Death by EVO, Challenger and NSX go down
All runs were in Mexico.
I was driving along the highway with a passenger when a really loud EVO pulls up along side of us. He doesn't have any passengers. We slow down to 55 and I honk it off. As I'm honking, I hear him brake boosting. We go and it turns out his car is much faster than I thought it would be! He pulls me by about 1.5 cars up to 120ish. This is the first solid loss I've had since getting H/C on the car over a year ago. In a way, it's nice to have motivation to mod more. Props to him for having such a quick car.
Earlier today, I was driving around town and spot a new blue Challenger driving by the parking lot I'm in, so I quickly turn out and follow him down a rather main road with traffic on it. Neither of us can really punch it, but I give him a rev with the cutout open right next to him to let him know I was game. I see that he's taking a right, so I follow him on the ramp, and as soon as we're going straight, we punch it - he's 5 cars or so ahead of me. I'm in the right lane, he's in the left. After a pull of a few seconds, he gets the idea that he won't be geting away and lets out. At that point, I was right on his back bumper. I got out to give him my card and noticed the hemi badges, etc. I assume the car was an R/T and not an SRT.
Also today, I was pulling out of a strip mall and I see a clean black NSX in line at the light. There are two turn lanes, so I pull up next to him and give him a thumbs up. He gives me a bit of a curious look and a thumbs up too. I think the fact that my car was ultra loud and camming weirded him out. Anyway, we made our left turn, got around a little traffic, and we punched it around 50mph. NSX's must not make much torque, because he dropped back pretty quickly and gave up quickly too (after pulling a car on him). We stopped at the next light and he says, "Wow, what you got in that thing?" So we talked and he was a really cool guy. Even though the design is old, those cars still look amazing.
My car is a H/C/I, stalled/geared 99 Z28.

Car and driver got the 3.2 NSX to run a high 12 actually, so it probably has deeper 12's in it.
I believe they also trapped above 108.
The 3.0 NSXs are kind of weak, usually mid to high 13's...
Nice kills OP.

Back in the mid 90's I got abused by an NSX when I had my old '66 Barracuda. My teenage ego had a lesson that day. They still look great to me though 15 years later. Timeless design.

To be honest in this instance, the nsx is WEAK on TQ. I think they really squeezed those numbers, I am not hating on honda I had 4 of them, would love to have an nsx.
