Message 1992 NSX (80k miles) vs. 2002 C5-Z06 (50k miles)

Both in great condition, documented maintenance. I have read up on both cars extensively, but itd be great to hear first hand experiences.

The NSX seems to be the halo car of handling, with completely light and neutral feel from the mid-engine setup. The most common phrase from owners that I've heard is that you won't understand why it's $90k new until you drive one. But the achilles heel is that it is somewhat underpowered.

The Z06 has the power, but it's so common and the interior is dreadful. I've spent a few days driving a c6, which was nice but don't know if it's comparable with the c5. The visibility out front was somewhat strange because you see the entire front hood due to the bulges of the fenders.

The only thing about the NSX is... can you really justify spending $25k on something that is nearing 20 years old? I would absolutely love it, but don't know if its worth it. I know it's not exactly z-related but I would value your opinions if you've had any with these cars. Plus its a slow saturday =)
