People often say to me things like "my BMW M6 or suped up Ford Mustang is faster than a Ferrari 360"... That may be true. I doubt it but even if so, it's not the work of art a Ferrari or Lamborghini is... nor will still be considered in 30 years from now.

I know I could spend a quarter of the money on a "hooked up" Corvette to go faster but that's not the point. And I know the Vette get's "attention" but again it's not the point... Well maybe a little...
I agree with you 100%!!!

I dont think the NSX is in the "exotic" class, since Honda anounced that they are coming out with a new "NSX". I'm more of a Classic Car buff rather than an exotic. I would rather have a Rare classic car than a so called import exotic. If I wanted speed I would invest in a new ZR1 Corvette and all the exotics will see is my tail lights

the nsx is definitely considered an exotic, it is not a everyday vehicle that you see on a showroom floor

So does an exotic mean low production numbers? Is a Ford GT considered an exotic? or the new GT500 KR edition? The new Corvette ZR1 is suppose to be low production also. I just think the NSX is very mild in styling and doesn't have that WOW appeal. Performance is also not the greatest since its only a V6

Don't forget about the countless BMWs. I didn't realize how many there were until I bought mine. To the OP, yes we see alot of Lambos and Bentleys and the such. Especially down in the Green Valley area where the money is. I'm sure you would see them in Summerlin too but I don't get over there often. I saw a Murchialago parked in front of a mobile home on Nellis Blvd and LV blvd one night during a patrol.

I've never seen a Lamborghini in Green Valley, I have seen only one Bentley...Just mainly compact Mercedes or BMWs...those are the only exotics that I've really seen in that area...
I've seen lots of exotic cars downtown and near the medical district off of Rancho and midtown on Paradise and Maryland...

Well I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on the NSX since I think the stying is great. However, here's our own little "exotic". Not really all that expensive but a load of fun to drive

I took this last night on the way home. I'm no Ferrari expert but it looked like a 612 Scaglietti. Correct me someone if I'm wrong. Its in front of the white pick up. Sorry if this image stinks, it was the best one I got. This car was stunning, very brand new, and flawless, I rolled the windows down so I could her the engine hum......... what a car!!!!
