I've written about the NSX several times

and after achieving 162 mph at last weekend's VMax

 I have decided that I will not be able to make it go any faster. I am starting to wonder if the NSX's time has gone - it woke up the established car players in the early 90's, but as time has moved on and other manufacturers have improved the range (Ferrari for instance went from 348-355-360-430), the NSX stayed still.

Recently the car magazines have begun testing the new Nissan GTR, with all saying it surpasses the opposition.

Now 55k isn't cheap, but when 05 plate NSX's are going for 45k, and 911 Turbos >100k, it starts to look like remarkably good value. Especially when you consider it can get round the 'ring in 07:38. Astonishing!
