easy choice, NSX-R all the wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy
NSX is exotic sport car and the only one realiable exotic on the market today ( i know it's old but still good)
R34 is just R34, i mean it's a very nice car and all but still.

GT-R is a techno car, weighs more and more the newer you get. Many prefer the R32 as it is the lightest model. The R34 does look badass, weighs 3600lbs and more. NSX is light, aluminum, hand made, 3000lbs.
I'd get the GT-R, it has a ICON factor. Who has one? It is too rare here. The NSX is awesome too though.

man, it sounds like we all either passionately love the NSX or passionately love the GT-R. . . it's like a Toyota vs Honda debate. . . well Acura vs Nissan hehe. Hey Lexusracin, if you don't mind me asking, why are you getting rid of your 7 series? I'm not nit picking at you, I'm just curious for my own purposes. I remember that you were having issues with your LS and were saying the the 7 was unbeatable. You see I'm considering trading up/down from my 90 LS to a 01 IS. What made you stick with your LS over your 7?

I know what you mean by Lexuses being common, I'm not going to defend it, but they do sell well for a good reason. . . but anyway the BMW is a great ride too, no question. But what I'm wondering is why you aren't dumping the LS instead? Is it strictly a financial thing or. . . ? On the IS, the trade is for free. . . I'm running a few errands and favors. Let's just say if this happens I will never see my LS ever again :-( Don't ask. But I hear your POV loud and clear. Gonna get a good feel for what everyone at CL has to say. . . but back to your thread. . . you will be very very happy with either car. The NSX will attract attention like no other. And assuming you are a guy, you will be attracting a lot of females, hehehe I remember that you're pretty young too so it's a good thing(when is it ever not?). The Skyline often goes unrecognized by most common folk the same way an EVO, STI, or SRT-4 blends into traffic. They look like tacky ricer cars. Unless you are a gear head, you will scoff at these types of cars. Anyone who scoffs at a GT-R is a complete idiot btw, but people still scoff. I'm not ripping on the car, I love the GT-R's performance, but the R33/34's look like beat up Silvia/240SX's. The new Skyline, the one for which there is no GT-R, the G35 Coupe, is gorgeous. If the G35 coupe is an option I'd actually consider it too. . . or even the new 350 Z. If you truly love performance, and are a fan of the GT-R, go for it. But being exclusive isn't always good, as you could always get an AMC DeLorean and be super exclusive and exotic. The NSX is very good all around, and some will say the performance/perfomance potential exceeds that of the GT-R. . . but overall for getting rid of one of the cruisers and getting a sports car. Either car you dump and either car you buy, you're gonna be happier than you were originally.

Im sure many people here will scold at me, but the 7 is a really great car. It handles like a dream. And the thing I like about it most... you dont see them all that much. EVERYWHERE you look someone has a Lexus. I dont like how common Lexus is becoming. BMW still has rarity. And I like cars with rarity, hence wanting to get a Skyline or a NSX. I keep telling you you should get the IS. BUY IT ALREADY!!!!
