Title: Ha ha- MT asks really stupid question
Post by: 12,000 RPM on March 15, 2016, 10:44:29 AM
New NSX or used 458?

http://www.motortrend.com/news/new-acura-nsx-or-used-ferrari-458/ (http://www.motortrend.com/news/new-acura-nsx-or-used-ferrari-458/)

Here's how the chief engineer justifies an NSX purchase over its competition:

QuoteI would say, look at yourself in the mirror and ask yourself, 'What do you want from your special car purchase?' If you're buying the car to brag, if you're buying the car to multiply your personhood, then, you know, go big. But if you're confident in who you are and if you if really want to use this product, to experience life in new and enriching ways—the bandwidth on an NSX, the wide range of special experiences you can have, it is amazing.

:wtf:

I would buy a 348 over a new NSX.... 458 lol nooooooooooo cooooooooooonnnntesssst though a 6MT F430 would probably my pick of the breed. I think the only supercar I would not buy over the NSX is the GT-R.... since the NSX is basically a mid engine GT-R.

If I were buying a used Ferrari, a 348 would be near the bottom of the list.  You know it was junk when even the big wigs at Ferrari have gone on the record as saying it wasn't very good.

355, still the sexiest. Makes a 430 look like some committee designed it on a lunch break.

I'd take an Oculus Rift, the upcoming VR Forza game, and my couch. Driving involvement will be the same, and I can choose from 1000 other cars.

New NSX for sure. Reliability is underrated.

Need the cash for sick mods so it's faster than the NSX. $2000 should be enough. Tune + NOS.
