It's all about driver and low weight, sticky tires and stiff suspensions make cars fast on track. Just take a look at spec miatas 120whp and they turn laps at our local track PIR (portland International raceway) almost as fast as race 350Zs and Evos with a ton more HP. 1:30ish for the miatas and 1:27-1:29 for the evos, 350zs etc. But, in this case it is obviously the driver and the setup of the NSX is a complete unknown.

Rev It Up is an event that is designed by AMCI (Automotive Marketing Consultants Incorporated). Car manufacturers buy the events from the company and we put on the show for them. It was previously purchased by Mazda in 2003-2004, and then GM bought it for 2006-2007. Im one of the pro drivers in the event...so im glad you liked it!

Care to share your real name? I'm curious. You could PM me if you wanted.

at my first track day with the local lotus club, my friend had a lotus and invited me to go....so i was there with my then miata, completely stock, a guy walks up to me..his name was george, "want to go a lap with me?"

we take off, in a 1994 miata with intake and exaust and suspension and roll bar...his is a large guy, so there are two of us in this 1.6 lt, maybe 120 hp miata...we passed every car on the track....every porsche, lotus, corvette, etc...twice...he was an animal and very very smooth...yes it is the driver, i learned that lesson. if i did not experience it i would not have believed it.
