General Comments

I've got a 1996 Nsx Tagra in yellow. This car will get you the most looks as there are hardly any around.
This car is an everyday super car and for half the price for a smiliar Ferrari it's good.
It's a fast car but don't expect it to be beating everything on the road.
It can do top speeds of 180mph easily but I found it doesn't seem to be built to do these speeds and doesn't seem safe at all mainly because of the age of the car.
Cheap car to service but major parts can be costly so make sure to look for service history and when looking to buy one definitly get a HPI a I would stay away from any with accidents as these can be a cover for cars being stolen.
Also be careful in the rain as rain and the NSX doesn't go well.
Would recommend it just because of the looks and the amount of them on the road which is very few.
Took me about two years to find but I'm very happy with it.

    You mention age? what's age got to do with safety? I own a 1991 Nissan 300ZX twin turbo and it's in great condition. A totally safe car to drive! Any car after 1980 is safe providing it has been maintained to a decent level. In fact some cars of today have been questioned on safety like the Mercedes A class and Hyundai coupe. So, my freind, age has nothing to do with safety!!!

    Well it does with sports cars. I have a M3 2004 which is alot safer to drive at high speeds than the nsx.
    So you only got your 300zx to compare other cars to.
