I'd say Viper, since I'm debating getting a Viper GTS...not that i need another car. :tongue:
I went the viper route. And contrary to what alot of people here say, you CAN get a dodge warranty on it. I got a low mileage '97 GTS (8K on odo) coupe (blue with white stripes) for $47K and bought a dodge max care warranty sepereately. One hell of a fun ride.
Oops! Congrats on the NSX. Can't go wrong there! 
Have you thought of a GT40 kit car? Im not quite sure about the price of one but there pretty cool little cars. If I were to buy a cobra id build it myself because thats half the fun if your into that. But all in all the viper is what Id pick.
Edit: Nice car I didnt see you already made up your mind

Another NSXer is coming though town next week with a replacement NSX. Can't wait to sit down and toast that once-again NSX owner as well.

+1 on the viper
I think you make a great choice on the NSX, but if you are looking for raw power, I think you need to consider the LoveFab kit over the CTSC. The CTSC is a great kit, but it won't give you that feeling of accelleration you are looking for. It just doesn't have enough TQ. The Turbo on the other hand will wow you!
Of course, if you want to keep the car reliable, go I/H/E DONE.
How do you like the 97 compared to 95?

No, never heard of such crazy talk before I sold #2! :biggrin:
I think I just posted such a phrase in another post the other day.
SPINNER - I was looking a the Vipers pretty hard and would love to have had the exact car you found. As I'm sure you are well aware of, the blue / white stripes is THE most desirable color and was only made for two years (96 & 97 if I remember correctly). Great find. Enjoy the trememdous torque this car has.

So you went with the supermodel after all? That's probably a good thing, the nasty ones usually end up in the clinic sooner or later...
The metaphore that just won't stop...
Congrats! I have always thought that the yellow is stunning!

This '97 has comptech exhaust (the E in the traditional I/H/E). My last '95 had all three Comptech I/H/E, so there is probably less than 20 horsepower difference between these two cars. I would say it's a bit notible but I wouldn't represent that the 3.2 liter is going to be a tremendous differential. The six speed is nice since it eliminates some of the long first-second gear issues in the 5 speeds that I didn't really care for (of course, the short gears solve that problem). My first quick impressions after owning a '92 (3.0 liter 5 speed), a '95-T, and now the '97 with a 3.2 liter and 6 speed is that the NSX is the best car out there irrespective of what year you choose. I highly recommend NSX ownership over all else. Also, my wife made me promise to keep this one for a minimum of 4 years! She's tired of my "grass is greener over there" view and always coming back to the NSX.
