Texas, and the cheapest, oldest, most beatup NSX I ever saw just a few years ago for sale had a $64k pricetag on it. We're talking EARLY 90s with torn up interior and some body damage. However a quick Autotrader search within 200mi of me net like 5 mid90s for 25-45k.

Granted I have nothing really against them, but I think they are overpriced. Still a mid-90s NSX would be hard pressed to be ahead of my Z in a drag race.

The mods are irrelevant, MY car did 13.9@101 stock with Eagle F1s on the rear. Other Z's have gone as low as 13.79 but it varies too much on driver, conditions and elevation.

Dave - after it was all said and done my avg trap was around 110.

So ghey that most automakers still have not even reached the 500+hp level. Hell, your techinical marvel NSX never even equaled the corvette in power. 100K+ new for 315hp? that shit is weak.

If I remember correctly Lotus only designed the heads. Everything else was Mercury Marine.
