I guess I might be an older person by some standards, but I refuse to grow up, hah! 
In 1991 the car was sold to Reggie Jackson for $89,000 and two years ago sold at auction for $190,000. It was a red vert with a white top. A lot of people saw it on TV when it sold.

I am also really mature for my age and unlike most other teenages with V8's, i dont find being a Jackass in my car to be something to joke about. These cars demand respect and when you thing you are a man, it will show you its *** in a hurry. Gosh, I sound like you you old fart Hope yalls opinion of my hasnt changed. LOL better than the hondas I used to want...oh lord, what was I thinking.payin my own car payments, gas, and all my mods

While my loyalties are always with the blue oval... don't bash Honda.
They make some pretty sick cars... the NSX-R spanked the Lambo Murcielago + Gallardo, Ferrari 360 Modena, Porsche 911, and BMW M3 CS-1 on a road track course... with a 200hp handicap to the Murcielago's 560.
Plus... they get good gas mileage

Oh the good lord knows id love to get gas mileage like a honda, so im not bashing their engineers AMAZING economy skills. But from a performance standpoint, it cost WAY too much money to make one fast and reliable. Oh and might we add that the "Honda" Nsx R costs almost 100k. But yes, id love to have one but I could do a lot more with a 100k. Used ferrari anyone?
