Default Buick Regal vs Acura NSX

Long story short I ran an Acura NSX from 20-110 and pulled it 2 cars. Guy was being a doucher and proceeded to get yanked by a FWD automatic boat in his $80,000 "Supercar".

I lol'd.

Good kill, but don't put supercar in quotes... it definitely is one. Do you have any idea what year it was? They range from 252hp-290hp depending on year/transmission.

I never much cared for NSX's. Good kill in the regal!

Saw you cruising up and down the pike Sat. I was waiting for you to pull into BK but you never did. We're down there every Sat so if you see the shelby, swing by!

It USED to MAYBE be considered a supercar... not nowdays.

Good kill, I don't nkow why anyone ever spent 80k on something with such little engine power.

I know it wasn't designed strictly to go fast in a straight line, but I just have such a hard time referring to any 13-second, sub-300hp car as a "supercar", especially one that came out in the last 20 years.

The car was at least a 2001+.

I was trying to get him to run me. It was a younger guy maybe 30 years old. I blipped the throttle at him a few times and he was with his girl just laughing hysterically at me and clapping out the window. We finally got a light and I said "You know it's a shame you won't run it, it'd probably be a sick race". He proceeded to burst into laughter and tell me I should do stand up comedy. The light turned green and I again paced him till he punched it at 20. Much to his shigrin the Regal didn't spin and I started to yank the **** out of him.

I guess I was the real loser anyway, since he was in an Acura you know.

Nice kill.
I love put cocky douchebags in their place.

That being said, I'd rather have an NSX over a Regal GS. JMO.

Guy seems like a douchnozzle so great kill.

But lol at the "its not that fast in a straight line so its not a super car" comments.

This is much akin to how C6 ZO6 owners are in awe that on most road courses a bone stock s2000 will stay ahead of them. "but but its slow in a straight line!"

WHile it seems overpriced to me for what it is that doesnt change the fact of how amazing of a car it is, straight line speed was never its priority but yet when it originally came out in the early 90s it was "fast" for the time.

Still way to show him what was up, i only know one acura NSX owner and he is cool as hell most of the time, their are ******* owners no matter the type of vehicle.

Me too. Then I could sell it for $50,000 and build a 10 second GTO and an 11 second Regal!

Nice kill on the jerk.
Actually the newer ones have been known to dip in the high 12s on a good night. They are nice cars...

Nice. I have nothing against the car, just when ******** drive them. My Regal should dip into the 12's on a good night too

Mid 13's to low 14's out of a "supercar" wasn't fast even for the early 90's. The Corvette ZR1 and Dodge Viper RT/10 offered much faster acceleration and would run with an NSX in the corners no problem. In some tests the ZR1 outperformed the NSX in slalom and skidpad. And cost about $15,000 less to boot!
