Well guys, I've been in a "sometimes heated" discussion defending the NSX on the Ferrari board. It looks like one of the Ferrari guys is defending the NSX as well.

This is not a call for flamers to jump on the F-board, just an FYI.

Just wondering - Does this make me a "troll" by doing this?

Edit: After re-reading my posts, I think I was actually taking on a troll-ish nature on the F-board. My apologies for any potential indirect association with the less "feisty" members of this board....

No, not at all. You were correct in stating that responses were defensive in nature, and that they were more or less mud-slinging without basis. A Ferrari has heritage, but many try to hide behind that badge of heritage, discounting other manufactures accomplishments. Such is the case with the NSX. While it IS a Honda, it certainly is not a Civic. Too bad that some fail to see the value is the NSX as the engineering milestone that it is.

Trolls stir crap without basis, of which you had.

Some of these Ferrari guys really crack me up sometimes. I read through the posts and laughed out loud when I got to the guy talking about heritage and memories.

Growing up I remember the Testarossa coming out and that was my dream car. Later in life I was able to purchase this "dream", I still own it because I would feel too guilty selling it to an unsuspecting person. This car has been nothing but problems and expense. I still think it is rolling art, well maybe stationairy art most of the time.

I also believe Ferrari has gotten better over the years and I wouldn't mind owning a new Ferrari and might some day. I think the reason for a substantial amount of this improvement was due to the NSX.

I truly hope that the new NSX puts the 360 and its replacement to shame at the track, I guess time will tell. If so, I will buy a new one in a minute!

I am also glad that this forum has a much better attitude than that forum and I am also glad that Allan has left us and is now driving them crazy!

It doesn't make you a troll but it's best not to step into others' territory as there are many biased people everywhere.

Nah, no apology necessary, but it is futile trying to educate the clueless. There are true sports car enthusiasts over there (hint: they're not the ones bashing the NSX), and it's refreshing to read their posts.

On a side note, that thread proves why "chit chatty" messages shouldn't be allowed in marketplace forums. Another area where the NSX community is ahead of the F-car crowd.

Surprise?

What does Nika mean with "former NSX racer" in case of Doug H.?? Doesn't he race the flamemobile any more since he's a daddy?

Doug still races his NSX. He was there with us @ Hollywood Park Auto-X. So was Wayne.
