This is worse than Cobra myths, doesnt anyone here have an NSX to race any LS1 near them. I have a very hard time thinking an NSX will hang with stock C5 ZO6 power level. auto or not. Just doesnt add up to me. Im going to drive around this weekend until I find an NSX, then Im gonna call him all kinds of names and make him race. Ive seen the newest version ( I think ) in red locally.

Sounds to me like the NSX was modded. Are you really positive that it is stock? A guy on another board has a video of him killing an NSX in a Cobalt SS w/ just a CAI. Either something is amiss with your car, or he is modded, and not telling you about it.
I've never raced an NSX though personally, so I can't say if they are fast or slow. I do know that nitrous really helps them out though (They run low 12's with a 100 shot at 115+ mph).

That's 270 FLYwheel horsepower, not 270 REARwheel horsepower. Yes, I know they're factory underrated. Not by that much. The NSX motor is weak, and for a $90,000 car it's a goddam joke. It ought to be f***ing ashamed of itself.
Pffft. $90,000 for 270 hp.
