My Car Ran Neck And Neck With An Acura,,

... this was on a highway merge, he romped on it, so i romped on it, and reeled him in, then we proceeded to line up next to eachother and go at it again from about a 55 kick.. i couldn't believe i pulled on him, me and my buddy had a pretty good laugh, still rather have an nsx than my T5 any day of the week, the car screamed sex. but just looking at the specs on the 3.0 liter, 250 hp and 3200 lbs is indeed beatable in our cars, (modified of course)

You sure it wasn't an RSX Type-S?

your kidding, Did you all not see my dyno sheet. Over 260 at the wheels from 2k to 6k. When I race any type-S, I never even think they are racing until they say "wow man" at the next street light.

this was a low little sports car, it did look mid to late 90's

ok i hate when people do this to me,  but i really dont think this happen or that he was full thotle

yeah i didnt think so either, but i could see the fuel coming out of his exhaust... and like i said, i shut down at about 95, you gradually merge at 95 ? this wasn't like instant car lengths it was pretty close, but it did none the less happen, unless he was just egging me on, but once i looked at the specifics on those cars i really think its possible.

I've driven a few 3.2l 6 speed NSXs. They could poo on any Volvo I've ever been in even if they were in the wrong gear. They run high 12s at 110 with a good driver.

It might have been a 3.0l auto? They would be slow at those speeds if he didn't kick into the right gear. They only ran low 14s in the low 100s.

what im thinking chuck.. or he was just screwing with me, honest to say i dont really know, i'd like to think i could pull on one, but honestly i still have my doubts, even the 3.0 liter, it is possible just how often do you get the chance to find out :-P

as for the NSX, if it was the 250hp version I have no problem bench racing and saying that a fairly close run from 30-100 is possible. low 100 trap vs low 100 trap. why is that so hard to believe.

but, man do i love the NSX. one of the coolest cars to ever hit the road, and at the time, totally revolutionary. me want.

thank you, not hard to believe at all. Now just and on a 5-speed, an extremely good driver and not fear.

I disagree with the NSX but I am not a sportcar fan. To flashy for me.

this was not a Honda, it clearly said ACURA on the back. I just thought you might find the story interesting. Maybe he was toying with me or maybe my 5 speed 99 S70 runs better then you think. 1/8 may not be low 13,s because of the start but 30-100 mph, bring it on. Just like when I pulled on a GTO, Why in heavens name would I make up such stuff. I have my dream audi, my dream volvo and I am marrying a super model in june, do I really have something to prove.

note: I will post a slip or at least a video of my car getting to 100mph. I will only need about 13  seconds of footage.

i can believe your story about the gto, those things from what i remember driven correctly ran 14.0 and that was a magazine driver, a regular joe im pretty sure couldnt pull that if he was an average driver.

on stock chip and a 15G I made 262 WHP :P so don't be so proud of your "over 260 whp from 2-6K" btw... 260 WHP at 2K would be rather impressive ;)

Anyways, I have on video me running a stock NSX, this guy has pretty much redone the whole car so she's brand new, we did it for fun, a 45 - 70 punch, and guess what... he crept away, then I came back on him and we stayed even, not that impressive, nice guy though and we chilled all night.

i gotta call you on this a little doug. expos still has stock internals. and he's running a 19t with the other basic bolt ons. Johann's 850, with the 19t and every known goodie got ~280whp with serious remapping by RICA.

260whp for what he's got ain't bad. could squeeze out maybe 20 more, but that's about it. Chris is a different story.
