      Just realized how close in cost they are at the moment

          NSX looks dated yet the older M3 is a classic shape

            Guarantee almost none of the people who have replied here have driven an NSX.

            Driven a 91 a couple of times myself. What a god damn machine. Easier to drive than a civic but it will god damn produce a smile on your face like no other car when you're at it's limits. I would own it over the E30 M3, they most likely both cost the same to maintain anyway.
            Out of the box the NSX will certainly out accelerate, out corner, and out brake an E30 M3.


            EDIT: thinking about it now, they are both pretty comparable creatures. When you're inside an E30 M3 or an NSX you can forget the type of car that it actually is capable of being. The E30 M3 and NSX can both be daily driven fairly easily, comfortably, and reliably. Drive it to the track and drive it back type of deals.

              The NSX looks like it could be built today and is one of the best looking cars of all time

                Already owned an e30 M3, so I'd have to say NSX. I was recently considering an NSX, but got a Viper instead.

                    M3 for sure. It just has that tough front on it and the classic guards. NSX looks like a kit car in comparison.

                    That being said I do like the NSX a lot.

                    I just like my e30 M3 more.

                          From most angles the NSX looks great. From ALL angles, the m3 looks sex.

                              You're asking this question in a e30 forum..lol of course people are going to go with the e30 M3..ask the same me question in a NSX forum, and it will be the opposite

                                Wow, all forum bias aside I'm surprised how many people are saying the M3 has the NSX in the looks department. I mean it's cool and all, but the NSX is in a different class when it comes to appearance. Especially if you compare two stock cars, the NSX has the curves, the low profile, the intakes...also, which angle does an NSX not look good from, dozy?
