what would you rather purchase?

A brand new Lancer Evo/WRX STI (whichever you prefer) or an early 90's NSX? This is assuming that both cars would cost the exact same amount of money.

I have been pondering this question for the past week, and I just can't decide. There are too many pros and cons of each decision. But, I think I would take the NSX because too many people rice out the imports, and I think I want my next car to have a little more sophistication.

evo or sti, its a hard choice. NSX will cost way to much to fix. I'd say STI cause there are too many Evos where I live.

I've heard NSX's aren't very costly to maintain. no more than any other Acura product. that's just what I've heard.

Nsx definitely

Id go for the nsx just for the fact that there arent a lot of them out there. I dont know about the difference in performance, or price to fix, but i like the style much more too. Ive always had a thing for the nsx, ever since i got to drive one........

STi becuase I would tune it and Ive had a WRX so Im kind of biast. EVO would follow second becuase I like they way it looks modded over the STi, but the Mitsu quality just gets me down. The NSX in 3rd becuase if its an early 90s, it means its at least 10 years old, which means no warranty, small problems and rising costs.

EVO/STi

The NSX is old news... not to mention it isn't all that fast compared to a lot of the newer cars.

I'd say get the NSX, and make it look clean and sound nice. They are rare and it will really be a head turner. Also look out on the NSX it eats rear tires like cheese. I think people said the only draw back is the rear tires wear out every 10k no matter what. But the plus is ur handling is awesome.
