Scenario:
You don't have any sports cars. You have a Toyota camry for a daily driver. You can ONLY choose between a brand new Nissan GTR (R35) or a brand new 2005 NSX (US-spec targa).
If I don't have any sports cars, it would be hard for me to decide. Due to the fact tha NSX had been a dream car for me since 1991. I most likely take NSX in this case, but the GTR is definitely extremely hard to resist due to its overall package.
The final design of GTR/R35 actually looks surprisingly decent imho, very 599GTB like. I cruised with a black 599GTB the other day, my god, that car is so badass. I assume the stance on the GTR is probably similar to 599GTB as well.
Looks dont matter to me that's why I sold my NSX and bought a evo years ago. I want something fun to drive. If you want to look cool get a Ferrari not a NSX
I am in a very..... bad mood right now, just came across your post that triggered my nerve quite a bit. I might regret making long post like this after I wake up, but it is ok, I have to stay up all night tonight anyway and I will be too busy to come back anytime soon. I do want to make a statement clear, I have no bad intentions, just true honest personal opinion.
You got issues bro. If you enjoy it, that is all it matters, but wait, you made it sound like you think everyone should see eye to eye with you. NSX is not just a car to me, unfortunately you only see a small portion of what NSX has to offer. I made a lot of friends that are friends for life because of NSX and Supra connection, these are really special groups of people, when I am in need, they are always first to offer assistence. Lets put it this way, even if someone have issues with me about what I said, if I am in need. It is very likely that he will overlook our differences and offer a hand (I have no issue with anyone at the moment, so I assume no one have issues with me either:smile:, I am a human, I make mistakes and I will admit it), just because I am a nsx owner, I would do the same as well to best of my ability and time constraint. That is NSX community. I too have own NSX for 5 years BTW.
NSX doesn't look cool?
It looks really cool to me, better looking than a lot of Ferraries and almost all Porsches IMHO. Think about it and read your statements above, you will find contradiction in your own belief. Driving pleasure/performance/sound aside, in the look department, the only thing Ferrari have over NSX is the "badge". I thought you are not a badge/brand name person?
Just the other day I was hanging out with my NSX bro Rico (aka ultimate party friend, J/K Rico) at Vance's shop. A gentleman came up to us and started to bashing us on putting HONDA emblems on an Acura. The guy was so mad that he had red blood veins popping out in his eyes, he just wouldn't leave us alone. I just stayed quiet, because it wasn't even worth it. The guy didn't deserve my time. The sad part is that he also said Acura is made by Toyota, not Honda, hahaha
I had a NSX for 5 years. I guess the new group of NSX owners are looking to impress people with it. I can buy any car made, any car. I got a evo. Different strokes for differnt folks. Sure it's strange not to buy the most you can affored and 90% of the people do this. As I have posted before I go off-road in the evo, track it, push my trash can down the driveway and really it's one less thing I have to worry about.
You worry too much about other's buying decisions, people like this are usually not very fun to be around with.
Money is no object for you, so what, do people have to give a shit? Remember you only live once. You wasn't too trilled with your neighbor's F360or F430 purchase (sorry I forgot which car he got), if he is not in debt, IMHO he is putting his money to good use. Time flys, in a blink of an eye, 10 years go by just like that. As I get older, I find that money doesn't buy time or buy a lot of things I want, I can never be 20 again. I can stay fit rest of my life, but it is not the same. With your financial ability, I don't understand why you would take EVO over Ferrari. Even a Ferrari is pocket change for you. Maybe you don't find too much enjoyment out of cars?
90% of people buy max of what they can afford is very hard for me to believe. Is it your assumption? or there actually a study to back it up?. Remember it is a big world, you might be rich, someone is always richer. Money doesn't impress me. It doesn't buy style, taste, health, fitness, appreciation for things and most importantly respect for others.
How can look not be important? Do you find having sex with ugly chicks the same as having sex with hot lookng chicks. IMHO this logic apply to cars as well to a certain degree. Looking good is human nature. IMHO, a good sense of style can make anyone look good regardless what they look like or their body shape. It is not always dress to impress, even so there is nothing wrong with that. Dress to "feel" good is the most important IMHO.
May I ask why do you assuming people drive NSX to impress others? Isn't BMW and Mercedes impress more for the sake of trying to impress? I know for a fact "majority" of girls don't give a damn about NSX. They are easily impressed by cars with BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche emblems. I can tell you for a fact that most of NSX owners I know can afford to buy just about any BMW. Assuming people always spent max of what they can afford is ignorant. We didn't buy NSX to impress, it is more of driving pleasure and personal enjoyment.
When I buy a car, look is #1 priority. NSX looks like an art form, I do appreciate pretty things (Art, Car, Designs, Cloth, fine craftmanship, fine material, good food, etc). I like things that are pretty, pleasant to my eyes. Maybe you are just unique, or just don't care or give a shit. That is cool, if that is the case, you might want to consider keeping the negative personal opinions to yourself. There is a big difference between meaningful criticisms vs ones with no positive intent.
I don't need the attn I am smart, look good and funny and that seems to work fine
If you need a car to get laid you need to hit the gym.
I have no doubt that you are smart, but I am sorry, I have hard time believing that you are funny, no way in hell bro. My impression that you are extremely uptight and likely to always have negative opnion on something that is none of your business. I assume you are extremely fit with rock solid goods too show. Do you have a shirtless pic with your face showing to back it up? If you can post 1 up, I do the same with my lame pics.
I was really wishing the car looked better in person and that the lines made sense to the naked eye.
