New Z06s are not, and never were 80+k. Just because people got price gouged, doesn't mean that's what they cost The '07's and newer went up quite a bit in price, but even then the MSRP was 68k, and you could get roughly 9k in options. So after taxes and such it's POSSIBLE to get the Z06 around 80k brand new, but you can't say that's the price of the car...especially the MSRP.

Also, Z06s are not 20k now. The C5's still cost well over 20k. They were still in the mid - high 30's (some low 40's) until the C6 came out, then they dropped in price. The NSX holds its value better, because there were hardly any made. The Corvette is mass produced, and even the limited Z06 has far more made than most rare or exotic cars.

The NSX had amazing styling in 1990, I'm not arguing that. I personally never thought they were THAT amazing looking, but I did think they looked pretty cool. Nowadays, I think they are pretty bland. Even the Gen1 Vipers looked tons better than any NSX ever has. I think a C6 Z06 blows the NSX out of the water as far as styling goes. Just because you see them more often, doesn't mean their styling isn't incredible.

Personally, I just don't think the NSX is "all that," even in how it looks. Like I said before, it's a cool car....it really is. But it's styling isn't anything that really "does it" for me, and it's extremely expensive, and doesn't have very good performance.
ill yield to you on the pricing of the C6 as i never bought one.

But ive seen C5 Z06s in low low 20s left an right. Some are still expensive, but the early z06 is relatively cheap.

Ive been looking at base model C6s, and they are just now breaking sub 30Ks. you are right some are still 30+, but some are trickling down in price

As far as the 90 ZR1, no idea, so i cant comment, well before my time. All i know is the NSX when it came out was like a ferrari for under $130,000 in terms of looks and interior.

Power wise its always lacked, but again, what honda doesnt. Its a track car, its made to drive in the mountains as gay as that sounds or some windy back road.

Im not arguing with you that the vette may be better in every aspect, i believe it is. I just think the NSX has a special market, and appealed to a different crowd than the vette has, along with other cars in its price range.
