    Remind Me to Never Complain...

    That is about right if you are getting work done at a dealer. V12 Ferrari maintaince bills can hit 5 figures, but on average never more then once every 5/6 years.

    Is the NSX without equal?

    How Fast is Fast for an NSX?

    If Indytech is who I think he is from FC, then I am pretty sure I have seen pictures of his hanger (and cars) before.

    Honda builds 500HP RWD car...

    That very well could have been the reason...ie to help promote 'look our box is so stable it doesnt roll over'..

    Re: Compare 328 NSX NSX is has better handling, is more comfortable, faster, brakes better, better radio, better climate control. The NSX also wins in highway driving, no question. The NSX is a better car, in all logical terms. So you might wonder why I ended up selling it... Well the Ferrari...

    I bought a 328GTS...didn't sell my NSX for it. I had both my NSX and 328 for about half a year together after that.

    How To Bring NSX-handling Up To Date

    S03s are old rubber now (though I still have it on everything). The new rubber 'to have' is the PS2. :cool:

    The 512M is very under appreciated. Only 75 in the US, about 430hp factory at crank in a lightened 512 body...the car actually weighed not much more than a 355 (and less then a 355spider!). Now , remove the cats (precats included), and exhaust + headers, and add a chip and you will be able to...

    Well said. Trust me, if you think I am vocal in defending a 3x8, you should ask Netviper how much I defend the NSX when the tables are turned. I love both cars, I just don't like people make naive assumptions about either.

    Which Ferrari's are uncomfortable? I can't think of one that is less comfortable then an elise with sport suspension. If you say ANY of the early 3x8 cars, I cannot understand as they are more comfortable and roomy then an elise, with the later cars even more so. Slow? You are talking about...

    Actually, I was here first then moved to FC after I sold my NSX. I still come back every so often and browse and sometimes post, though not as often. I was using my "seat of pants feel" from experiance with both cars, the NA2 being my own, and the 360 was of a friend's. I actually like the...

    How polar everyone is to the wheels really really amazes me. You either love 'em or hate 'em. :rolleyes:

    348 or NSX thread on Ferarri chat

    And you base this on how many Ferraris you have owned? I personally know quite a few people who use 3x8s are daily drivers and they work just fine. I assume you think a 360CS also is a crap car as its uncomfortable? A real sports car should not be comfortable...that is what GT cars are for...

    Most ridiculous question: Did you give your NSX a name?

    I used to call mine "Nex" or "Nina."

    Well if you think that is bad...you should see some of their sedan designs! :tongue: (not including the 4port, which I actually like)

    I should probably correct myself: Faster in some respects, slower in others.

    348 or NSX thread on Ferarri chat

    What has changed is that the 348 is considered a 'classic' ferrari, whereas the NSX STILL is considered a modern car by most.

    Pininfarina is just a design studio. Not all Ferrari's are Pinin's, and not all Pinin's are Ferraris. What Pinin does is relatively independent of Ferrari and vice versa, though as of late Ferrari works very closely with Pinin on joint-projects to insure proper aero.

    Though the NSX NA2 is about the same as a 355, a 360 is a bit faster, if not on paper, in real life. It feels more torquey.

    Ironic. Most of the owners on FC actually have owned a larger variety of cars then you can imagine, if not still do.

    Incidently the 355 was the car that saved the company from going broke in the mid 90s.

    348 or NSX thread on Ferarri chat

    512TR's fixed most of the issues with the original TR and put it in a package that was nearly as fast as a 355. The F512m fixed just about every thing...

    They didn't make a TR in 92, only a 512TR which is still in relative demand (prices have been pretty steady for a few years now at 90-100k, though as of late some have crept up).
