I have owned...
-1991 BMW M5 (3.6L)
-1992 BMW 325iS
-1995 BMW M3
-1979 Porsche 930 turbo
-1995 BMW M3
-1966 Porsche 911 SWB (RSR clone, with hotair turbo)
-1995 BMW M3
-1995 BMW M3
-1997 BMW Z3 (RMS Stage II supercharged)
-1995 BMW 740i
-1997 Porsche 911 tt (with K27 turbos)
-1994 Acura NSX

As far as which one I have enjoyed the most is concerned... it would have to be one of the 911's - I have a love for porsches, unfortunatly they do not love me back. The 930 is a very raw vehicle, and an incredible experiance if you have not driven one... the 993 tt was also a very nice driving experiance, and with the larger/noiser turbos I got porsche 917 vibes whenever I gave the car some throttle... This said I like the nsx the most, as it is a vehicle that is incredable reliable (I have driven it 8k miles since Dec 2005, with no issues, including a cross country trip), it has good power, it is a fun car to modify, and the sound of the v6 right behind your head when you are rev'ing it to 8k is intoxicating... It's a car that is perfectly suited to my needs, if that makes sense.

Another way to put it... I am only 21 years old, obviously you can see I have had a number of cars, with my ownership of most of them being in the 6 month range - I cannot see myself selling this nsx at any point, perhaps purchasing some friends for it, but not replacing it.

[fire4adrymouth]

^ well said! Im 20 and on my 5th car so hes got me beat by a couple of cars! After all those M3s i figured thatd be one of his top pics....
ACURA is HONDA's luxury line of vehicles. Some opt to put the "H" emblem on their acuras to repressent the hometown of the cars origin, i.e.: the Acura TSX is like the euro R accord or something over seas.... If you look under the hood of any acura half the part numbers will have honda written on or next to them.

Very nice group of NSX's. How is that you've come to own so many cars in so short a time? Just curious how you come across all the money and what line of work you are in.

Now for a quick education on Honda/Acura's and this badging thing people are confused about and spreading misinformation about ...

North America is the only region that has Acuras. All the Acuras you see in America, in Japan they have Honda badges on them (mostly red badges with silver H's in the middle). That's for the Acuras that are produced in Japan and America together. Some Acuras were built only for the US market. Others, like the NSX and the Integras, are also in Japan. Thus, there they are called HONDA NSX or HONDA Integra (same for Europe).

In Europe, the Acura TSX is called the Honda Accord (and one of those models is the EuroR - think Type-R). There have also been Type-R Accords in Europe (saw one down the road from the flat I was staying at in Austria this past summer). But anyway ...

It's part of the "JDM" look. Try and recreate your USDM car to be as much like its JDM counterpart as possible. Many things are different and many of the Japanese cars came with features the American versions did not. Such as my S13 - in the Silvia models (maybe also the 180sx, not sure) of the S13 chassis you had the option to get a drink chiller inside your center console. It's only big enough for something like a sandwich or a 12oz can, but hey, it's something.

Same for headlights and taillights and the like. I'm sure many of the BMW and other European car owners are familiar with it. You might buy parts to replace on your car because you like the look of the European part vs the USDM.

it's funny..talking about porsche about this subject matter...

many people people go die hard and hit up the dealer trying to get them selves red/orange corner lights because european models have it...

but in opposit side, in europe, people go crazy for clear corners...

just a another view point, nothing else.

btw, my next car will probably a civic or RSX-s with K24/k20 stuff in it

[Chester27]

Im amazed you've had all of those cars at 21, must be a nice life man. As for the cars.... their all better then mine so be thankful. Sweet ride.

The RSX already has the K-series motor in it.

You wouldn't be the first with a K-series Civic, either. A couple of EG hatches have K20s and K24s in them - and they're all very fast. So it's become an easy swap to do (relatively) because so many people have done it so the material is available.

Me, personally, I want to get my feet wet in the German car world one day. I'd also like to do it before I move to Austria ... and that would probably be in about 7 years or so.

[mad-ass]

thanks for the info, but too bad i already know..

i thought you'd know what i ment when i typed k24/k20 stuff...

K24a block[Acura TSX or Euro Accord-R] and K20a1[Honda Integra Type-R] head...Ohhh.......

but either way, integra or civic, will have that power plan
