I have a NSX and a GTO.

Sold my RX7 TT (FD)

Interesting mix of power plants.

IMHO, the LSx powerplant is the BEST one in the world when u factor all of these"

-MPG
- Flat power curve
- High N/A HP/TQ
- U can get alot more power that is smog legal by California standards (or beyond)

There's probably a few more that I forgot, but this short list is suffice.

While I like the NSX fit and finish as well as exotic look and feel, I must admit that I got hooked with the notion of a flat power-band since the RX7 (turbos kicking in at 2k RPMs) and the GTO.

I'm planning on selling the NSX next year and replacing it with a Yellow C6 Z06.

I will give the Acura NSX credit in 2 areas:

- Reliability is second to none. Nothing has broken down. Period.
- Resell value on these are probably the strongest (along with the MKIV) for any mass produced sports cars. RX7 is strong too if you take care of it. I sold my FD for $15k with 250k+ miles on it.
