YO, did you ever get your Acura NSX?

[Laconian]

THANKS ALOT!! ... I forgot... it's on my list too... I just don't want that god d&$m ecotec motor... if I can still get the VTEC K motor, that might have creeped to the top of the list...

keep it up... you all are a great help

Oh my god, if you got this car half the forum would be knocking on your door for a ridealong.

Since it's a second car, I'd say go for it.

Although I enjoy the NSX, it's not the car for me. An acquaintance of mine has, or had (it's probably been reposessed by now), what I believe is a blue 2005. At 6'7, I was literally shoulder to shoulder with him as we were driving. Sadly, I'm not sure that I'll ever be able to own a true sports car due to my height.

I'll still smoke his ricer ass. (I cannot wait until my new coupe gets delivered)

What did you buy?

What did you buy?

Bound to be pretty intense if he thinks he could whip an Ariel Atom in a straight line.  M5 or M6 is my guess.

SL65? SL55? I have money on saying 6-series though...

[SJ_GTI]

My guess is a supercharged TRD Solara...the ultimate GT coupe.

Also,  Yo, a word of advice if you are going to get an Ariel Atom.  I know you expressed interest in the Honda powered variant (I'm somehow not surprised  ), but if you decide to go with the GM powered one, you might want to keep this in mind.

From Autoblog.com,

We know it's December and most thoughts of driving a car with no top or heater are the furthest thing from your mind, but if you were considering ordering an Ariel Atom in the spring, you'd better add it to your Christmas wish list in bold letters. As of December 29th, Brammo Motorsports, makers of the Atom, are upping the base price by around $4,500. They will honor 2006 pricing on all orders placed before the December 29th cutoff.

It seems that the GM-sourced Ecotec four-cylinder engine powering the Atom was promotionally priced to get them out into the marketplace. Effective January 1, the promotion ends and the substantial price increase will have to be passed on to the consumer.

Click here to go to the company's website to spec out your own Atom. If you get your order in for Christmas, before the price increase, the current waiting list dictates that your Ariel Atom should be ready for delivery just as the weather breaks and you can actually enjoy the driving attributes without the concern for frostbite.

I spec'd out a Honda motored one at just over 40 grand, as I recall.  It probably would make more sense to go for the weakest model, even used, since it's going to be ridiculously fun either way.  I wish they sold the Elise S here; I would love that car.
