NSX-R is awsome, but £150k would buy me a 430 Scuderia.

...and a massively bent key. Don't forget the key.
FLOL! Behave yourself. You naturally biased!
But a few of you are so JDM blinkered it's scary!
Agree with frenchie, and it's nowt to do with brand snobbery. The simple truth is, for 100k there is alot better cars across the board. Both on Looks, prestige, performance, drivability!
NSX, Failed supercar. Close the book!

The Nsx is awesome. If you can't see past the badge, that's your issue.
I take it that wasn't aimed at me? My most wanted car in the whole world is a Nissan GT-R

You drive a ford. I could never accuse you of badge snobbery.
De-badge FTW
Aye, i'll give you that!
Turbos.
Ultimately, there are people who want to be different, and there are people who wish to conform, and simply impress their peers. Whatever lofty ideals people have about their personaliies, there is a reason why there are bzillion Ferraris and mere hundreds of NSXs.
What is annoying about Ali's comments, is that you've clearly never looked into the motivation of wanting an NSX. You just look at the raw data. But that's not stopped you still coming up with the same comments, every time! lol...
I'm all for a debate on the NSX being crap, a waste of money or whatever, but you've never actually backed it up with anything more than substantial that "it's a Honda."
For some lucky people, money is just money. The guy is just testing the market tolerance for this NSX-R. Anyway, people spend huge money on classic cars, which handle like s**t. Fcuk me, they even have wheel arch gap FFS! Does it make them crazy? No, they have other reasons for loving the car.
I love Soichiro Honda's story. I love the commitment. I love that they built a factory to make one car. I love that it was built without compromise, and never made any money. I love that they didn't care, and blindly carried on making it for 15 years. For me, that is why you can't just compare an NSX on performance stats, as it represents more than just a car. And that's why it is an icon, and why an F430 - a great car, but essentially an automotive way of keeping with the jones' - will never be remembered in the same way.

All fair!
And in reality you share the same passion for the NSX as i do for the V6. So i shouldn't really gripe at any of the comments.
I don't think i've ever gel'd with the JDM scene or any scene come to think of it. In fairness to the NSX is does have a great story, it does come from racing pedigree & it clearly has a clique of followers that apprecate it for what it is.
Issue with this one in particular is that it will only ever be show car?! Realistically, it will never been used in the manner it was designed! Pity.
*Edit - NSX R looks stunning in that pic, i've said this before, HONDA's pioneered white!! (I'll have the Ferrari thanks!
)
The last bit has a little Clio V6 feel to it Rob. Even my car to a certain extent. We both love our cars for what they are. FFS the Jew won't even sell his but people could say it's just a clio.I'm all for a debate on the NSX being crap, a waste of money or whatever, but you've never actually backed it up with anything more than substantial that "it's a Honda."

It's a piece of motoring history to some extent so i'm surprised Ali doesn't see you point more.
The V6 was build with very little compromise I mean they put a Laguna engine in the back of a clio. That's mental to think of mass manufacturer doing that.

The last sentence is heroic... and exactly the reason why I love it.

Oh, and for those wondering, that's not the standard NSX-R steering wheel.
Did the original break from the awesomeness?
lol!
No i do totally see Fenn's point. I have been unfair over the HONDA NSX-Jazz...I take it back.
It's tough, because the Ferrari will draw all manner of folk, the passionate owners, the corporate rollers and celebs...So it's a car designed for the masses. However it still oooozes passion and excites me on a level no other car does. It's got Enzo's soul imprinted in it! The NSX is the only Honda that has "That passion" Right/wrong/Who cares?
Turbos.
Got buried with Senna.
BTW, i know a little about the F430
What could have been!
Looks like the steering wheel came off a s reg Accord :-( Id want a proper NSXR wheel on that asap.
Thing of beauty though, and looks quite delicate against the 430.

The F430 oozes lottery win, selling your council house and moving to Marbella with your orange, gaptoothed children.
I love Ferraris, don't get me wrong. But I'd rather have an F355... the connoisseurs choice of 'modern' Ferraris.
I'd take the NSX-R over either, but you know that already.

Think I'd go for a 360cs for a modern Ferrari.

F*ck, you've got me. Same here.
Odd how I always forget about the CS.
I dunno though, the F355 is better looking.

When will actually buy a Honda?
You're worse than Gally lol, & he eventually bought the arch-gap mobile that he warbled on about all the time

^ Agree with India. The F360cs is the ultimate modern day Ferrari for me. It's everything that defines Ferrari, Passion, Performance, Raw, "Prestige!!"
And yeh, a few of the Ferrari boys came on a Pistonheads run. They were being very...conservative put it that way! But hey, it's not all about raggin the c**t off the car!
