Cool, it will be fun to see both JB and RB beat him!:biggrin:

mine was super-clean and the interior was unusually good (hardly any wear on the side bolsters). However, the condition of my paint, windsheild and headlight lenses was typical for a car w/ 100 K miles. Kinda looked like the previous owner drove through sandstorms. The paint is slightly...

a couple thoughts: NSX prices are very good right now (if you're a buyer, that is), esp. for the '02+ cars. I think the early NA1 cars are probably pretty close to the bottom of their depreciation, that is, I don't see them going much (if any) lower. If you buy from a botique dealer like...

neither, get a winter beater and spend the rest on track time (or you can sponsor my racing career:biggrin:)

Nice, like the color scheme and rims. Very clean looking car. congrats!

Thanks Ted, the testing is clearly nothing like the speed that must have been involved w/ the Massa projectile...

Ted, Please follow up on your comment re the differing standards between the Snell and other rating systems... Would be interesting to know how our helmets are tested against projectiles.. Jim

Dave Despain made some good points about safety in motorsports last night. Basically, would mean an end to open-wheel racing as we know it. As badly as I feel for Massa, I think the press and governing bodies are over-reacting to this incident. It was a freak accident, just as DaMatta's...

I agree w/ akira re recent styling trends except E30 is my favorite M3 and '02 plus is my favorite NSX... I saw a new 370Z last weekend, what a pig! Looks like all the Asain cars are getting fatter.

My friend has an E46 M3 w/ a Stage 3 Dinan tune and is putting down some 460 hp. The car is a monster and a blast to drive on the track (although it was raining off and on so I had to be a bit tenetive w/ it). That said, I much prefer the driving position and the overall feel of the NSX...

zactly...:biggrin:

Yeah, I've noticed that about Corvettes, the latest style always looks really modern and then quickly becomes dated. I don't care too much for the looks of the C6 unless it's a Z06 and has been lowered. I did see a ZR1 the other day and it is just bad-ass! As far as a classic design goes, the...

Back to the OP, I guess if you have to ask the question, you know the answer. No way the NSX will ever make more sense than a used C6 'vette. You either get it or you dont. My personal experience: Corvette, not enough soul; Elise, too much soul; NSX, just right.

mine says: 6N-PPE 71106-SLO

1 more thing... These are 2 very different cultures: Vettes still tend to be covetted by middle-aged white males who have a strong buy-American mentality. Seems like only a small fraction of 'vettes are tracked regularly, which is quite a shame as they are very competant track machines. You...

I enjoyed watching yesterday's race in Toronto. Seemed like old times seeing PT and Helio getting into it...:biggrin:

+1, that's why I'm back. 103,xxx and going strong!

Thanks for taking the time to post this. I really like the NSX-R clones, esp. w/ the white technomag wheels. beautiful car!

Re: Sounds like fun Yeah, Franz had a good weekend, so did my buddy Tony. He found 3 seconds, I lost 3 seconds. WTF?! very frustrating...:mad: I have a theory about Road America, I think it's those killer long straights that really magnify the difference between the fastest racers...

Can't use a HANS (or any other head and neck restraint system) w/ stock 3-point harnesses. Need a minimium of four points, the F2000 is a 6-point harness. If you are tracking your NSX regularly and aggressively, I'd recommend getting a full-on race seat and harnesses.

Re: close the deal........ yes, umbrella girl pics please!:biggrin: Oh, and as far as the doctor discount, I'll offer free breast exams for the umbrella girls!

Re: Sounds like fun when, where and how much? BTW, tell Wade I'm doing doubles in August, looking for redemption for my weak-ass showing last weekend!

Re: Hrant always told me "safer" intrinsicly, or safer 'cause I wont be there?:wink:

Re: We want the gore !!! Final damage: $9200. Fortunately, my liability is capped at a little more than half that as I am on the infrequent crasher program. Sorry, no pic's, didn't think to take them (or any broken bits and pieces off the car as souveniers for the bar-room or office). I...
