Never knew the NSX was considered in the same league as a Cerbie and Lotus V8....

The NSX is a car I might go for after the Cerb. Like the Cerb it is rare, I still think it's still a stunning looking car even though it was designed about 16 years ago. And after owning a Cerb it might be be nice to have a car that wont go wrong, and I can also use as an everyday car.

I nearly bought an NSX but ended up with the Cerb instead. I had about £20k to spend, and for that I could only get a very early '91 3.0 model. Didn't really like the idea of stumping up £20k for a 15 year old car.

The only cheap ones are autos (slow -- 0-60 in 7.5s) and T-bars. I think I might have one in the future -- would probably go for a 3.2 as they're apparently a lot more powerful than the 3.0, although still "officially" only 280 PS.

Apparently only the first 900 built had "handling by Senna". Senna's settings were thought to be too stiff for normal road use, customers complained, they softened it up, Senna was livid...

I was so tempted to get an NSX (the third car in the running was a Lotus Turbo Esprit). Plumped for the Cerb in the end, and i don't regret it
