Why are NSX's so expensive? - Page 2 - United Bimmer Community

So what's the cost/specs on the "R" version?

**donald1476** · 08-16-2005, 01:28 AM

I think it falls into the category, but its on the very low end.

**tun6twista** · 08-16-2005, 01:31 AM

So a low end super car, haha.. cool kind of like the low end german cars by the manufacturer of VW bahaha jk

That one is selling for over 450k! I did read that the NSX-R goes 0-100km/h in about 4.1 sec, revs to 8000rpms and is still only 280hp.

They look sick, but I look at that car and to me it's nothing more then a cheaper made Ferrari. I guess I just don't get it. If you're a Japanese car lover, I guess this is as good as it gets for you then.

I personally don't like japanese cars, but they are good at what they are meant for.. commuting on the highway. But that's not what I do, so fuck 'em. I'm just saying i don't think they are THAT overpriced, especially from all the reviews I have read. Not my bag of chips though.

Are you so blinded by your polished roundel that you can't see perfect balance in the MR configuration, a NASTY top end powerband, and stunning looks?

Please.

As for comparing a S/C'd M to the NSX, lets try comparing apples to apples, though that might be a stretch for at least ONE of you. S/C the NSX and see a true dragging.

I feel theyre a little over priced too, but i have never driven one so i dont know.. horsepower isnt everything, 0-60 in 4 seconds w/ 290 horses is a pretty good accomplisment in my book.

And they look great in real life, good build quality too, ive sat in one :P.

A "little overpriced" doesn't close an aforementioned 35k dollar gap in perceived value.

**Linds** · 08-16-2005, 05:09 PM

An NSX would be an awesome car to own for auto-x ing or just driving on weekends.

**donald1476** · 08-16-2005, 06:13 PM

^ I would take it to the track, not some parking lot with cones...

**Linds** · 08-16-2005, 10:23 PM

well I wouldn't want to track it until I attended a driving school or something, i've personally never driven on a track.

**donald1476** · 08-16-2005, 11:07 PM

Well I would't invest the money in that unless I was affiliated with track driving.

The last drivers school I did my instructer had an nsx and I was going to ride with him in it until he broke the front lip on some of the curbing and then retired it for the weekend. But it looked sweet and would be great for the track and other driving fun.
