Thanks. And yes. I heard about the TT kits out for the NSX. I think the ones that are coming out of Factor X in Vegas are capable of pushing it to 700 hp. I don't know if I want all that. I'm still enjoying the car in stock form and just passed 4500 miles.

Already been a vid of his cars performance vrs me a month or so ago...
The first race I didnt hear him beep and didnt even try.
the second race I was pulling him by a car and then missed third..
The third race We ran side by side from 50-110 mph were I redlined third gear and figured 110 was good enough.
The fourth run we were dead even from 50-110 and when i hit 110 mph (4th gear) I pulled him by 1-2 cars and shut down at aound 140 mph..
Ill look for the vids. But in the mean time do a search on Snake vrs bird THE TRUTH..You'll see were we are side by side and then I pull..
He's around 460 rwhp SAE and 455 rwt SAE and weighs around 3550 pounds with the heavier 408 engine.
*NOTE* he had a 180 pound passanger in his car when we raced..So really the races would have been dead even.

Sorry I forgot that those races were when I was 428 rwhp before my roller rockers. So I think you to will be a very CLOSE race..Actually all 3 of us would make one of the better videos out their.

OK...The first vid I dint hear the beeps. The second vid Im not really sure what the hell is going on..lOOKS LIKE WERE SIDE BY SIDE AND THEN He eighter pulls meor I pull him ( Im pretty sure this is the one were I redline third at 110 and get out of it though...
The third vid is the best and you can see us pretty much side by side till i hit forth and then put on a car or two.
Good runs and I was pretty proud of my snake for only having 428 rwhp/473 rwt at the time. Then again only 3380 pounds acording to my registration will do that LOL

well hey at least your giving me credit,lol..i sure hope i pull him and i hope i pull him hard..
hes probably like a lot of these guys ive seen on here who just hate "rice" as they put it..and think even a 7sec,8,or 9 sec japanese car is a POS..
so what color you going with?cant wait to see it
well his buddy with the silver GTO (plate ls2 something) anyways he was talking to my cobra buddy and my buddy told him that my car isnt what all his friends think and that on the freeway it will be pure ownage for his GTO cus he thought he could take me with his GTO...but he didnt know anything about it.

ok nice..something simple.
i finally got my POS flat black painted,lol..not sure if you seen it.had some issues a couple times
frist time the clear was perfect but the layers of gold wasnt..so i resanding and we reshot it.then the paint was perfect but the clear i got the second time wasnt the best..so now i have to do a small sanding job and reshoot with the good dupont 7900 clearcoat.looks good tho..just minor clear coat touching up and be nice.
yeah i hope he learns the hard way.id really like to get him.and if i do its definatly getting posted on here,if not im sure he will post it if he wins..should be good tho..if i win then great,but i know i will keep up with him and thats good enough for me..have him at least know what the car is capable of.
