    NSX's are rather rare and they are meant to be driven too

    If you not good at turning wrenches, I wouldn't even ? wit them Porsches. you gone eat thru your 401K quikcer than a ? ..lol.. but if you good wit them tools, I would get the 928(Scarface) , they are more rare than thte 944 and harder to find. Then after while after you park the 928, gone cop that NSX. Start a fleet ? ...lol

    I do the majority of the work on my cars myself (except the ML). I used to build and tune Mustangs back inna day. I'm no stranger to a torque wrench.

    I pass by a mint condition gunmetal grey 928 every morning on my way to work. ? just looks beautiful sittin there.

    The 944 has to be a 944 Turbo S (DOHC engine vs the original 944 Turbo's SOHC engine) or better or it simply ain't worth it.

    Then there you go. Since you ain't scared to get your hands ? gone jump that 928 and slap some 18inch HRE's on that ? .

    the NSX's are not as rare but they are becoming like the Buick Grand National, parked and peeked at. the Porsche is meant to be driven.

    So if you plan on "Driving" then the 928 is your best bet in my opinion. and the ? ??....

    OLD LAWD THE ? !!..THEY GO CRAZY OVER THESE CARS MANE!!!!

    The key difference between the 928 and the 944 Turbo S is that there's typically decent 944 Turbos for sale, the 928's that always pop up are from the late 70's and early 80's and most have been trashed.

    I'm leaning that way. The Porsche is still heavy in my mind 'cause that's one of my high school favorites.

    I do need to replace the Mothership (the struggle van) before I cop a sports car tho. I want a 1st gen CLK or 1st gen C70 for a commuter car to replace it.

    Acura wasn't playing in the early 90s

    I think I'd buy an NSX or an Ac Legend 2-door coupe right now just for the hell of it

    SMH @ me riding in a 7-series admiring a damn Acura haha

    In my eyes, it's not even a question: Pop-up lights >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    That's one of the biggest reasons I prefer the C5 over the C6 Corvette.

    I feel the same way I remember seeing a black NSX with the yellow New York license plate that car is timeless it doesn't look too outdated compare to modern day cars today.

    the fixed lights make the NSX look awful tho. They royally ? up the look of the NSX with those lights.

    I've seen quite a few. Usually it's kind of a rare sighting, but the last couple of weeks has been crazy for 'em. Like all the owners decided to just drive 'em for a change.

    nah, the V12 is tight as long as it never overheated. BMW also had a 15 year warranty on those engines, so it's entirely conceivable that a '96 850CSi had its engine completely serviced only 2 years ago. With little driving, that could be a damned good car.

    @konceptjones
    Im also thinking about regular maintenance on those things. Not to mention they didnt put down much power with 12 cyclinders. Prob be better and cheaper to get the v8 and add some forced induction.
