Searched a pair of '91 NSX on our shores both had 80K+ miles and were selling from $30 to $35K. Finding one with low miles at a decent price might take some work. The ones that caught my eye were highly modified, right hand drive and in europe. (Germany)

They're nicer than G's but not worth the price they command...for the price of an NSX you could get a much nicer and newer infiniti g37s and depending on the year NSX you're looking at, a GTR, Used GTR's are going for 60k nowadays.

Recalling an article where they needed to drop the engine to replace the clutch. Doesn't that sound like major fun?

+4. The G is already painful enough as it is.

If you're considering the NSX, get it. No need to compare. They're in two different classes. I wouldn't trade my G for the NSX but that's because I don't LIKE the NSX (although I do respect it for the awesome car it is).

When you're considering cars like that, conventional thinking shouldn't come into play. It's not worth the money it commands. It cost a shitton of money to fix. It's a pain in the *** to repair. None of that really matters if you want the car.

I read this about a week ago and kind of laughed that this is even a comparison and just yesterday I ran into one on the street and boy did it destroy me. Along with a Supra and GTR, NSX is just on a different level than our G's, just a fact. Get it if you have the money

The NSX felt like a stealth fighter driving that thing.

I sold the Acura when I moved up north and regret it! I love my G though.
hey how is the maintenance of the nsx? is it expensive?
