Selling my NSX, getting a 348/355 - I think

[Three48]

I was with some Ferrari guys a few months back, they are just so passionate about their cars. I really enjoyed the company from a great group of guys.
I just don't get that with the NSX group.

Should I, or Shouldn't I???

 

[heySkippy]

or

?

I can't decide...

 

[RPM217]

I was going to make a smart ass response, and then I re-read my thread on what's going on, so I'm just going to bite me tongue and say.........you're asking this question on the wrong forum, over here, most of us are passionate about NSX's, but that being said, I ride with lots of F-guys, and I can tell you that they're just as passionate, it's not what I think, or anyone else on this site that matters, it's what stirs "your" passion. The sound of the 348/355 with or without a tubi is absolutely unique, the NSX's really can't compare, other than that, if your checkbook can withstand the maintenance issues on the 348/355 and that's what you lust for, go for it. Best of luck with whatever you chose to do, remember, it's a car, if you're not happy with the choice you make, you can always sell it and try another!!!

I call BS!
1 post?
If he had an NSX, don't you think he would have posted before, not just all of a sudden coming in here talking about how passionate the F-car boys are?
IMO, Moderators should lock this thread now, before it gets ugly in here.
BTW: For those in here that does not know what is going on, There is about 4 or 5 NASTY Threads going on right now in the Ferrari forum arguing the NSX and 348/355 qualities!

 

[Wheelman]

Well, I was referred to the NSX from a Ferrari owner- and that is the truth. He had a gorgeous Grey 355 Spyder. Do what you feel is right, I did and haven't regretted a moment of it...(Grinning ear to ear, baby!)

WOW! A bit too quick to judge, my friend.

Not everyone is computer literate, I for one, am not.
I do not frequent boards like this, someone just informed me that an NSX board existed and it is a knowledgable site.

Remember, Everybody has a 1st post.

Maybe I should keep things the way they were,
away from the internet.

Thanks guys

Well, I dont know about that...really also depends on where you live. In Vancouver, BC, EVERY nsx I came across, driving on the street, or parked, have given a friendly gesture or a thumbs up, as long as they see me in my nsx.

As many of you may know, there are also MANY ferraris in Vancouver. Brian Jessel Ferrari was named the #1 Ferrari Dealer of North America many times before it stopped selling them, or someone else bought out the dealership. Anyway, these ferrari drivers in our area are just not as friendly... cocky, spoiled kids who has wealthy father.:biggrin: too bad but that is the truth here. F360 F430s all around the town, unbelievable.

Troll........

If your serious, go to F chat.
They have about a dozen threads going on the subject.:biggrin:

 

[BioBanker]

Welcome again INDY!!!!

I see nothing wrong with selling an NSX for a 348. They look awesome. Sound incredible. There are many awesome things about them, most of all, those incredible automated seat belts! Now that is technology!

Indy? What am I missing here?

I noticed a few threads about the "attitude" on this other Ferrari site, but it appears the "attitude" is alive and well around here.

I have to visit this Ferrari site you guys mention to see this attitude with my own eyes. What is the address?

 

[Paul91]

The 355 is far superior to the 348. It's really out of it's league. I've driven both, and the 355 is such an improvement.

You are so kind to someone new to the board. What a Great welcome.

Remember this post GREGZ

In case you don't, it was your first post, you had one also (a first post that is)

"Just wanted to say Hello to everyone here on Prime. At the moment I do not have an NSX, but it has been on my mind for about a year now non-stop. I have a few different cars to keep me occupied but none of them can erase my obsession with owning an NSX. I live in a city of aprox. 70k people including the suburbs and I have never seen an NSX here. Congrats to all of you on your NSX ownerships and I hope to join you soon. Tic Tock, Tic Tock, Tic Tock........"

 

[ediddynsx]

Be nice guys......:biggrin:

 

[Wheelman]

Which NSX guys are you hanging out with? You can see the skepticism when you post something like this when very few people on here know you. Does that make sense. The NSX community is a very open friendly community that welcomes the same.
But when you come here, walking on a fine line "I don't get that with the NSX group" perhaps you should explain yourself or elaborate that statement since you are posting to the NSX group.

Mi amigo poquito! If you are going to be a troll - DO IT WITH SOME BALLS! This wishy-washy gibberish you've written only makes you look like a first class pussy.

