Rufmd, nice Lotus, it must be pretty fast with the race ecu installed. I almost bought one but got the turbo instead. Eventually I will get one...

Prices on the Lotus are only getting better...who knows, maybe you will pick up one of the last build '04's with the adjustable Bilstein suspension !

I have a 97 NSX with the Comptech Supercharger and I love it. Mechanically the same as a 2004 but slightly different cosmetically. It is definitely not a fast as the TT but I feel it is a nicer car to drive. If you're in the Phoenix area and want to take one for a ride let me know. You may also want to look at www.nsxprime.com. There are several active NSX club members in the LA area and I'm sure many of them would be happy to let you check out their cars.

so i just got back from the dealership. they had a yellow one, the only one left in southern california. I told them i'd take it. I hadn't really sat in it though because the battery was dead and the seat was stuck too far forward.
So, i had them charge it up while we were doing the paperwork and everything. They ran my credit and all that stuff. Just before i signed my name on the line i said i wanted to get one good sit in it and wouldn't you know, i don't fit. I'm 6'2 and my head hits the roof. ****! All that time wasted, plus they ran my credit already so that sucks. Oh well, nothing i can do about it. I guess i'm just long in the torso. Thanks anyway guys, back to the drawing board.

Go to www.daliracing.com. They sell a shorter seat cushion that will get 1-2" of extra headroom.
Here's the listing:

The '97s looked the best , down to the machine- finish wheels. They feel so light and lively compared to 911s . The rorty exhaust wail above 6000 rpm is a lot of fun. The current ones with the reptilian headlights are pretty homely looking, though.
Don't be put off by the $90K msrp. They haven't sold well for a decade , so you can occas get factory subsidized lease deals that are like cars half it's price . Buying outright a car with that kind of depreciation would be nutty.
Look at this if you don't believe me : Typical Acura " Lease it... Pleeeez " on an NSX-T
BTW, no options on NSX-T . Everything included for your MSRP. Porsches, OTOH ..."what do you mean you want leather with that "?
