The NSX really holds its value well!

I see one regulary, red model 1 I think, on an NSX private plate, I think it is the owner of Rowes Honda in Dobwalls.

Also the 2JZ supra engine fits in the S2000. I can imagine it would be brilliant!

Spotted in Sydney - You have to need your head examined to buy these things over here - you're paying $300K over the European price.

My engine doesn't look like that, and can confirm it is inset a bit into the dash under the pollen filter.

It's not mid engined though, in any way, shape or form

That's a diesel but they all sit in the same position relative to the bulkhead. Look again because it's nowhere near being under the dash.

Out of interest, what is the weight of an F20? That 2JZ must be about double the weight?

Simon · 11 Dec 2013 at 22:45

150-160kg for F20. The LS1 is about 75more. Not sure on 2JZ

My car's engine goes far back into the dash innards and isn't above the front wheels either, does that make it basically mid engined? Certainly not.

As I said, I'll drive one and see for myself as I can't imagine the feel being the same (noise, driving position, build quality inside etc etc) but am happy to prove myself wrong all the same and hey, if it is 90% then there are plenty about at decent prices should the desire ever come about?

Out of interest? What else have you driven apart from a BMW and NSX

Is it just me or is this thread supposed to be a daily encounter thread?

Couple of interesting spots whilst parked in Westminster

Can you guess them all?

mrk · 11 Dec 2013 at 23:38

Left to right ignoring the Merc ML: DBS, Shelby, F355, Veyron, Old skool Mercedes coupe?

MrMarvelous · 12 Dec 2013 at 00:03

Would love to know how much £££££ worth of cars is in that car park.

86JR · 12 Dec 2013 at 02:48

Shelby? I thought it was an E-Type and either F430 or F458 next to it. Too curvy to be a 355...

^JP^ · 13 Dec 2013 at 17:40

Always some crazy cars outside here when I drive past!

Uploaded from my phone so I didn't resize.

Nice weather here in Florida btw

Surely all of those are wrong including the ML (which looks like a lexus to me?), then an E-Type and a 458?

thecremeegg · 13 Dec 2013 at 18:11

Looks more like an E-type and a 550 to me

Lulwut?

Lexus Rx, Aston V8 vantage, Jag E - type, Ferrari 360? Merc old SL?

mrk · 13 Dec 2013 at 19:37

The Veyron was a joke

but I didn't even look closely at the Lexus and just saw the chrome grille and thought Merc

rare · 13 Dec 2013 at 21:33

Sweet jesus. What is it with Americans and ridiculous size wheels.

Jeci · 14 Dec 2013 at 09:06

This looks pretty new:
