NSX-R for sure!
All-aluminum construction, hand-built, mid-engined, N/A (Formula 1 inspired), use of exotic materials, and best of all lightweight! This car was made for performance! I have drove many cars, NSX included, and there is not a single car, aside from porsche, where the engine/gearbox combo was near perfect! It is everything you expect from a car with such a racing pedigree! The only car today that I can compare it to would be the Porsche GT-3/GT-3 RS and those cars are PERFECT as far as what a sports car is goes, although they would run circles around the NSX! My only complaint about the NSX is that the engineers didn't do much to it in the 15 years it was in production. Just imagine what was possible!
Read this and you too will be a believer!

ok, not gonna read the whole thing, but in short...
every car on there has its good and its bad...
I can think of a time where an NSX would be prime candidate, and others where EVO would rule... just like the 350Z and the 300ZX shouldn't be lumped into the same category, these guys aren't all in the same category and everyone will have different opinions...
personally, my choice is EVO - a good mix of everything, and can be taken off road too... there's not a car on there I wouldn't have a purpose for though...
