No they're not
Styling is subjective.

no of course i don't own one (and neither does the majority of the population) but you're hyperbolic statement of 'worst car *ever* made' is clearly ludicrous.

Not true. First 280 HP mid engine aluminum body sports car from Japan. Very good car. The only fault is, the engine never got a overhaul for it's 12 year production run.
Toyota had Supra
Honda had no sports car worthy of mentioning
Mazda had the RX7 FD3S
Nissan had the 300ZX
Subaru had nothing
Lexus had nothing
Infiniti possibly never existed at that time
Acura has what? NSX!! Blow them all out of the water. Only thing might match this is the Skyline GTR32. Not sold here though. Also EVO4 and STi, no sold here either.
Not sure why OP is talking smack about it.

OP is prepping a Dodge video for his next thread ban. :)
This is just the gravy.
The NSX is a pretty special car and I'd own one if I could find a mint example. You do realize cars are not merely a collection of their parts right?

Actually, my shop just dropped a 2.1L Kenne Bell Supercharger into a 90's black NSX ( below ) for a customer...see ' Project NSX ' on their Facebook page.......

S2000 was not produced until almost at the end of the 90s. The formers were all early 90s cars.
Yes Yes, you guys don't need to point out that Acura is Honda. I am just pointing out that Honda didn't have an identify crisis to see if they going to put NSX under which brand name in North America. Obviously not so car knowledge rich guys would want to pay 100k for an Acura instead of paying for a Honda. To me Honda/Acura is same, not to the some rich people. Nissan had the same problem, what to do with the R35. Finally they named it under Nissan instead of Infiniti. You guys all should point that out to your friends who buys Lexus, it's just a Toyota!
Yes, thanks for the correction on the 270HP. It's still a damn good engine back in the day. 6 cylinder 270HP engine.

You own a shop that modify cars? Ah, didn't think about that when see you posting on the forum.

But it's still a very nice even now!

Isn't the op just trolling? He's mad with the mod NSX because NSX keeps locking his threads. I guess he assumes NSX either owns or likes that particular car

It was an overall terrible car which is why you see so few of them. Grossly overpriced, ugly, and slow as hell. Get a Corvette instead - it's superior in every way and cheaper.

Don't be ignorant (or could I be feeding the trolls?)
The NSX is not what I'd consider slow on the track. I happen to like the way it looks.

NSX is still my favorite car to date.
If the successor to the NSX is just as good, my Audi is gone and I'll hesitantly be owning a Japanese car again.
I wouldn't think twice about owning the last NSX. If I had more garage space, it would be my daily driver.

NSX was a great car and till this day it creates new fans. however it was a car that was great for its time but for 12 years it was practically unchanged.
Competition had caught up and surpassed it.
I say the Honda s2000 should be in the same category as these other cars. It was a car made in the 2000's that had started development since 1995.
I say it is also a "new" classic.
