I was shopping around for a newer car with lower miles, and the G35 and the new G37 were an option. Another Z with lower miles would have been nice too, but they are so hard to find in my area these days. The G37 supply is looking scarce. After driving a 2006 G35 6MT, I was mildly impressed. It wasn't in the right color comb and it was just so much bigger than the Z but with about the same if not less trunk space. The higher RPMs were rough and unsettling even though it had only 7k miles.

I had already looked at another NSX with 20k miles on it, but the deal went sour, as the guy really didn't want to sell it and there were just some other complications. So I went back to the dealer with the G35 and saw the NSX sitting in the showroom. The G35 was sold already anyways for about 30 grand. Long story short, I haggled with the salesman and after some minutes of viewing it, he pulled the car out the showroom and let me test drive it. Needless to say, I was sold and the rest was history as I sat at the dealership for about 2 hours to get all the paper work and tags/plates done.

So here I stand with a 1995 Acura NSX-T, with about 15k on the odometer. Mint condition, all services up to date, and original everything + more goodies. The NSX was used as a trade in for a 360 Modena.

I must say it is very similiar to the Z in layout of the interior. The weight difference between the two cars are like night and day at about 3100 lbs vs 3500 lbs. The car feels much more nimble than the Z and the 8000 RPM redline is quite nice. I miss the Z though and I hope to buy another one soon in the next few months. It probably will be a non-turbo Z with lower miles hopefully, and a slicktop would be nice. It would be my DD/winter car as it doesn't require as much maintainence. Gotta get a new DD soon since I sold my old DD too. Just thought I would share. I don't really post much on here, as I read more than I post. Hope to come back soon with new Z pics in the future.
