I want a unique, real retro-classic that can run a low 10 second quarter, handle like a Boxer, and be somewhat comfortable to drive.
How about if it gets good gas mileage too?  And inexpensive to acquire and maintain? 
I hear you, Mike. I think we all want that at some level. Your Stingray project sounds fantastic! I envy those of you that have the time, skills and resources to indulge this dream.
HomeDad, that is sweet!

Lol, that's mostly my garage car, doesn't get much use now that we have 2 kids. Bought it about a month after my wife and I got married 8 years ago, when I still had a little control over our money.

At that price, it either better wash itself or come with a servant who does it for you!
The real question is: what's the MPG on that thing?

You have some letters switched around. I think you mean GPM.

'course, if HomeDad made the payments on that sexy machine, he's probably not too worried about the occasional fill-up denting his wallet. Homie, I need to borrow that car for some cognitive behavioral therapy for a difficult patient of mine. I figure a couple of weeks as a passenger with me behind the wheel will cure him of all that ails him...

I drove a buddies NSX a few years ago when they first came out (mid nineties?). His had the five speed. The car definitely was beyond my abilities to push it and I consider myself a pretty good driver. I couldn’t even get the tires to squeal, and I tried real hard……That mid engine design is amazing. I also thought the car was incredibly comfortable and everything was ‘natural’ to reach and operate. Not like many of the European sports cars I’ve drove. I’ll echo’s Randy’s comments, I’m jealous. Sweet car. Nice looking house too….

the mileage refers to the Veyron, not the NSX. Having a V6, I'm sure the NSX isn't too bad on mileage.

Oh yeah, now I see. Stupid ADHD flaring up again!  Yeah, Honda engineering never fails to amaze me. I'm sure that the NSX gets better mileage than most sport utes. Having never driven an NSX in person, the closest I can offer as testimony is that it was very tricky to learn to drive in Gran Turismo (I), the Playstation game. That midengine design had me squealing all over the place. So, mdrew, does this mean I'm a better driver than you? LOL, I seriously doubt it. Half the time I was fish-tailing, then the other half I would understeer into something.

Mike's right about the NSX's ability to corner, mine is lowered with racing suspension and custom 17 inch front and 18 inch rears tires, rather than the 16 inch stock. I've never been able to break the wheels even with some pretty scary driving. The engineering is truly great, the car will get 25mpg on the highway even at excessive speeds. In the 8 years I've owned the car the only maintenance done has been, tires, oil and filters. The plugs are changed every 60,000 miles so I've got another 10 years at the mileage I drive it until I need to get that done. J.P. you are more than welcome to take the car out for a therapeutically prescribed run, but of course I'll need her picture in advance and all details afterwards
