Coming up this summer, im looking at getting another car. Ive decided on getting either a 91/92 NSX or 97 corvette vert.
Obviously the NSX is much rarer, but it is also almost 13 years old.
The vette is newer, faster, but much more common...
Im also going to be buying the car either from California or Texas, so does anyone know how much customs will charge or duties on a cars like these?
And I need opinions on which is the better choice!

I just take the S2000 :D

As for custom/duties, you should call customs, they actually tell you exactly how much you will be paying! Providing you give them the exact information of what you are planning to bring over. I like the timeless design of the NSX....:love:

I'd buy the NSX personally.

It's cheaper to repair the Vette since it's domestic and the parts are easier to track down since it's a newer vehicle however.

Vette - That old NSX is played out and everyone with a little bit of cash is going to start buying it since its becoming cheaper.

I'm going to re-phrase my answer.


NSX if you just want a pretty looking car or the Corvette if you want something you can really smoke the rubber in. Along with cheaper maintenance on the Vette I think it's a lot easier to throw mods onto the Chevy.

NSX is far more exotic..every rigpig in the world has a vetter...how can you compare to the NSX's all aluminum body, mid engine layout and it's smooth and flawless power distribution...plus it still makes every other car on the road look like ass

it may look nice but imagine if you bought the NSX and lined up at a light against a Vette and got schooled....wouldn't you reconsider your choice?

Wow the mustang is slow hey? The S2000 has a 2.0 liter engine. That's 120hp per Litre of displacement since the car is 240hp. If the S2000 was a 5.0L it would in theory be 600hp. Since the fastest stock mustang (Ford, not Saleen or anything), the 89 GT doesn't even come close to that number maybe you should reconsider your argument.

The NSX is a fairly quick car. I raced one down elbow, and kicked my ass off the line, but by the top of second i had him by a couple car lengths... Must be light, becuase i know they dont make alot of power. I would pick the NSX over the s2000.... The NSX very nice to look at.

I'd take the NSX obviously. I am just trying to make a point. The S2000 used to have the highest HP per litre. It is a marvel of compression, who would ever dreamed we'd get 240hp out of a 4 cylinder engine? If you have a 3.2 in there, you'd a have a 384hp roadster. I'd have to say the s2k lacks torque but if you supercharged it, you could fly.

If price wasn't an issue, of course I go for the NSX! But realistically, NSX is out of my league......

Anyway, I think Honda is making a V8 NSX pushing 400hp!:love: :eek:

Holy shit that was alot of replies in 30 mins....
What you guys said is exactly my dilemna:
The NSX has the looks and is EXOTIC! Its also rare, but slower compared to the vette.
The vette is newer, cheaper to maintain, and much faster..
I'll have a chance to drive both this summer, so i guess thats when my final decision will be made.

Dont give me the "its a way smaller engine so its impressive":rolleyes: Would a 15000rpm 1 litre lawnmover engine that put out 120 hp impress you? Power is power, whatever way you go about it. BTW, (around) 120tq(boo) and 190whp on a md250 dyno makes the s2000.... At around 8500rpm???? You could make a pot of coffee while waiting for that engine to make some power. You bring the biscuits.
A 15000 rpm 90 cid f1 engine that makes 1300-1400 hp is impressive.
If you think my car is slow, bring what you have and prove your point.

Attempt #2:

Yes a Mustang could beat an s2000, I never said it couldn't.
The s2000 is not a comparable car to a mustang because of the displacement difference. That would be like me saying a Diablo would beat a Mustang, uncomparable cars again. I was saying for what the S2000 puts out for what it has, it's amazing. What's the displacement on a cid f1 engine? Again I must remind you I dont think your car is slow. Your car is fast, since it runs 12 seconds. I am talking about an s2000 and how it puts out more power per litre than a mustang. That doesn't mean your car is slower.

How tall are you?? If you're tall, the NSX is going to be horribly uncomfortable to sit in. I'm 5'9" and the bottom area underneath the steering wheel was right against my shins which, after a long drive, can start to get really sore. Also, IMO, the pedals are muchs too close together which can get really annoying.

I've never driven a 'vette before, but with my experience in the NSX, the comfort level of the drive wasn't too great. Nice car, nonetheless though...

Ben
02-15-2003, 05:56 PM
Each car has its High points and low points.

I love the Efficiency of the S2k (120hp per liter stock is pretty not bad), and handling characteristics, but I dont like the idea that you have to drive it like you stole it to get some umpff out of it. I'm also not 100% sold on the styling. gets a 7.5 or 8 out of 10 from me styling wise.

In the flipside, I love the torque and power of the 302, but hate the styling, handling and fuel economy of the stang.

Its a buy to taste senario.

Re read my post. 1400hp from 90 cubic inches. Taken from the specs in '87.

My point is, while the hp per liter is impressive, it would be boring to drive. And why is the s2000 vs a stang not a good comparison? Im sure the honda is lighter, and the power levels are very similar. How about price? Would you not buy a "sports car" for the fun factor? 48,600 BASE for that? Gimme an '03 cobra for the same price.
And quit with the " imports handle better " BS. Such an unbased generalization. It depends on what you are comparing.
And styling is, of course, in the eye of the beholder.
did you bring the biscuits?

