I like Vipers, but the fact that they are American doesn't settle well with me. Have any of you actually known someone who has a ton of miles on one? NSX BABY!!

The same could be said for any high end car. Have you ever seen high miles on a Ferrari, or lambo. Its a super car not meant for mileage. What is the highest mileage you've seen on a NSX?

True but the NXS is a Honda V6. How much do you see going wrong with it? I just like the looks of the NSX better than a Vette or Viper.

Honda accord v6 has issues, so does a honda oddysey. Minor issues but still cost money to get fixed.

Its really hard to say, its a really tuned v6 engine in the NSX. I'd rather have an NSX Type R than a Viper str10 simply cause of the dynamics and mid engine layout(And sickining race track capabilites). But I'm not sure how reliable the car is even though its a Honda. Its still a supercar.

Japan's speciality is making reliable cars, so maybe it has the best of both worlds.

I wish we had the capabilities of finding out. Have you ever priced any of the mods for the NSX? Talk about expensive. It was $2600 for a set of 6 forged rods. Superchargers are about Ten G's!! That's a lotto mobile.

I know someone who has the early Viper. In fact I think it's from the second year they made them. The interior of that thing is garbage. He takes care of it but it was so damn cheesy. It was the same carpeting on the door panels as the junk on the floor of my grandfathers old Chevy Lumina. But, then he opened the hood and that V-10 was a sexy sight. Still would rather take an NSX, maybe a fully built Supra.

The Viper looks too mainstream now. Still a sweet car though.

Looks a lot better than the previous generation. The hardtop also looks much better than the convertible currently out.

damnnnn! the viper is the reason i fell in love with cars in the first place! ill never forget opening my 1995 issue of road and track and seeing the 96 viper GTS. i was 10 at the time. since day one it has been my favorite car and whenever i see it, my heart skips a beat. its ****ing 8.3 LITERS of pure power. pushrod v-10, just pure muscle. true that the early models were crap quality but the 99 and up vipers have superior quality. as soon as i can afford one, i will get a 2001 GTS yellow with black racing stripes. btw, im not feeling the new GTS back end too much but im sure it will grow on me.

agreed, if it doesnt rev to 10,000 RPMs, say Supra or have VTEC then its garbage. Some of these kids need to RIDE in a Viper and have your nuts put into your stomach, thats a real car.

See, I don't think we are being close minded so much as realizing that we can have a much faster car for less money and at the same time, give it our own personal flare. I think the Viper is a great piece of machinery but it's not what I would choose if given the opportunity. You ever see Sport Compant Cars Ultimate Street Car Challenge? A Viper enters every year, sometimes multiple, and evey year it loses. Does it come in dead last, no, but it lost to a "inferior" vehicle. Mind you, this is after the Viper has been modified. In my area, I've seen less NSX's than Vipers too.
