Default Anyone with any experince with an NSX?

There is a guy around here that has a really nice NSX, He CLAIMS. To be pushing 500 at the wheels. Its got a roots style blower on it. And as far as show quality, its pretty superb. The guy thinks he knows allot of stuff about cars, but from what I have gathered from other peoples opinion is that he is very lacking in that area... Don't really know though, cause I have only talked to him a couple of times Briefly.

I called him out, and asked if he would like to go from a dig, or even a 20 roll. But no dice, he only wants a roll from a 40+.. My car for a TH-400 Pulls pretty good given the setup I have.. But I don't think it would out pull that car at those speeds.

Any thoughts?

One way to find out. I'd be interested to see what the results would be. If there's no $$ on it or anything, than I'd just go give it a try.

Why not do races from a dig, 20, and 40?

^^^ I mentioned that.. But he was not going for it..

Yeah its just for bragging rights. No money involved. I may just give in, and roll it from a 40..

If he really does have 500 rwhp, I think it would be a good race. Those NSXs are pretty light.

But, I don't think he has 500 rwhp with just a roots type blower.

Have to wait for the guys who know about these cars. Is 500 rwhp realistic for a NSX with a blower? If it was a turbo setup, I could see 500 easy.

I think he's overestimating a bit. They aren't all that fast. What is it, the comptech supercharger or whatever it is? It's been a while.

Dude you will give him a prison style *** raping! Do his race and have no fear man. I ran one a while back that had N2O on it. I was NA and it wasn't even a thought man. You will win and it wont even be close.
