Sounds like a good run. One of my friends in college had a VR-4 putting out over 400whp. That thing did 0-60 in the low 4s, but if he didn't watch it, he'd spin all fours. You can get boost started by quickly revving the engine and then lower the rpm to launch, but you won't get full boost until 2500 rpms or so. Those things are fast, but heavy. I think it's a good match up, because mid-engine cars are typically rear heavy, and the weight transfer can get like 70% of their weight on the rear wheels, which puts in for a great launch.

Are you kidding me?? I really hope that's a joke. Can I sue you when I try and run a video tape, drive the car and shift gears next time I race just so I could prove a point to you?? I'm not asking you to believe...in fact, it'd probably make an argument interesting if you honestly believed that tank could run with me.

F1S2000: I'm hardly "Not stock"...just some gears, exhaust, and light weight (although someone did dyno 12whp with just intake and the same exhaust i have...)

true on the mid engine but you have to master it if your going to hang with the AWD launches right. Not calling BS cause i have matched a few WRX launches, they still pulled me a bit but hardely as much as they should a RWD. but anyways it took me almost a perfect launch to match a AWD launch when they knew how to jump. I took a few guys but just figured they didn't know how to drive.

If you look at some of the numbers posted on this site, you will see a lot of fast times for the the VR-4 and some slower times near the bottom. Of course some of these are heavily modified.

http://www.team3s.com/FAQ-fastest.htm

I think the numbers below are from a magazine, which only kind of helps. These are stock NSX's. But you can see where this race definetly could have happened just as he said.

1991 Acura NSX 5.8 14.4
1992 Acura NSX 5.6 13.9
1993 Acura NSX 5.6 13.9
1994 Acura NSX 5.3 13.6
1996 Acura NSX 5.2 13.8
