What is it exactly that the NSX gives you that you can't get for $100K plus?
one of the most mechanically balanced cars out there? it's one of those cars that you have to drive and experience in order to actually understand, just like the lfa (which is 400k).

Just like Porsches, I never cared about any of them til I drove the 2000+ models.
I always thought I wanted a NSX until I got a ride in a 2002 NSX (didn't actually drive any)
With the engine right behind me it sounded just like my mom's accord so it was off my list.
As for Porsches, drive it, if you love it, buy one, if you don't it's not for you.

yup, i agree it's not for everyone, but without driving it it's hard for anyone to really "say", because the car is so different

With an NSX, its almost a must to have an aftermarket exhaust. The sound is just intoxicating.

I think you just made my point. The NSX gives you something similar that you'd get in a car that cost $100K plus. That is exactly what I was saying when I said there isn't much of anything out there that will give you the same driving dynamics that the NSX gives you UNLESS you spend north/over $100K. I didn't say nothing is faster as there are a lot of cars faster, but few have its driving dynamics. If Gordon Murray can use the NSX as a target when he built the McLaren F1 Street car then I think the NSX has a little something desirable when it comes to its drive.

I'd probably take the 348 for the wow factor, though the NSX has the best reliability
