Your right though supratt for me those $100k benzs and rovers dont turn my head as much as seeing an nsx on the road ...the fact of the matter is the nsx still turns heads even to this day ...i guess not many people know what an nsx is ..but it is truly an exotic looking car ...timeless look
yeah my neighbor couldn't believe it was a 20 year old car... he thought it was one of my sisters rich guy friends as he had seen it driving around. after he found out how cheap it is, he jumped online to find one. lol. definitely a nice car still...
but haters gonna hate.

Totally agree Jeff. They could have decided to follow/3 be tough guys and etc and next thing you know I'm in a predicament where I'll be forced to respond in a similar way and that would have just lead to trouble. I'm 32 man, way too old for that crap...they just got under my skin at that time...
Meh, just take it as part of the game when you own such a unique car. Not everyone is going to bow down and compliment you (even though they should lol).
I think your wordy response was a bit too much of someone showing signs of getting riled up, which was what they intended to do. Flip the bird, and tear away!

Btw 5+ years of ownership and I have never encountered any hate. My buddies with Fcars though, is a different story.
Plus I think it helps that I look like yakuza.

Let's see some photos of your NSX. It could be just ur NSX and whatever mods u may have.
I get praises and wow's with my NSX. I'm sure most people on this forum have seen it. And couple that with the STMPO exhaust and SOS SC. I rev the engine and lots of the domestic guys snap their head around and can't even mutter a word. They have problems keeping their mouths closed.
The only comments I get is that my car looks and sounds like it belongs on the track.
Camaro is a nice car, not a POS that can't handle. I've seen plenty of 1G+ cornering Camaros out handle some really high end imports in autox.
late model camaros (like my GTO) do handle deceptively well with the right mods. Don't let their big bulky high centered look deceive u.
It would suck if the V-TEC wasn't suffice for the VORTECH. :biggrin:
Was this in Dubai?
I have a co worker that came across a NSX gathering a few years ago.
He is a 911 guy and approached the NSX group somewhere in ON and proceeded to ask about the NSX.
To sum it up he said that the NSX guys in Canada are VERY stuck up. So he kept the 911.

only mod that really matters is the driver mod... i'm willing to bet someone like that can't drive... :smile:
I mostly get really good comments and nods when I drive around...actually almost every time
I take it out. That's why I was surprised. I've posted pics of my car, it's an 03 red on tan...almost completely stock. I've lowered it an put spacers on to get the wheels flush with the fenders (all 4). On the inside I changed the deck to a touch screen unit. I like my cars clean
Well I saw butter's car last night and it is a looker. We experience some first hand nods when a businessman came out of no where almost ran us over to catch a closer look with his son. Mind you it's the first time I see a father with his 8-9 year old heading to a bar at 1am then approach two strangers in the parking lot standing next to their car and start yapping away about cars and talk about his business and personal interest. It was rather odd but we went along. We suspect he was already loaded before arriving. Just hope they got home safely.
This just to show that you can meet all kinds of people in your NSX. Some are more welcome than others. We just take it at face value and not be too bother by the attention.

And THAT my friend is just THE truth at its finest. "Haters are going to Hate." REGARDLESS! That same person would have had SOME negative thought about an F car or ANY Lamborghini. Trust me. Its in their nature lol. I think its done effortlessly. I haven't had many to hate on the NSX other than I once heard some guy debating with his friend who thought it was a Ferrari. He insisted it wasn't, but WAS a "want to be Ferrari". I almost said something, but chose to laugh myself honestly. Needless to say he was the passenger of the car smh. I have come across my share of haters though and I'm SURE there are more to come. I'm honestly flattered by it though

People like people who drive NSXs as a rule. I think Aston Martins fall into this category to.
A guy in a Camaro doesn't warrant any concern. If you said "nice Camaro" back, that should cover it. I mean it's a Camaro. Poor bastard.

I wasn't going to jump in on this, but after Jeff's comments about the Motor City I had to specifically relate two incidents. There have been other times when guys have commented stuff like "too bad you didn't buy American."
- about two years ago, driving down a county road outside Plymouth, scruffy looking dude driving an oncoming older Chrysler minivan flips me the bird. Never seen him or the minivan before, guess he was UAW rank and file member.
- three summers ago, 5 PM leave a place in Livonia, MI (Detroit W 'burb) where I had parked the NSX in ONE space with targa roof off/windows up and find a HUGE loogie spit onto my driver's door window. Guess he was a UAW rank and file member.

I don't understand why these idiots feel that we should support an inferior model of cars just to keep them employed. Part of the reason GM/Ford/Chrysler got into the mess they did is the ridiculous amount of money they have to pay these assembly line button pushers for their mundane tasks when they could have invested in design, research and quality to compete. Honda, Nissan and Toyota pay less but fare wages and get the same quality and output from their workers if not better. They also invest more into research and design and take pride in the quality of their vehicles. Something that "the big American 3" seem to be starting to do now but they still have to catch upto the track record of reliability set by the competitors across the pond.
Near the Windsor area, they have car stickers that read "want to be jobless? Keep buying foreign"..
I LOVE driving right up to them and smiling, hahaha ... I'm so unethical.

Speak with your dollars, and let them figure it out.
