Cheap NSX!!!

I've not either! Still fancy a purple-T F-matic for lazy days though!

There's also a very nicely restored green (Andy@VTECDirect is selling it) for £23K on CB if you're interested.

Do check there before buying; these are old cars and some have a bit of history.

Just for the fact that I own an NSX and let's be honest, probably the quickest car I will ever own, manual or auto

Your S2000 is quicker then the auto NSX, so youre already driving a quicker car.

Nitin,

You really need to drive both before making that sort of statement! The S2000 feels faster (like a skateboard) but the figures give lie to it; an NSX much easier hauls ass at speeds (straight & corner) where an S2000 brick walls. Especially with the roof down.

The on paper figures for a 3.2 aren't really that much different either, but it's usefully faster (too fast!) everywhere. At 150, in the S2000 it feels like the end of the world. In an NSX, it's a comfortable cruise whilst lying in bed by comparison. It's a different sort of fast, if you like.

The cars are so different you really need both...

What he said.

Top speed on NSX would be quicker than the S2000. Around 160+ I think on the NSX and 150mph on the S2000

EDIT;

You also need a good Prelude, still. That's another type of fast altogether...

Is the S2000 faster then an auto NSX? Lets say 0-60!? Yes or no?

I'm not talking about top speed as 70 is the fastest you can go on UK roads. Unless you have a gf in autobahn that you visit quite often.

Numbers only tell half the story. Pretty sure a Porsche Cayanne/Q7 thing would be faster than my Lude, but absolutely no fun in the process

I wasn't talking about 0-60 Nitin. I was talking about the faster car which for me represents top speed. The NSX is slower at accelerating yes to answer your question.

Lub you x

So to some it up... I wouldn't buy an auto NSX. Even though I love NSX and would seriously consider buying one when I'm retired.
