    Replace the esprit with a Nissan R390 GT1 and it'd have my vote.

    I believe the 355 styling is timeless and looks amazing oh and the sound of a tubi exhaust on that car is pure automotive exhilaration.

    I really love the 355. But I suppose the best overall car of those is by far the Honda. Reliable hig-revving engine, user-friendly with refined handling and easier to explore. It would be my choice.

    4.7 is the best I've seen for a regular NSX with a 1/4 mile of 13.1. Seems a bit optimistic to me though. Here's the article:

    The NSX-R however does the 1/4 mile in high 12s and 0-60 def. between 4.6 and 5.0.

    I lust for a red over tan F355 Spyder with a traditional 6 speed and a Tubi exhaust. Oh, the exquisite sounds those cars make.

    Yes who needs a Honda with that...

    Altough the Esprit is also appealing.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.
