NSX's On US-29

[RandomGuy]

I was driving past the Autozone on US29 and i see like 20 NSX's ... I pulled in... took a looking and then left... Some NICE ASS NSX's ... seriously thats one car I have a goal to own when I can.
There was a NICE copper-ish-reddish one w/chrome rims... and a nice silver w/black rims. Seemed like some sort of NSX only meet.

anyways Anyone on here?

That would be a dream. Walk down to the nearest AutoZone and pick up a nice set of HREs... Instead, I get to go look at spinner hub caps.

[The Ren]

Seriously.. Id love to beable to go to autozone and pick up a set of BBS's... that will never happen though...

[Kevykev]

I'm sure they can 3rd party those wheels guys! :)

Hope might still be alive!

[ARFNSX]

We were hanging out at the autozone (opps I meant Sangrias) catching up with the other owners we havent seen in a while. You should have stopped by. Most of the owners are pretty cool and love talking about cars although it was cold as shit after standing out there for 3 hours.

^^ A real 308... is that not exotic by your definition... The NSX will dust the socks outta that.... i know its like comparing apples and oranges ... but still the NSX IS an exotic... how often do you see them?

[YokotaS13]

back home, often, in south georgia, never.
I guess its just the stigma that its a honda, adn well its a honda. Most people envision supercars as like lotus, ferrari, jaguar, saleen etc

I love the NSX, i love the lines of the car and the interior, i heard the clutch change is a PITA though

[mp5o]

You honestly think that Ferrari you just posted has a cheaper/easier clutch change? The NSX is probably the only exotic car you can drive everyday and not have to worry about reliability.

Honestly, you don't think nothing of it until you drive it. Once you drive it, its a whole different feeling and reality. 13 years of production and car Top Gear and Fifth Gear are still praising and it use it for comparisons. Low 13's in an NSX is still plenty quick. Granted most exotics now are pushing 11's and 12's... but we are talking about a 13 year old car.

With all of this being said what do you consider an exotic car? My definition of an exotic car is a car that is rare, striking looking vehicle with a performance edge. If you think about any other exotic car, wouldnt all of those rules apply?

I have owned several NSXs as well as several other exotics...In fact before buying this NSX, I was going to get the F355. I drove 5 different cars all around the country and although I think the Ferrari looks better, the performance and reliability goes to the NSX hands down. It is underpowered and needs bigger brakes but on the track out of the box, it whips up on most other cars out there.

If you are trying to say the fact you can buy a 15 year old NSX with 125k miles on it for 20k discredits it as an exotic...does that mean the new 05 NSX that cost 90k is one? I do not get the co-relation.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I really have to disagree with the NSX not being an exotic.

[RandomGuy]

if that nsx in the sig is yours... i saw you in front of autozone ;)

[JustinSane110™]

I think I agree to an extent with both sides of the argument, I consider it an exotic, but not on the level of exotic like a Lamborghini which is what I think he was trying to say. I disagree with the analogy that it can't be exotic based on it being a Honda. Goin by that thinking, does that mean the Ford GT isn't exotic since its a Ford?

[ARFNSX]

if that nsx in the sig is yours... i saw you in front of autozone ;)

Yep, that was me! Were people standing outside? We went inside to eat for a couple of hours.

I want to thank everyone for defending the NSX. I have to give you guys a ride.

[ARFNSX]

The Ford GT is an exotic base on my description. Rare, striking with an performance edge. Although the NSX is not a Lamborghini or a Ferrari it is still an exotic. There are several different type of exotic at different cost points but if you remember the definition, you will be ok.

Good, we're on the same page. :goodjob:
I wasn't questioning whether it was exotic or not, I definitely say the GT is exotic. It was more rhetorical, lol.

[gtikid]

I kind of consider the NSX an exotic. Don't get me wrong, i love the car and it is rare to see one. And even when i do see one, i do drool over it. The part that kind of throws me off is that it's a Honda. But once you think past that, yes it is an exotic.

I guess most people consider Lambos, Ferraris, Maserati's, etc... as exotics b/c those are super super rare and very expensive.

Either way, i love the NSX :goodjob:

Why does every body use the excuse "It's a Honda." or "It's still just a Honda." or "It's only a Honda." or similar terms???

Anyone care to explain what they think is soooOOooo bad about Hondas?

[ARFNSX]

HONDA is in the lead when with comes to CART Racing. They cant be that bad!?!

LOL, yea but most people think of everything you said in between the "shitload of money to repair."

Besides, i never said there was anything wrong with a Honda. And it's not like i knocked on a Honda or anything like that.

Now, when i say the word: "Honda", honestly, HONESTLY, what do you think?

