[simonprelude]

Shamelessly stolen from Prime but thought I'd post it over here as they used a UK car for the picture.

Cool, but I don't agree with many of their choices.

Old cars of the sixties are so much cooler than modern ones.

Aston DB5? Mercedes 300SL? Lambo Muira? Ferrari 250LM (ok maybe only a racing car)? Old Ford Mustangs?

[Sudesh]

Great link! Nice to see the NSX is still up there after 17years

Hmmm no E-Type, 250LM, GT40, Dino, Stratos but #2 is an Audi :laugh:

You have to love the American sense of taste:no:

[Lankstarr]

My Bro has a big thing for Lancias - saw a Stratos(replica) flying around a track a few weeks back, it was only a replica but a good one and prob wirth about 40k!

Surprised the Integrale didn't make it, they probably don't know what that is in the Stats!!

[WhyOne?]

You want to like it and belive it because the NSX is number 5............but holy-moley many of the other cars included make it loose an awful lot of credibility......Ford Lightning Pick-up...cool.....oh dear!

Also, they could have done with including a picture of an Enzo on the Enzo entry!!!!!

Whats wrong with a Ford Lightning! :beatdown:
I had one for two years and loved it, got comments all the time about it, I even got a driving ban in France for doing 140...................kmh :proud:

[Steveycaz]

The TG Cool Wall stimulates similar argument. Problem is how to define cool. Would Kristen Scott-Thomas think you were a berk if you collected her in any of these cars? :D

Also, I don't think the list is in any order. The NSX is in the top 50 rather than 5th out of 50! It's top of my list though :yes:

[Nick Graves]

Top ten pointless list of things to list...

It's gotta be cool to own a supercar no-one has heard of.

Actually, does anyone here own an Acura-badged NSX?

Yes once. Mags had a Acura, which was imported from Germany. Look through some of the really old photos and events and you'll see it.

There is one for sale on autotrader which belonged to a neighbour in Hemel Hempstead.

320hp apparently with a few subtle mods.

[TheSebringOne]

A neighbour? you mean your old one? did you move because you were'nt the only X owner in your old area!? ;) On a serious note, what kind of mods has he done to get to 320BHP? :)

[TheSebringOne]

No offence to our dear Americans across the pond, but they have no real taste in design, taste, shape & ergonomics unlike us Brits & Europeans. Anyway things like this are purely subjective & bias depending which side the pond you are! Why have they used a UK reg model X, when a majority of Xs were sold there?! :D

[simonprelude]

Just had a look on Autotrader, it's not for sale anymore.

I think it was just I/H/E and he claimed 320hp.

There were 4 NSX's in Hemel to my knowledge :)

[TheSebringOne]

I/H/E? Think E is for exhaust? whats the other two Simon? :dunno:

Thanks Reg & enjoy your cartoons at this wee hour !;)

Licked his finger and stuck it in the air perhaps?

[Senninha]

Licked his finger and stuck it in the air perhaps?Without supporting evidence I would second the above unless that particular NSX has a Type R engine. IMO, best you could hope for from I/H/E upgrade would be approaching 300hp unless you have a very strong unit to start with.
