NSX...

The NSX is a MUCH better roll racer than trap. I have driven my friends 05 a few times (pretty hard too) and it is much better from a roll. It will do most of its damage on the twisties (the handling is insane!) and can easily be beaten by a "mildly" boosted car in a trap. Its VTEC pulls pretty strong (stronger than the S2k)..but they do have 2 more cylinders...lol. When he gets the comptech supercharger on it I will let you know how it feels.

I've been doin alot of daydreamin about nsx's lately. Maybe if I get rid of my cock shrinkin Corvette I could pick one up???
PS, someone told me NSX's gain hp as they get more miles on them.
Well, I found this interesting too! This is a 118K mile dyno on a 2000 6-speed WS6 (normally a 295-320whp car when "new)

NA1's(91-95)----13.7-14.1's@100-103
NA2(96-05)----12.7-13.3@107-113
the NA2's are very underrated, while the older NA1s are about as fast a stock s2k, but do respond to mods VERY well. I/H/E 35whp

I guess for what they payed and I payed I dont have to hang my head TOO! much if an NA2 beats me. Solid performance and great looks, I saw the red NSX again today. I think it is NA1 because once I talked to a guy in a red one and he said 91 or 92 IIRC. I doubt there are THAT! many NSX's rolling around here. I will say this, when he left the gas station that was the shittiest sounding car I have ever heard. I did not like it AT ALL! Basically it sounded like an M3 with no nuts (rattly) and weak.
I am not hating b/c "its gotta have 8 cyl to sound good". Thats BS. I like how the S and teh 350Z sound, even heard a Z last night that impressed me with it's tone. This NSX just sounded like shit to me and it was in good shape so I must assume NSX's (AP1's at least) just sound like crap. I was very unimpressed. HOWEVER! It did LOOK like sex
