That's right, I remember a bit of that when Clarkson talked about the Esprit.

The Esprit V8 though is the final evolution and with some (possibly serious) money being spent on one that's in optimum condition, it would be absolutely awesome to own.
I also heard that the V8 Esprits are unreliable.

For me, it'd be the NSX all the way. Did my username give it away?

Yes, the gearbox quite simply can't handle the power.

Hence my comment about spending money on it, lmao! When you're into British sportscars, you can't afford to let that scare you!

Nope, never heard of that before.

Esprit, the NSX never had the power cause of the Japenese "gentleman" rule.

both, even if i voted for the NSX because of the superior balance, just a matter of how much money they spent on the development. both car are in my dreambox, i guess the NSX could be a little better in everyday use, but the Esprit has all another heritage and a "true-man" driving experience. i repeat. both.
