Default Ownage to the Acura NSX

Not sure what year or what mods cause we were on the fly, but the LT4 put the smack down!

He pulls next to me going 35 and starts to toy with me..laughing as if he was about to own me..not today. 35 to 130 pulled on him by a couple cars and finished it off that way. I thought these things were supposed to be fast? Damn son @ the price they want for one I would want a little more power then what I saw.

well according to Google (i know nothing about NSX's) they are either 252 or 290 horsepower, i guess that depends on the year. The weight is in the 3100 range... so ehh, but i would take one as a auto-X car.

I like the very clean look of the NSX, and how often do you really get to see one? Looking inside of one, I really appreciated the simplicity of the interior. It seems like a very purposeful machine. Nice kill, but maybe you got one of the slower ones, even with you being cam/heads I don't think the 290hp one would be a challenge in any case if they are stock.

I raced an NSX from a dig when my old 98 Z28 was new. Only had a B&B catback and 4.10's and was ahead of him by 2 1/2 cars...all the way up to 110.

I agree..either way he gets smoked.

Mod wise, pretty sure he had exhaust and a cold air..sure sounded like it anyway.

NSXs are the worst "sports" car ever made. I read an article once and it came in last in almost everything... It was slow, it couldn't do the slalom for BEANS... I don't know why Honda kept making those stupid things!

There's a couple around here I've been wanting to run into... When I owned my lifted Suburban I LITERALLY wanted to, now I just want to run into them to race

My best kill was in my 91 TPI against a S2000 heh He was impressed too and nodded, waved, and we went our separate off-ramps

NSX's are awesome road course / track cars, but for speed, it's either forced induction or go home with those cars, not very fast.

I had an lightly modded STI and I never had to worry about an NSX...now on the track...watch out...

an old friend of mine beat an nsx in his intake/nitrous mustang.... it was a v6 mustang... and it was like a 2000. the nsx is slow. but it looks cool. either way the skyline is king of the import road.

the nsx is a great car! You guys should watch some Top Gear videos on youtube. It went mostly unchanged from it's introduction in 91. Because of the top notch **** on this car, it was that the European exotics stopped ******* around and really hopped back on their horses. Ferrari really started developing better and faster cars because of the pressure put on them from this Japanese newcomer. These cars weren't meant for the straights.\


But yes, they are not fast in the sense of speed.