This is what I would do:

1. Register with a really obnoxious username. Three48 is pretty good. But still smells of girly-man to me. I'd go with "NSuX" or "HondaHomoHater" or maybe something more straightforward like "F--k You from Italy" Be sure to fill out your profile in a real jackass way too.

2. Don't ask questions. Unless you want to be 2nd class, you have to TAKE CHARGE. You're a TROLL in CONTROL. So don't ask if you should sell your NSX for a Ferrari. TELL us you're going to do it, and exactly why. Use lots of exclaimations and CAPITAL LETTERS. The added emphasis really signifies a take-charge, leader type and we are sure to be impressed.

3. Cite various automotive performance stats. No troll can dominate a forum without the liberal application of myriad performance stats. Of COURSE everyone knows that the '91 NSX beat the 348 in all performance categories according to Motor Trend and Road & Track. But, did you know that a Tonka Big Wheels will hold a skidpad tighter than any NSX on a driveway (according to TrollStats.com)?

4. Offer the Rolodex. Of course R&T has tested both vehicles extensively, but YOU, have owned several of each. This requirement is really a defining element of a good troll; the amateurs will often mistakenly leave out their ownership history. How many NSXs have you owned and raced? 5? Wow... that experience sure makes you an authority on the subject.

5. Don't be a pussy. You're wasting people's time and insulting them -- why not do it like a rockstar!? Really rub 'em where it hurts! NSX snap ring tranny is a POS. No torque NSX 5 speed is taller than your sister's stripper boots. Really go for the gut.

Hope this helps. I give you a solid "B-" on your first effort. Study up, learn from the best (this guy Ski_Banker on Fchat really knows how to throw punches when he wants) and you too can be a winner! :biggrin:

Adios!

Elaborate? As I stated in my previous post, I do not frequent internet sites, I met a guy who invited me once on a drive. I have never felt Un-Welcomed before. There were apprx 6 NSX guys and a few Porsche and Ferrari guys, the NSX guys seemed to have a chip on their shoulder which the others did not. I found myself scratching my head.
Maybe I should stay home and not go these gatherings.
To be honest, I did have 2 minutes of fun.

Thanks to the NSX guys

 

[Wheelman]

Yes, elaborate or post a link to your previous post so others know what you are talking about. Just internet manners.

So you are going to sell your car on how some guys made you feel unwelcome on a drive? If I made choices based on that, I might end up being the Unibomber.

Thank God they caught my bro, Ted instead

OK (scratching head)

nice post, when is your 13th B-day?
I'll send you a gift. Maybe some brains, apparently you missed the hand out.

Maybe it is you that needs the Balls you are referring to.

What esactly is a "TROLL?"

You forgot the signature part...be sure to put no less than 1 million dollars worth of cars you own in your signature

 

[clr1024]

Man some of you guys are harsh, he posted nothing that was bashing the NSX only an observation of the interaction he had with a few NSX owners, it is a fact that not every car owner is welcoming and nice to other enthusiasts fora variety of reasons. Maybe he ran into some of these members. What if he really is an enthusiast you guys that are picking on him are proving to him that F-guys are nicer than the NSX guys. Why not wait to pass judgement when it is obvious that he is....or isnt a Troll.

Someone posted a thread that asked what the F is going on here...all the name calling etc, someone pointed to the changing demographic of the NSX owners this only adds to the list and I am pretty sure not everyone here is "wet behind their ears".

Point is back off a little until its obvious they/people are here to stir the pot, this car is better than an NSX because XYZ, to me right now it isn't obvious. Maybe he doesn't use computers all the time and is not online like many of us.

 

[rickysals]

Yikes, touchy board.

Welcome to Prime. Don't be fooled - this is a cool place. I don't own an NSX, never have, and I've survived. They're good guys!

There was a 348/NSX comparo that happened a couple weeks ago on Ferrarichat where some guys tried to compare eachother's "package size" by their big-talk on the internet. Mostly bullshit. Anywho - You're gonna hear that the NSX is superior here, and that the Ferrari is superior there.

If you don't mind repairs, the Ferrari might work for you. That's one of the biggest drawbacks. Many repairs at high costs per. The NSX isn't perfect but on average - much more reliable.

Ultimately - buy the car for you - not the "passion" someone else has for it. Someone else doesn't have to live with the payments, insurance & repairs.
