NSX Trouble??

**1 RedHot TransAm** · 04-17-2008, 11:52 AM

Alright theres this young kid thats been ridin around in a red NSX that sounds like a fart (does not sound good IMO) I have been passing him going opposite directions of traffic almost daily I can tell he thinks hes tough shit he has reved at me a few times passing by and also shakes his head at me (Obviously has no repect for the LS1) its probably only a matter of time before we run into each other going the same direction and race i have herd mixed info about these cars I have herd they ar'nt that fast but also have herd they are pretty fast I have conifdence I could give him a run for his money is he anything to fear or not do I have a fighting chance in your guys's opinion??? a little feed back would be great!

I have a 1999 TransAm LS1 Motor Sports Lid W/K&N Air filter,SLP LM1 Catback Exaust and the optional 3.23 Gears on The A4 I have owned my car for over 4 years and am VERY comfortable driving I know my car very well

Most drivers in a NSX run mid 13s to low 14s, i have seen a couple slightly modded running 12s.

Man I would love to show this kid whose boss the thing that really got me was the shaking of the head at me like my car sucked or something LoL damn punk

Lol you will probably win

**Loudz28** · 04-17-2008, 02:48 PM

make sure you race from a dig though.

All I can tell you is my daughter used to own a NSX and I used to run circles around it in my '96 Corvette that was putting down 400 rwhp and a few suspension mods.

I don't see NSXs around that much-- And when I do, they usually aren't driven by young street racers.

But good luck-- I think our car has the advantage.

But I have always like the looks of the NSX (just too expensive for the performance you get)

I ran one a while back (it had exhaust, not sure of its other mods) when I had my 2000 audi S4 M6 (it only had exhaust, cai, tune, and a 50 shot: which I didn't use). I beat him by a car length from a dig - 100, dead even from a 30-120, and beat him by 3 -4 lengths from 70 - 160. It was real fast from a 70 roll-160, I used to beat my friends modded lt1 z by 7-8 lengths. My best ET's without spray were low 14's though, and I never got to run against an ls1 from a high roll.

Try to get him from a dig... with a good launch you'll murder 'em. From a 60+ roll its a drivers race

I've never seen an NSX driven around here before. There are a couple at a few dealerships, but they just sit. The people that do buy them, usually keep them as a garage queen. But, unless he is modded you should be the victor.

The newer ones I think are around 300bhp and the older ones are around 270 or so. They are more of a circuit car anyway. Unless he's FI you will have no problem. Race him from a dig though. Beat him and ask him if his v-tec is broken, then shake your head at him every time you see him.

You used to beat a lt1 car by 8 lengths and you only ran low 14s, so what it was a 14.6+ lt1 car? I have seen boen stock lt1s hit 13s

**KyleLs1** · 04-21-2008, 02:09 PM

It will be a good race but my money is on you!

**LGT Guru** · 04-21-2008, 02:16 PM

they have somewhere around 290hp and only 220 trq, but the kicker is they are only a 3000-3100lbs car. Most people i have seen run low 14s high 13s. I have raced 2, my ex's dad had 2 i raced one of those, the guy can drive he also has a z06. I put about 8 cars on it up to 110 and i ran high 12s in my T/A

**N20LT4** · 04-21-2008, 04:22 PM

Especially if it's an automatic NSX. Those are very very slow.

Yep, the auto engines were rated lower than the stick cars. What a ripoff!

i love those things and they are fast everywhere. it depends on the year on whether or not an ls1 can beat it. it's a light car with a powerful v6. with just a little work they are really fast. if he has a turbo kit, nitrous, or the supercharger i think they still sell, then you are honestly screwed. I beat a 97 nsx a couple months ago before my valve train. i only put a little over a car on him from a 45 to 100.

top end only... from 60 mph+ rolls.

From a dig... I lost against most rwd v8's

**LGT Guru** · 04-22-2008, 06:20 AM

Lol, S4s are AWD they would do great from a dig, should be low 5s high 4s 0-60 with those mods. And AWD hurts on roll races because you arent getting as much power to the ground. A lt1 is usally harder in a roll race, Strange thats all.

Strange now.... I was new to the M6 then. I would always pick up a good jump off the line, but would get pulled and passed through second without the juice. I usually had higher traps in the 1/4 though.

From a 60 roll, in 3rd that car was unstoppable it seemed. I rarely loss on the highway.

**LGT Guru** · 04-22-2008, 07:42 AM

3rd in most turbo cars pulls hard but not as hard as a v8 with rwd. With the lt1 a4 i have heard people say 3rd is a little weak and i have heard people say 3rd is there favorite gear. And everyone says a tune makes 3rd seem amazing, eitherway there is alot you can do with a S4 other than just speed