[mp5o]

If i say the word: "Lamborghini" to you, what are your first thoughts immediately?

High maintnence.
Low performance:price ratio.
Something I'd never buy even if I had more than enough money.

but see a lambo is all about class and prestige. I'd rock the hell outa a 30th anniversary countache... simply because not many people have 'em. Its a rare sight and just sheer pimpness. People buying them likely would care less about performance... for the price you're paying you can make something homebrew perform better in every way... but its all about the label "Lamborghini"... Sure they cant sell no lambo with a b16 in it and expect it to sell, but its all about the their image... Pimp ass cars, which are also potent, rare and expensive.

Thats the thing. Its just a matter of personal opinion.

I could give a fuck less about a "label" or how *expensive* a car is.

nah but the difference is that i DO think the NSX is an exotic... it strays from the typical "Honda" ... back then how many 6speeders were there? Shit sat LOW to the ground... super-duper well engineered. $90k... even for that much you coulda built a faster car... (well... this will be contested, duh... i know honda spent mad money engineering the shit... but lets pretend ok?) The car has "prestige pricing" you know those who can buy them will...

the definition of exotic is liek something thats fuckin unusual, and not a daily site, or RARE.... both of these apply directly to the NSX. and lol back in like 94 or somethin i had an "exotic car calendar".... and you best bet it had an NSX in it(along with diablos, buggati's, ferraris; the italian monsters, etc).... lol I still have it if anyone wants proof lol.

that solidifies the claim that NSX's ARE exotic

[gtikid]

Fine, how about we make a poll seeing what people would rather drive.

A Honda or a Lambo

We're not debating here about price or best bang for the buck, none of that. Just what they would drive. ANY HONDA vs ANY LAMBO

I didn't claim it wasn't. Just not as rare as other shit. I see more NSX's than i do Lambo's/Ferrari's/Porsches/etc.

[RandomGuy]

i know a good question to ask. Mike, (mp50)

say you had a choice between two cars.
A skyline GTR R34 Vspec decked out to the fullest 1000whp, 8 second 1/4 mile car handles like a dream and everything right.
or a
Ferrari Enzo. (stock)

(lets say this hypothetical skyline outperforms this enzo in every way/shape/form.... but in some categories, only by a small margin)

what would you pick and why?

[A1EX]

Not me. I need to know where you live :D
oh no lol i dont see either were i live but when i go to florida i see far more lambos and ferraris than nsx's

Truthfully, I would pick the Enzo. Wondering why? Well, I do not like to "take credit" for other peoples work. I honestly couldnt call that r34 *MINE* due to the fact that I didnt build it/design it.

I'd pick the enzo and sell it. Then live happily ever after. :goodjob:

ok again ur avoiding the purpose of the question...
if selling it was NOT an option... do you know which car would you keep, and drive... or own.
and the ferrari is someone ELSE's work also... you didnt build nor design it. now lets say this skyline was tuned by nismo... all of the mods and what not... what would you pick?

What I mean by "building/designing it" comes after it has been manufactured. Basiclly, taking a stock vehicle... And making it your own. Its kind of like expressing yourself. Now the original question says that the Enzo is bone stock. Meaning theres potential to make it my own. And not just a work of someone else(IMO).

Back to the question... I'd take the skyline... You wanna talk about something rare? Something you dont see everyday? Well that's it. Anyone rich enough to afford one buys a Ferrari(Or something similar).

ok now cool... the skyline was a bad example..cuz i didnt factor that they are also rare... but cool thats the difference... You have no value for cars with "Class and Prestige"

i woulda chosen the enzo hands down... Even if the enzo ran a 15 in the quarter. fact is, it runs 11s bone stock... which even adds to the sweetness. Now say you stop somewhere... they hear your LOUD ASS turbo spooling up and blowing off... ppl are like whoa.... If an enzo simply stops... people are like holy shit wowzers :jerkit:
ya know? Thats prestige

Enzo = SUPER DUPER RARE/expensive, epitome of exotic

honda marketed the NSX as an "exotic" specially back then, who the fuck paid 90k for a japanese import? Partially why the Z32 twins (some hit $70k new) failed... they were marketed as "corvette killers" or whatever but it wasn't an "EXOTIC" , whereas the NSX was "FLAGSHIP ACURA" and thats why NSX's are still sold.

Thats just the thing though man. I could giva fuck less if people say "wow' or not. Its about what I want. Other peoples opinions on my car wether they're good or bad don't influence my choice of cars or modifications what so ever.

But, yea... Thats just me and how I feel. Im sure 90% of people would choose the enzo. Who cares? ;)
