Well I was thinking of getting rid of the z. I found a nsx that I really wanted and had a buyer for my z. I thought about it and even considerd keeping both. Financially speaking that was not a good idea. The nsx was a 94, bodykit, and a few other upgrades. It was a good price but I just couldn't pull the trigger. I was afraid I would regret the move later. Loved the nsx, really quick and responsive, the only thing was that out-dated interior. Without being biased, what would you have done?

 

nsx

 

i would keep the z, nsx are overrated IMO they look cool as hell and dont get me wrong they are fast but still, i have a hard time buying used cars..... even more when its a sport car..


just my 2

 

in my opinion you made the right choice...

 

keep the z. used car has a lot of problems
new cars are always the best

 

late model Z vs. 12-yr. old NSX? gotta go with the Z there. good call.

 

yeah i agree, my dad hates old cars. When they break down they are a waste of time and money.

 

hehe, sounds like a situation I was in not too long ago. I went with the Viper though .

Nsx was just one of those cars that I always wanted but I did have a hard time paying more for a car that was 10 years older.

 

I've had multiple track days with my Z and other NSXs for direct comparison. and even had the chance to test a race-prepped one. Nice car, but IMHO not as good a package as the Z. The mid engine layout means the car is inherently 'twitchy' at the limit. The rear could come around quickly, whereas the Z provides most of it's feedback through the front end understeering.

The NSX is a great semi-exotic, but you did the right thing in keeping the Z!

 

NSX!!....i would do a straight trade....but i wouldnt pay extra on top.....

 

imo, if you know someone who's knowledgeable w/NSX (engine, suspension, etc.) i would've said to get it.
the interior can be redesigned somewhat, racing seats, badass system, etc.
NSX is aint no Ferrari, but it's still a classic sports car that is somewhat underappreciated in the sports car genre. IMO.

 

nsx would only be good as a 2nd car. why would you trade a good, dependable daily driver for a 12 year old, weathered, car with a ton of mileage?

 

Would have kept hte Z and bought the NSX. Always loved NSX and RX-7s.. If I didn't have the budget for both, I would keep my Z. I would never trade in a dependable new car for someone's used car.

 

thanks for the feedback. I love my z but I still want the nsx. It would be a great 2nd car just to take out once in a while. Maybe I will change my mind and get both.

 

I saw one at 2nd Creek before it shut down and I was disappointed in it performance.

 

give the acura dealer a call and get some prices on maintenance and oil changes... i think you will be happy with the car thats 10 years newer.

 

I almost traded mine for a e46 m3 but i'm real glad i didn't. The z looks hot and i will make it faster eventually hehe. Btw good move, its a 12 year old car.

 

I would only buy/trade NSX, if its a 2nd car. I wouldn't even considering trading the Z for an NSX, that mid-rear car has tire feathering also. My old car, a MR2 had problems of rear tires wearing abnormally and NSX had that similar problems, but it wasn't made a big deal out of it. And the interior noise will drive you crazy after owning for years. Keep the Z!!

 

I sell acuras. we have one. a 04 5,000 miles maybe. 69 grand. awesome car. some say never buy used but its and acura, cant go wrong. I love my Z but if I could afford the nsx i would defenitly buy it. if anyones interested in the nsx let me know. hell of a deal stickers for 89,000. little plug there.lol. and yes i sell hondas and acuras but drive a Z
