Not from what I've heard/read

and it costs a lot more. a 911 turbo cost almost the same as an nsx and its a much much much better drivers machine.
A 993 Turbo? An interesting comparison but it's worth noting that with the NSX you do get exclusivity, at least in the UK. I'm not going to try to prove that the NSX is better value for money than the 911 Turbo, but what I am saying is that it's not one of the "10 Worst value cars ever".

In this country, where neither car has the advantage of being in it's domestic market, a Z06 costs more than an NSX...but even if the Z06 were cheaper, it doesn't bother me. I like them.

They are simply two different kinds of sports car - happening to cost the same will inevitably lead to comparison but you have to think about what you're comparing and why...in other words: "What's relevant?"

Personally I've never driven from 0-60 as fast as possible on the road, so the figure means nothing to me in the real world. 30-100 through the gears though means MUCH more.
