I havent decided 100% yet but it is between an Acura NSX “which I would supercharge”, 97+ Lotus Espirit TwinTurbo, or a 3000gt Vr4 Spyder convertible…

95-99 3000GT VR-4 is a mean ass car, but also heavy as fuck… and after that, deciding to get the spyder that is even heavier than the regular VR-4 :nono: function over fashion, u can have both but make sure u get the important one first.

friend of mine just sold a pimp, black NSX. u missed out on a hell of a deal

The spyder only weighs 300pnds more then a 2nd gen Vr4… Having a hardtop convertible 3000gt spyder, with some Dr650 turbos would be a compromise between style/performance… With the right mods, it will run 11’s easily… Also, I am not buying the car just to make it a track/street monster :mullet: … There will defanitly be a lot of “show” when I am done with it… 1st gen NSX’s run something like 13.8 from the factory and the comptech SC kit costs upwards of 8 grand…

I dont have enough $ to get a 95+ NSX with the targa which I really want… But I would be able to afford a 91-94 NSX without targa… So I might rule out the NSX untill I have enough to get the targa version… So it is probaly between the Lotus and the Spyder… I know the Espirits have their problems and are costly to own, but having a rwd V8 TwinTurbo would be sswweeeett
