He had gotten all A's so he wanted to take the NSX for spin with his best friend. His dad agreed as long as it was just around the block and back.
An hour passes and his dad is crapping his pants so he turns the news on. He sees an NSX crashed into a tree. Now he was the only one with an NSX in the neighborhood so he knew who was in it. Both the son and the friend died. Turns out the son decided to test the car's engine and handling. He went around a curvy, hilly road at 110+ MPH, hit a rock and went airborne. He landed in the tree.
I am sure you are going to say you are a "great" driver and "blah, blah, blah". Giving a kid a sports car is like giving him/her a loaded weapon. You know you are going to want to test the car out, floor it or what not. Be careful man is all i got to say.....

Whoa, didn't realize what had happened in this thread! It's HUGE!
OK, you're wrong. 
You can drift a BUS.
Horrible braking? Several mags rated the GS brakes as outstanding, best in class, etc.
Steering is overboosted in stock setup, but I like the L-Tuned ECU setup.
I'll agree on handling. Stock handling is too soft in my opinion, but let's face it, most GS300's are driven by women, and most GS400/430's are driven by men, and women want a soft, cushy ride. But for the 400/430 the stock handling is bordering on unsafe given all that power.
(That ought to stir it up for those testosterone-filled GS300 owners, hehe)

camren, im not hatin or anything... i love your lex, but are you gettin the nsx because you think the gs looks too clean and theres not much more to do with it?
The thing about the NSX and the tree, you have better chances living in a gs because it constructed of heavier materials, not to mention the cabin safety. when hitting the tree, the gs's front and rear bumper crumple at a controlled rate. the gs is a safer car than an nsx, so you would have better chances of living in the gs. but the nsx is a phat ride. good luck, and let us know when you get it.

who said im about to die???
lol.... more realistic... people dont go out and crash into Tree's in an NSX's and gs's every time they take it out for a spin.... you dont have to hit a tree... you can crash other ways too... NSX handling = good... i bet if a GS made a turn like that @ 110 mph it woulda fliped over... too much bodyroll .... then what??....
i never said im selling my car because its too clean... WTF.... thats a good thing... im selling cause i want a sports car....
