Dayumnnn our cars are quiccccck (no I didn't win, but read on).

For those of your familiar with route 22 in NJ, you know its not very crowded at night and there are 2-3 lanes and a bunch of traffic lights...

I am just crusing with my boy system up tvs on chilin when a nice red NSX pulls up next to me. It wasn't the very current model since it still had the flip up headlights but this thing was tight. The driver seemed chill gave a smile and all, he was a youngish guy. So he gets in front of me (were doin about 60) and guns it and as soon as he floors it I follow and he really wasn't putting any additional distance on me. Anyways here is where it gets fun. We see the light turning yellow and although we both coulda gone through, we hammer our brakes......red light....
G35 Coupe (auto) in the left lane, NSX in the right lane...
Light turns green and we take off...
I take him at the launch and throughout first gear I have about half a car lenght on him, here comes the trouble....2nd gear....he rips it past me and by the time we hit around 60-65 he managed to put a car lenght on me. He extended that to like 1.5 car lenghts by the time we hit 80, but then from 80 to around 115 he could not put any more distance on me! Although it sucks to lose....I really thought he was going to SMOKE me. I brake tourqed a bit at launch (like 2000rpm) and he was revving (his car was manual). One hell of a race and the guy was chill too, gave the thumbs up and all. My buddy in the car (big honda/acura fan) was like holy [censored] I have new respect for this car.
Time to start performance modding...too bad my audio equip ways like 100 pounds lol.

 

Good run.... I also notice that power breaking in my G and the autos gets off the line so much quicker than a manual car.. I raced a eclipse gsx turbo with his AWD I manage to put 3/4 of a car length on him and he caught up quick but as soon as 4th came around our head to head race I started pulling away to abotu a car until we shut it down. These cars can do some damage and keep up wit some fast cars... Martin

Fo realz jo~!?

 

yeah the powerbraking launch in this car is so instant. There is no bogging or winding out particularly with VDC off. That's what I like about the torque in our cars.

... but if you had been driving a 6MT you would have smoked the NSX by like 4 car-lengths... j/k I just couldn't resist.

Yea the nsx engines don't make much torque. But once they get up there and hit Vtec, good bye

 

About hitting vtech......my buddy whos the honda/acura nut said he probably hit vtech at the end of 1st gear which is why he got a nice pull on me from there. After this race, I would never in my life buy an Acura NSX...for the price there are so many cars that would rip it. I know the handling is amazing, but the Lotus Elise....quicker, better handling, and an exotic as well.

 

Everytime I see a brand new NSX on the road, I wonder what type of person spends $90k on a Honda with a 3L NA V6 built off a decade old chasis.

 

I would... I think the NSX's look absolutly amazing, even the older ones.

 

Hahahaha my 6MT sleeps next a NSX in the garage everynight, my roomate has a black 91 in great condition. That year the specs for the engine are at 270 hp, 240 tq. The 91's came only in a 5speed and no power steering. The car sound's awesome when you punch it, with the engine in back and all. They are a lot less heavy then our pig of a G but its a close race, we haven't really put them head to head yet, so I couldn't say, but I do know is that the car goes where you point it. He scares the [censored] out of me going through the bends, the is solid as if growing roots into the road, no signs of over/understeer. They got one thing right when puting that car together.

 

Cool my friend has a red NSX too.It's a nice car I like it a lot it's a PIMP's car.

LOL

 

My '00 NSX shares a garage with my G35c.

Heres a photo I took while washing the 'X. There are quite a few NSX/G35 owners who post on NSXprime.com. Everyone over there speaks very highly of the G35.
