it's happened before...

About 5 or 6 years ago, I had a B16 powered CRX and was attending a NSX track day. Well, I signed up for the event in the advanced group (had plenty of track time, plus the car was on victoracers)...

I got an email back something like:
"You may want to go down to a slower group, unless you want to get lapped a lot."

Needless to say, I stayed in the advanced group and made sure I passed the organizer of the event (and person who sent me the email), with a friendly wave to boot. I even got it on video, but lost the video years ago.

Granted, this isn't the norm, but, sometimes, NSX guys have egos that are more impressive than their cars.

Insult to injury, I even won a litening jack at their event too.

 

In the vid the Nsx type-s posted a 2' 35" 44 fastest lap, the RX-7 Type RS did a 2' 35" 81 and the GTR V-spec did a 2' 39" 56.....so in caption the 10 year old NSX was a decent car for 1999 and was beaten by a new civic Type-R...

 

As already stated they are different generations and in 91 the NSX was a great car. It still is a great car, but not going to hang with today's supercars. Glad you had fun with it.

 

Ditto on the comments regarding appreciating the NSX beyond just performance. I look at cars in the context of their time and gain greater respect for many of them. I thought this quote from Gordon Murray, designer of the McLaren F1 was interesting.

"...we were able to visit with Ayrton Senna (the late F1 Champion) and Honda's Tochigi Research Center. The visit related to the fact that at the time, McLaren's F1 Grand Prix cars were using Honda engines. Although it's true I had thought it would have been better to put a larger engine, the moment I drove the Honda NSX, all the benchmark cars—Ferrari, Porsche, Lamborghini—I had been using as references in the development of my car vanished from my mind. Of course the car we would create, the McLaren F1, needed to be faster than the NSX, but the NSX's ride quality and handling would become our new design target."
