Aw jeez, was waiting for this update after seeing IG.

So 1g NSX was like my dream car forever, and I'm unabashedly a fanboi when it comes to 80s/90s hondas. I've owned Civics, Preludes, Accords, and they've all been slow, but after a few tweaks they just drove amazingly well, like precision little gokarts with nice interiors, perfect ergo, and high revving engines that thrive on abuse. For a long time, my dream combo was an aircooled 911 for summer, and the world's ****tiest, salvage title NSX on snows and rally wheels/lights for winter. That ship sailed so long ago tho, that ones filled with mud are now going for 20k.

I think there are two ways of looking at this.

1. Get the NSX. It's just as iconic as the 911 and due to the rarity, probably will go up even more. They made 911s for decades, but not 1g NSXs. It has desirable mods, and I'm sure driving it is sublime, like a friggin scalpel. No rust, ever, can daily drive an exotic car, basically. So awesome. The only con here I see are parts prices, I think, and possibly the community? I'm talking out of my ass here but hondatech leaves a lot to be desired compared to what we have here. So do honda meets and honda people.

2. Keep the 911. You've put too much into it, and although the NSX might have it on metrics, the rough around the edges rawness of LBDC is what you've been chasing for a while now. The NSX might feel too refined/boring by comparison, because that rawness is the goal of LBDC. Also, which is definitely worth mentioning, is the community behind the Porsche brand, this website, and the events. They're better than Acura equivalents, and that is part of the ownership experience.

I think the smartest move would be to move money around to have both, at least for a month, and then make a decision. I'm not sure how you could swing that, but having both at your disposal would tell you which way to go.
