I know I will catch some heat for saying this but.... not all NSX's are the same, and in threads like this everyone says "would you trade an NSX for".... well some NSX's are $25K cars, and some are $80K cars. They are not the same car. They don't sell for the same price for a reason. I understand they share a lot of parts, but newer is newer. An NSX that is 20 years old is not the same as one that is 8 years old. One that has had 4 owners and 110K miles is not the same as one that has had one owner and 9K miles. Even something like a rare color can change the feeling of ownership of a car. Synth says he would not even trade his NA for a GTR. Well.... look at his car.... it's not exactly the same as a beat up 91 that just sold for 20K. His ownership experience, is ENTIRELY different.
I am just saying if we are going to compare cars, lets compare exact cars. Even on the other side, a low milage 2013 GTR is a decent amount different than a beat-on 2009 one with a slipping trans.
Seems like the threads start to boil down to "NSX versus the GTR", both are Japanese supercars, one has models that are 22 years old now.
If I had an older, less tight feeling, bit more worn out NSX, I would probably be MORE likely to make a switch than if I had Synth's car or 3.5LNSXR's car. There are some fairly significant differences between NSX's. Question then may become.... if you already have had the NSX experience, even if it is an older higher milage car, would you want to upgrade to a newer NSX like an NA2 02+, or would you want a GTR? I think that is a legit question. I'd probably go for the GTR, being I already had a close enough NSX experience. But I wouldn't trade mine for one, knowing if I just sell a few of my mods, I would need zero cash outlay to move into a brand new one.
HondaDreams, I think you have to spend some real time in a GTR, and do some soul searching to find out what the best answer is for you. It's different for every single person. If I change, it'll be be for the new NSX. A new GTR is not an improvement of experience compared to my car as it sits now. And I don't need to buy a new NSX when the hype is at it's peak. I can wait. Nissan, Audi, and Porsche won't all sit around and wait for the NSX to take their glory either. At least be happy with this... your car is depreciating very little while you sit and watch what happens in the market.
