I've had a 95 NSX-T, a 99 911 Cab, an 01 911 Coupe, and now an 01 TT. I would take the NSX all day over the regular old 996s, but the TT over the NSX by a hair.

The NSX is the only car I wish I would have never sold. Man, mine was so pretty, too......

I was just reading an old issue of EVO, where the latest, greatest NSX beat out the 996 C4S by a hair for Car of the Year.

Yeah, and where is it now.

The NSX is an asterisk, a mere footnote in the history of sports cars.

I knew a proctologist who had one, he called it an NASSX.

Ed, imagine this......... your 996 "went away" and you replaced it with a Honda!

Now you know how I feel!

Does that make yo feel better? It should, because you still have a P-car!

NSXs will be on the road forever - the maintenance is akin to a regular old Honda. Plus, the footnote in history will be that the Japanese forced the European sports car makers to actually build cars that worked and didn't constantly break down every 3rd mile.

Take a look at NSX prices versus 996 prices - no contest as far as holding value.

I'm a 996 owner but still love the NSX.
