Obviously two different automobiles. I have always loved the NSX (Soichiro Honda was in love with the F16 fighter jet, which was his inspiration for the NSX, and therefore some of the appeal of the design). I've heard that the NSX, on the race course, drives as easily as an Accord, even at high speed.
Now, an interesting little story. Before I purchased my 850, I was also looking at NSX's. The BMW salesman who sold me my 850 was on his second NSX. He was a former Trans-Am racer and seemed to know his automobiles. As we talked, he said that I'd be much happier with a used 850 over a used NSX. He felt that after around 70K miles, the Acura/Honda was starting to wear out (hence his second NSX); while the Bimmer was just getting started (the motors in the 8's are bullet proof). I still love the styling and handling of the NSX, but am quite happy with my decision. So...if you can hold on to both cars, you'll have the best of two worlds.
