You have no facts about a car you've never even touched before.

Practically no one buys the coupe. IIRC only 2 coupe versions were sold in 1996, or something like that. I think it was in R&T.

no? so, 290 hp isn't a fact? 224 ft lbs of torque isn't a fact?

oh, and under your definitions, what facts do you have about my car? obviously you've never touched it, but you feel the need to attack me.

The car is a 15+ year old design, it's past it's prime. Your comparison is assinine.

lol, your sh*tbox sentra is something special that I haven't looked at before?

I don't actually know what's wrong with them. I just know that you could basically find a barely driven one for nearly half the dealership price. That's a bit iffy.

exactly, it's past it's prime! it's time to move on! not to dump gobs of money into it! especially when you hurt the value like that. i could understand collecting the car. but to dump all that money into it, have it not be a collectible, and still get your doors blown off? that's what assinine.

and you haven't put your hands on my sentra, which is what you claimed was necessary to be a fact.

buying a supercar has nothing to do with how much hp it has ... it has to do with much you like it and like driving it. This person clearly loves his NSX.
I've driven an 03 and they are quite amazing. Nothing appliance about an NSX. I don't even know why you said that.

I think it's really cool for him to have done that. That takes alot of time and dedication, not to mention money. Cudos for him not settling for something close and going for exactly what he wants.

money better spent on a real supercar like an F430 rather than an appliance like the nsx.


Again, he's doing it b/c he's passionate about it- if it makes him happy, then how YOU'D spend his money is completely irrelvant.

But I won't disagree that the F430 is spectacular- but for well over 200K marked up and a 3 year waiting list in the US, it better be.
