    Very jealous of your NSX.. Every time I see one in person it puts a smile on my face and I practically break my neck trying to stare.. My wife doesn't understand me...

    Had an AP1 for 10 years. Not all that fast, but get it up to speed on track and it was a riot at the limit of adhesion. Such delicate balance.

    Love that hardtop, I would love to have one of those but the value.. hard to justify 20+ for a low mileage 10 year old car..

    On the other hand I don’t think 15 is too much for a triple locked fzj lol

    LS1 swap with nitros.
    Would love to buy a 1st gen NSX... and would part with my S for it. But they jumped way too far up in price and just cannot justify having 50-70k sit in the garage.

    Not as small as an EF! Only reason this looks as big as it does vs the truck is the forced perspective.

    I think we have the idea of how small it is mixed up with how low it is. I don't think many of the cars people are saying are smaller on this thread are lower. It is tough to appreciate how low a NSX is until you have owned one and parked it next to your other cars. My '92 was a hair over 45.75 inches OEM. It still throws me off when I see a '90's era one and I drove one for years. Seeing a S2000, Civic, etc. does not do the NSX justice to its stupidly low stock height.

    Not trying to put down anyone's car by the way. They are all great cars. I just have a slight personal affection for the form of the NSX.

    all tore up already
    NSX is low but I'm not sure I'd call it a small car. See an Isetta every year at the local bmw car show, I'm not freakishly tall person and I can easily touch both bumpers. my friend in sc has an autozam az-1 that makes fiats look like bloated suvs

    **not his pic just off Google to reference**

    Last summer I saw an Ariel atom on the highway and literally thought it was a wing'd shifter cart.

    Do love the nsx though, very "livable" exotic car. Ergonomics closer to an accord than anything that looks like it and reliability is similar. Miss working at Acura, had a couple customers who really used their cars

    If that looks like a toy next to your truck try those smart cars...their category is “micro cars” no joke.

    Do your homework. My Toyota-mechanic buddy refers to those cars as "fucking shit" when he wants to compliment them. (I know nothing else about them.)

    I have been. That's surprising. Everything I've read so far is people being happy with them. At least with the subi's... I've been ignoring the scions and the 86s are still pretty new

    New as in New Toyota model to have much feedback on quality/durability.. it's the same thing as the Scion/brz just Toyota skinned

    Mechanically the same, right? What makes the Subaru better?
