is i read and continue on.

You read, and if it doesnt comply WITH YOU, you shoot it down and create pages and pages of back and forth nonsense. Just like you did here when i said "you've arrived" and you got your period and started from there. So in fact, you started this whole thing. And i have to leave you alone?? LOL

Psychology 101.

I can read you like a book. And its constantly amusing me each time i see ANY post from you.

But im done with my interaction with you in this thread. I dont wanna get banned. Ill just wait til you do, AGAIN. The clock is already ticking.

My thought about the NSX:

Well I like Eric’s car as it is very nice looking indeed. The biggest thing IMO that the NSX has is its looks but overall I am not a fan of the car otherwise I’d own one by now.

When I test drove one back in 98 the interior reminded me of my friend’s honda accord. I remember thinking ‘this is a 90K car???’. But my main gripe with them is their HP output vs price. I see one on the road and they are just beautiful but at the same time I find their output right down embarrassing given how much they cost new.

This is what I'm talking about:
https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...1&d=1302218108

If I had to replace my FD with a realistic sports car it be a C6 Z06. I’d take that any day over Porsche, NSX, supra…But not over my seven. What can I say I love FD’s that is why I still own one.

lol wow really? I thought it was a 1 in a million finding a NSX w/ 4xx,xxx and now I found 2! how is she holding up for you? any problems because of the high miles, or is she running as good as she looks?

Someone gets it. It was a good looking car 15 years ago. The Testarossa looked good 20 years ago, too. Time rolls on....

Check out a used Noble M400. The Z06 is a tank by comparison.

No, not mine. My NSX has 75,xxx miles. I was just posting a picture of a members on NSXPRIME.

edit, passed the 76,000 mile mark today.
