Obviously top end will rape you, but that's to be expected.

Besides who is going to hit 160+ on the street anyway? You'd need 3 miles of straight cop-free road.
NSX loses and looks bad doing it.
The Japs didn't make this car for drag racing.

I'd think that the design of the f-body compared to the NSX is going to hurt it. I haven't been in either car at top speed, so I wouldn't know. I was speaking of top end as over 110. Why is it expected? I'd pick any aerodynamic sports car over a stockish F-body any day on top end...as far as I know they weren't designed for very high speeds with regard to drag. Again, I could be wrong. Can they reach that high of a top speed?
But like you said, on the street that isn't really an option. Abandoned air fields can be fun though.

The only NSX I've ever seen run at the track ran a mid 13, and the driver was a total idiot FWIW.
You're running a 306 on stock manifolds? Your car must be so damn choked it's unbelievable..

I still think the aerodynamics might play into it, but I'd have to watch the race happen. My bet would be that you'd be so far ahead of him at that point that it wouldn't matter anyway. Would be fun to watch though!

My T/A is stable up to 125.
How about the NSX?

Now if you try to maintain that 160mph for any appreciable amount of time and wish to stop in a safe and sane manner you're going to need some serious room.

Show this NSX what a LS1 can do.

That's what they get for using the same design from the 80s.

You can make an LS1 fly in any configuration you'd like. Mine is still a 5.7L (4.125 x 3.25) but it safely handles 9,000 RPM sustained. My 1/4 Mile sucks bad though.