Buy the vette :nut:

I'd take a new S2000 over a 13 year old NSX.
If it was NSX vs Vette, I'd pick the NSX.

About the S2000 being slower than Mustangs, give me a break. It was designed for the track, who cares that the Mustang is faster in the 1/4 give a road course the Mustang would be schooled.
BTW 0-60 in 5.9 and 1/4 in 13.9 sec at sea level is nothing to sneeze at.

Compare the s2000 and the '03. Once again, skidpad results are very dependant on tires, but as they are from the factory, current mustangs or cobras will spank an s2000 in the 1/4 and in the turns.

Regular Mustangs don't think so.. The only trim of Mustang that would take the S2000 all around is the SVT Cobra. However, compare apples to apples and give the S2000 a S/C as well and then that would be more interesting between the Cobra and a Vortech S2000.

corvette has fiberglass body (mebbe not as hi-tech as aluminum), smooth power im sure as well (v8 = beig fat torque band), and the C5 is pretty good looking IMO, in a totally economical choice, 'vette, but theres something about the NSX, maybe a little underdog appreciation value

Vette.

1. I think the Corvette's looks are much more timeless than the NSX.

2. The NSX doesn't deliver the best performance for it's price range.

3. Due to the world-wide reputation it has, the Vette turns a lot more heads than a NSX. Especially when you consider the ZO6.

Glowrider
02-15-2003, 08:07 PM
Not to meniton tunability. You're going to get ALOT more power out of that 5.7 L V8, than you are the wimpy little V6 in the NSX.

That power will come out of the LS1 a lot easier, too.

not to mention the heritage that Corvette's have. I think the NSX is a beautiful car but it was overpriced from the getgo. I've jumped in this thread a lot of times but everyone's making the same points.

NSX if you want a pretty car
Corvette if you want something with balls.

Why, because the Corvette doesn't have VTEC? Please...pound for pound the Corvette destroys the NSX in performance value. The potential of the Corvette and it's 5.7 L LS1 V8 is endless.

But the NSX does hold a world record...

For 35k you could still get a lot better.

If you're a real import enthusiast looking for a car, chances are you would get an FD and modify it to run high 10's.

If you're just looking for something to play with, you could get a Supra.

If you're big on rally, you would probably get an STi.

I know the LPE Twin Turbo C5 is the top of the top, but I just did it to illustrate a point. The Corvette has mass potential, even though a lot of import guys hate on the car, it's unjustified. It is a fast car, and a great value if you are looking for a combination of performance and looks.

IMO Vette. The Corvette is the better value, but if money isnt a big consern then go for the NSX. They are both great cars. In styling, engineering, reputation, etc. BUT, you really shouldnt let us make the decision for you, do what YOU want. Dont bother with what other folks think is cool, just what you think is cool. Your never gonna please everyone anyways...

The 91's do not have V-TEC (no they don't have vtech either...vtech makes phones and microwaves). Quicker top end because it has more valves? Uh...buddy, number of valves doesn't mean shit in this case. The LS1 makes more power all around than the NSX' wimpy V6.

What "technology" are you speaking of, when you say the NSX has more?

If you get the vette make sure to get a red one, slick your hair and get some gold chains you fugin pimp wannabes...if it was a newer vette I would agree with getting the vette...but the old ones are for 50 year old guys trying to re-live the 80's...let it go, they are not coming back.

All of the NSX's have VTEC.

I was at ZR Auto last month and saw an earlier NSX for sale. It had the older 5 spoke wheels and was really starting to look old.

I used to not care for the Vette's but they are finally starting to grow on me. I'd kill for a Z06.

He's talking about getting a C5..which is the most recent body design. So it is a "newer vette" pal.

Glowrider, the nsx was always vtec from the start:

And loose, ya man..the z06's are the shit. I love those cars. I just wish the c5's all had nicer interiors...they look so grand-am ish.

Do your research before making stupid ass coments.

It's good you're not my pal. Don't like to really associate with closed minded and ignorant "imports rule the world" jackasses, PAL.

Ha ha ha.

This is too funny, Pal.

Anyway, skill testing question:

The NSX hasn't significantly changed since 1991! Name a car that hasn't had a substantial redesign since the before 91.

the fds3s was very similar from its release in late 91 to its last model in 2002.
The only changes were minor tailight and front nose treatments, different wheel options, wings, and some minor changes in the turbos's

FD in late 91?

Could you buy them then, and were they called 93's?

My point is: NSX = Relic

Mind you the NSX-R took Evo Car of the Year in 2002.

The FD was released in late 91 in Japan. My bad, i should have mentioned that. Also, as im sure you know, the stop date was also only so far along in Japan.

I don't think the nsx is that much of a relic. I think its still a cool car with relevant technology and its very good looking. But as soon as i think about the price...all those good points go down the shitter.

Calm down, killer. We're all friends here. No need to hate on someone, especially when you're a n00b.
