Just got an oil and spark plug change and was headed to lunch with my friend. He invited one of his buddies to come along who was in possesion of a 97 NSX. NSX had after market exhaust and some Volks. On the way to lunch we ran on the highway from 75-120. I plulled about 1 1/2 - 2 car lenghts on him before breaking for traffic. Very nice car. I feel as though I should have pulled more, but overall I was pleased with the S.

 

wow nsxs are really quick for the mods you did to your car.

 

A stock NSX is generally quicker than a boosted S2k?

 

Yeah I know thats kinda wierd. They are probably only putting down about 260whp max and a stock sc would make around 280whp at least. Plus there is a 400 pound weight difference between the two cars. I don't see why you shouldn't have walked him....O.o

 

power to weight isnt everything, especially on the highway.

come on guys, you know this.

 

Yes, to a certain extent. You have to also take into consideration the power band of the nsx because I'm pretty sure it is way better then a s/c s2000. But the weight difference and whp difference (20+) is so great that the power band wouldn't help THAT much. For instance, I have 408 whp and 270torque and I raced my friend's 300zx tt with 400whp and 380 torque...those things are freeway MONSTERS because of the beautiful long gears and amazing powerbands. I beat him pretty badly, so why should this case be any different?

 

Forgot to mention that I was in 4th gear which was not really where I wanted to be, but the whole thing came about kind of fast. Top was also down, though I doubt that made a huge differnce.

 

only makes a difference at high mph..which is probably the case since you were in 4th gear...100+?

 

Wrong gear, top down.

You left 2-3 car lengths out with that combo.

Still the NSX is just damn sexaaaay!

 

I couldn't really put the top up since i was on the highway, but starting at about 70 I should have been in 3rd not 4th. Either way I was happy to finally run the S against a worthy car (and win).
