What color was it? I still have my '94. Not that I'm complaining, but the wife won't let me sell it. She knows I'll just replace it with something far less safe.
The 2016 looks amazing but, like the latest Ford GT just announced, really doesn't maintain enough lineage to bear the name IMO. Not that my opinion matters, as I'll never buy one new.
You have a '94 NSX!! Get out of here!!
My '94 was white. Don't tell me your is a white also, then I really have to take you out for a lunch and buy you a beer.
The 2016 have a pretty tough act to follow, and I'm agree, I also wish the design shown more lineage to the original.
I'll see you at track with this.
2016 Cayman GT4: 385 hp 3.8-liter flat-six, 0-60 4.2 second, MSRP $$84,600
I think you are right, now that he's taking listings:
Years ago before kids come alone and after getting some real salary, I pull the trigger and bought an used 1994 NSX. That was the last model year without the power steering and that NSX was the most exciting sport car I ever own.
Now I have my eye on the new 2016 Acura NSX, just revealed it's the final production form at the North America International Auto Show at Detroit.
Powered by a twin-turbocharged V6 engine and three electric motors, total power output north of 550 hp and 9-speed dual clutch transmission, looks pretty promising.

And I should have kept my Toyota Supra and non-RS GT3.Coleman said:

Brooklands Green Pearl here. No lunch. 
I'll be looking forward to the test writeups on the new NSX in the coming months. It'll be interesting to see what they compare the car to. The original NSX was panned for being a Japanese Ferrari without the "soul". 25 years later I think the final verdict is the NSX was more important to automotive history than the 348 and simply a better car. It has plenty of soul; it just doesn't whine about it.

Though I don't care for the green.
Sell it to me, and I will sell it back whenever you want. I hear they are going for like $25k these days! ;D
I have a huge bias, but the NSX is probably one of the best aging cars I've ever seen. Ferraris from the same era -
Let's see Honda come out with an s2000 replacement. Even the Civic Type R from this video would be a great addition to the US market.

USC - yup, GT3s are climbing in price too. Luckily, you got into an RS though. In the realm of P-Cars exclusivity does demand a premium and adds a lot in terms of collectibility. Wonder how the 997 GT3 will be in terms of collectibility. Do you know if their total release numbers are limited by the initial issues that they were having? 997 would be a good car to pick up in like 7 years or so.

The 997 GT3 RS market is trading like the Ferrari market where cars with super low mileage (sub 5k) are selling for over sticker....certain PTS (paint-to-sample) colors like the greens and the blues are trading for over sticker as well. I think they only produced a few thousand 997 GT3 & RSs worldwide and there's about a 1,000 or so in the US. The 4.0RS is helping to lift up the prices of all the other 997 GT3s. From what I read, they will produce more 991 GT3s than 997 GT3s. In 5-10 years, I don't think mileage will be a big deal other than the bubble wrapped cars with sub 5k miles. I think collectors began stepping into the market back in late 2013 as they got more confident that the 991 GT3 was going to be PDK only. Those collectors are like FBCers in the 997 GT3 world driving prices higher. My RS with 22k miles would be consider high mileage but I don't give a crap, I love driving the car. It does feel nice that the car is worth 30k+ more than I paid for it (I've never experienced that before....the GT3 and Supra held their values).Coleman said:
This is kind of funny. Next time people going to check out new cars in Shanghai auto show, they really going to just check out the new cars.

They should drop the auto in auto show girls. It is not much a secret that these show girls make more money outside of the auto show, by using the auto show to present themselves to potential customers.

Yeah, it's definitely a great looking car and lot of power. But it's a manual only...you'll be able to pick up a 991 GT3 for under $100k used after the GT4 and 991 GT3 RS comes out. If I were to buy a new GT4 (I hate buying new) it would only be if I could get a custom color.lnc said:USCTrojanCPA said:

Just in case you guys haven't seem it, this is probably USC's next car.
Porsche GT3-RS 500 horsepower, 338 pound-feet of torque, 3.1-second 0-60 mph acceleration time and with a base price of $176,895.

@Paris - I like that color. Friend had the same color on his E46 M3 and I always liked it.
I actually prefer it to the new blue that they have. I liked Laguna Seca blue better.
@the GT3RS - Let's see how quick the price jumps on this car. Seems like the 918 owners get first pick. When paying nearly a million for a car, what's another $200k for a car to speculate a market with.
Look at the prices for the GT3RS 4.0!
@USCTrojan - you think the 991 will depreciate that far? Do you have any knowledge about production numbers? Were they less than the 997.1 and 997.2? Look into that Crystal Ball of yours and tell me when they will reach $80k. I will start saving today. Even if I bought at $80k and was forced to sell at $60k - $20k in depreciation would be well worth it!
