  There are a few misguided people out there - have some guidance: Firstly the question of soul - We are talking about a car here that the engineers took to a certain Mr Ayrton Senna to test the prototype and asked him for some feedback, he came back saying it wasn't good enough they redesigned 90% of the car until he was happy. If the soul of Ayrton Senna isn't good enough for you mere mortals then you should be testing formula one cars with a view to taking the world championship next year - let me know how you go. Sure shumaker might drive ferraris but im sure they don't go redesigning cars just because he doesn't like the way it drives and anyway he pales to Senna. There was a comment b4 about someone complaining about the fact that there are too many aftermarket parts for the NSX and few for the other 'established' marques - these company names are just for you (look em up sometime) : Koenig - AMG - RUF - Brabbus and anyway probably the reason why there aren't that many optio...

  A reply to B. Sullivan comments "have the balls to try and buy one"???? I didn't know balls were legal tender in car yards. If so which ones?? And to the boy racer aspect of sports cars, they are meant to be thrashed - to within thousandths of an inch of their lives, anybody who pays for a sports car should be capable of driving them to 90% of their capability (the cars) rather than just posing in their cars (look at me girls, i drive a lambourgini, i may not know the difference between oversteer and understeer but i do have a lambourgini, isn't it pretty). I have cherished all of my cars, spent money on the finest oils and racing fuel but expected something in return and that was the ability to put a huge grin on my face after doing something extremely illegal or stupid or both in them. And you also are stating that somehow a ferrari owner is greater than an NSX owner - that smacks of bullshit. They may have a more expensive car but few of them that i have met have been worthy of...

  Ok just a few quick comments to the above ramblings. Firstly i am engaged to be married so i dont care about the ability to pick up women with a car, truth is i have never relied on a car to pick up a woman (a motorbike did the trick once but that was a long time ago and it was more due to the fact that some women get horny when they have the fright of their lives) but i digress somewhat. Im afraid your comments about not wanting to reap benefits from a car that was built to race and prefering to cruise like grampa on a sunday would make the very creators sick to their souls - you say i have no idea but if you really knew anything about the reason for there being such cars as sports cars available to you and me you would realise that cruising in such a car is not an option - why not take your car to a track day and really get to know it? By the way who in the hell are Richard Petty or Dale Earnhardt? I think maybe you are confusing glorified dirt track racers for real racing d...

  Consider this my last reply on this messageboard to mr brev (im always right - even if i'm wrong) sullivan, as amusing as it may be for the other readers of this page here probably isn't the place for a shit slinging contest. Here i was only three posts ago waxing lyrical about the wonder of japanese technology known as the NSX (or new supercar xperiment (CRX was civic race xperiment)) when someone comes along and has a go at my boy racerness when i was merely informing the needmorepowerfreaks here that the car is capable of a lot more than it comes standard with. And then starts off on the virtues of his european exotic with a (short) heritage and didn't even consider that some one would prefer an NSX to a european supercar. As to a car being an investment - if someone in a truck hit it and smashed it - would it still be an investment or would you get market value? You then go on to slag off enthusiastic NSX owners - If there were as many Diablos around as NSX's im sure there wou...
