Plus 7K in 3 hours?

If the right bidders are there, sure. If you think about it, there's a psychological break at 20, another (maybe) at 22/23, and then it's 25. I think it will clear 20 easily, so the only question is whether the bidding will stop at 22500ish or go on. I think it will go on.

Put another way--if I wanted a nice, clean, early 944T, this is the one I would buy. Would I pay 25 for it instead of 20? Sure.

You have seen an NSX though right? It's really no contest compared to a boxster.

Yeah, it's the one that looks like a C5 Corvette, right?

I mean, they're nice enough, but even new back in 1991 I thought they were kind of plain.

That Porsche is over 20 now with 2 hours to go.

When I was about 13 a local restaurant owner bought a brand new NSX that he drove daily to and from work. I lusted after that thing. I knew nothing about it other than how it looked, sounded, and was gushed over by the auto rags I read at the time.

I kept in the back of my mind the possibility that I could buy one when I was gainfully employed, thinking back to the "daily driver supercar" status the magazines gave it. When I sold my E36 M3 I strongly debated buying one, though they were already absurdly expensive, even for early models.

Then I drove one, and drove another one and then a third one, this over the span 2009-2013. To say it was a disappointment would be a massive understatement. The early cars are geared really... let's say "interestingly." The engine sounded good, but didn't give me the same chills a Porsche flat-6 or a BMW inline-6 do. None of them were what I'd call fast - my 986 Boxster would certainly have kept up. But the real kicker was the handling. Every single one of them felt way, way bigger than they actually were. Lots of understeer followed by at-the-limit twitchiness. Brutally slow steering. A bit ponderous and reluctant. Not what I expected.

Yes, the controls were exquisite, but so are a Boxster's.
Yes, the interior was very nice, but in a decidedly '90's throwback sort of way.

I think the appeal is that they're quite exotic looking and were made in extremely small numbers, so they're still a bit of a novelty. But I'm glad I didn't end up buying one, because driving it was a huge disappointment.

That's the best praise a c5 could ever get. :lol:

It's on...

There was a pretty high reserve, now met.

GOOD GOD you were right. 26 with 2 min left.

Still going, thanks to the anti-sniping rule.

I can't imagine 27500, but who knows?

The NSX closed at 82K with reserve NOT met!! Jesus
