Race against a rare car So I am on my way to work this evening and get off the interstate within about a 1/4 mile of work. As I come up to a stoplight a see a nice red Acura NSX with some nice looking wheels on it, but not blingy though, more like a trackworthy setup.
Anyways, as I approach the stoplight it turns green before I get there, but the NSX kind of waits on me. So, I keep it about 20 mph and slowly roll by as I get next to him he hammers it, in what seems to be first gear. I keep it in third and just put the hammer down, he stayed beside me for a second but as I got more into my powerband I began to pull away, just as I start pulling I hear him hit the rev limiter. At this point I let off because we were on a city street and there was no reason to stay in it any longer and he goes flying by as a I have to stop because of traffic in my lane. I am sure he had some mods because it sounded pretty healthy but it still didn't have enough to drive around me. I never see any NSX's around so I thought it was cool to actually get a run with one. They are beautiful cars too.

I know they are more of a road course or auto x car. But I was MMOB, as the GTO guys say, and he started it lol. I would own one but not over my Vette, I don't have the money for both lol.

You forget vettes aren't really supposed to be straight line cars either. I would bet my pay check a z06 or even a vette would destroy a nsx on a track. Either way nice kill, there is a pretty nasty nsx running around here from what I've heard.

My wife is in love with Nsx's. There was a blue one for sale in town at a local exotic dealership, 2004ish I think with 10,000 miles on it. They wanted $40,000!!! I actually contemplated it but when I sat inside of it I was very dissapointed, the interior of those cars are pathetic for the price tag, I felt like I was in a old Honda Civic.
Gorgeous...
