370z or nsx

Jordo! · 10-25-2013, 03:42 PM

I believe somebody else on here is a former NSX owner who switched to the Z. Try searching for it and maybe shoot him a PM. That person should have some valuable insights into having to make this decision.

hummm... i donno.. everyone's different.

some folks here have sold their G35C's to get the 370Z. i cant see myself doing that cause my G and Z are so different. thats why i recommend keeping both if possible...

i think the best route would be to swap the GTI for the Z in khoala's case.

Beautiful nsx sir. I highly recommend you keep it.

cossie1600 · 10-26-2013, 01:23 PM

I agree, sell the vw. You can always get another one. Z is a little harder

But I agree they are different. My Z always stall if I don't pay attention my G never.

Seriously, I would keep both if possible. Cuz both cars are so classic!

I'm gonna be the guy on the other team and say sell the nsx and get a new vette or cayman?? Sure the nsx israre, nice looking but really nothing to be consider great compared to.modern cars. I like my nismo but if I had to decide between my car vs a nsx is the same condition stock for stock. I would eadily pick the nismo. Perhaps its because it is my DD. cost upkeep is big. I also dont belueve in buying a exspensive toy and hardly ever playing with it.

I'm bias though I have never driven a nsx so I really don't know what it truly is all about.

I'm not sure about the US market, but mint condition, factory paint NSX-R in Japan cost 3 times more than the GTR.
NSX has possibility to be a future classic. Especially the NA2 R.

The NSX was a wonderful car in it's day and still does well but the 370Z is faster.

In 1995 I had a 300ZXtt and these cars seemed equal to me in the real world. I raced against one for years and was happy with the old Z. The new Z is faster still. The NSX fellow raced once and hung up his car keys.

1995 MSRP on NSX was $90K vs Z at $45K.

Supergoji · 10-28-2013, 08:59 PM

why dont you throw some cash at the NSX, like a comptech supercharger or a science of speed one, upgrade the brakes and suspension. you wont wanna get rid of it.

I agree with this. Don't sell your NSX, it is one of the best cars ever built imo. Save the miles and paint on the NSX and daily drive the Z.

And just in case, DONT sell the NSX man.

Don't sell it.

Don't.

For real don't.

Good car; NSX........Don't.

alcheng · 10-28-2013, 10:16 PM

keep it bone stock but make sure keep the NSX in very very good condition.

A bone stock mint condition classis is always much much more beautiful than a heavily modded.

it's not the matter of it is faster than which car, since you don't need to smoke every single car on the street to be the eyes-catcher.

like my previous posts... you are keeping it for its whole package...

It is a NSX.... it is always the classic piece.

Don't test drive a NSX, you will trade your Nismo in a heartbeat

3) The design and material being used on the chassis. Its chassis is aluminum monocoque, forged aluminum suspension. Plus the aluminum body.

4) The layout, mid-engine-rearwheel-drive, that means the most balanced and ideal layout for sports car, and the most to have fun with. And it is very difficult to find a modern sports car with this MR layout besides Ferrari and Lamborghini.

5) Value, its value is always there.

Did I miss anything..??
