Sure a corvette may be faster than an NSX but I'll put the driving experience of an NSX up against a vette any day of the week.

Well it depends on what your definition of fun is.
My definition of fun isn't spending twice as much for the same amount of "fun" all things being equal. My version of fun would be more along the lines of taking it out and beating on it every once and a while at a track. Some folks would rather pull the toy out for a weekend cruise to get looks. Personally for that kind of dough I'd rather have a car that can put up some better numbers bone stock. If I wanted a car to tool around town in I'd go pick up a nice luxury sedan and turn heads in REAL comfort.
Not saying the NSX isn't a nice car...just in my book there are better deals. The NSX for the price doesn't have the performance to validate buy,it doesn't have the mystique to validate the buy, it doesn't have the notariaty to validate the buy. Again in my opinion. Not sure how much he is going to spend on this thing but let's say 50k. For that much money I can think of several other cars I'd rather have.
