Default Fast and Furious Moment (kind of long)

Well on my way home last night I hopped on the freeway and had to punch it to merge into traffic and I got up to 90mph. So I let off and as I look in my rearview for cops I notice two bright yellow foglights coming up fast on me and flashing his high beams, so I already know what's going to happen. 4 guys in a civic hatch pull up next to me on the left and start honking at me trying to get me to race and I just don't waste my time with Hondas so I just ignore him and about 10 seconds later a nice looking G35 comes flying up on the civic's left side trying to get a race started, but the civic still wants to race me. So just to tease them I punch it and got it up to 120mph and let off and both cars started chasing me. As I'm slowing back down I see a red NSX that I'm coming up on and now I want to race this guy, so now I'm trying to get the NSX to race. So we're going about 80 and he bites and punches it so I give chase and stop his pull and I just start pulling him in and pass him, by the time we hit 140 I had him by at least 4 car lenghts, although I think he may have let off about a second before I looked back. All this was going on while the G35 and civic were racing behind us. I thought NSX's were supposed to be fast? Anyway my exit was coming up so I roll down my window and gave him a thumbs up as he went by and as I'm getting off I see another 2 civics joining in with the other 3 cars so I know the fun went on without me.

Yeah for the most part an NSX is a drivers race with a stock LT1. But a 97 NSX-T will give a stock LS1 a run for it's money. But I doubt you'll see those around very often.

I love the way NSX's look. But they are kind of like a hot Trans sexual. It may appear appealing but once you get under the hood it's really nothing you want.

Underpowered? Sure... Slow? No way... They're fast, of course, definitely not in a straight line!

Ever seen what stock ones and mildly modded ones run on different circuits? They beat MANY cars with more power...

If you're buying one to go in a straight line, then they're very overpriced.

If you're buying one to autocross, SCCA, etc, then they're a BIT overpriced.

I do agree they are a bit overpriced either way.

If you're expecting to run a fast one on the street, good luck... Their owners, when they mod AT ALL, tend to leave the engine alone...

Though, there are a FEW that are modded to drag race around running very limited stroker/turbo/nitrous kits, but good luck running into one.

They're very fast on a tight road course... But still overpriced.
