HP is a little low. 290 or so on the newer cars. However the car is engineered for speed, I believe top speed is 180mph. I like that. ;-) Not that I'll ever use it, of course, but I like it anyway. :) I'd really like an Esprit, actually. 350hp in the V8 version. Problem is I'm not so sure a Lotus would be a good daily driver... The NSX is designed for it and I can have the thing serviced anywhere. Not so much with an Esprit. Are there any other nice exotics under about $60k (gently used) with high performance, yet with a decent service network in place? NSX and Viper are the only two I can think of.... -Ryan On 5/8/06, John Dore <dmcjohn@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > Hi Dick, > > John DeLorean did have a red NSX when I visited him at his home in > NJ, August '98.
