Just joshing you Chuck - trying to follow the reasoning here - which is next to impossible. Oh and BTW - there are plenty of folks here that track there cars too.

third, the NSX has won numerous titles. it has beat both the ford mustang, and porsche in title events. i challenge all of you who knock the NSX to do some real research on the car and its history before you rag on it anymore. i think you all would be surprized at this cars history and how many races it has won.
fourth, saying this car is POS is almost like saying a porsche is a POS. a viper, ZO6 can whip both cars in the 1/4 mile. yet the NSX and porsche cost more. its a collectable car, its an investment. it may get outperformed by cheaper cars, but that doesnt make it a POS. the NSX was not designed to be a drag car. there are plenty of cars that cost more than a z06 or viper, and have less power, i dont see you guys ragging on those cars.
last, i wouldnt buy one for my kid. my kid's first car will be something very slow, like my car

As for the price. I paid $48K for a 23K mile 1996 pristine Targa car in 2002. Compare others, look at the depreciation opposed to the miles and age of the car. I could have bought a Vette or a Porsche, but you see those all day long and the depreciation sucks!
The X turns peoples heads. Especially going by them at 9K rpm's.

I thought the redline for the nsx is 8K - 7500 if you have the 3.0

How are your wilwoods holding up? I just got some wilwood rotors and now have heard that some of the track guys have had issues with them warping - I haven't had them on Sebring yes - but have run out of brakes there the past few times out.

I like the Wilwood design. Simple, yet effective. They are working out the issues. Wilwood listens to their customers and respond to their needs. Good people over there.
