    NSX's are overpriced pieces of shit, without F/I, they are a joke - hence the reason for the "small turbo". I wouldn't race him unless I knew exactly what kind of boost he was pushing or what kind of power he was putting down, with a turbo anything is possible.

    Even a stock LS1 will walk an NSX, which is pathetic considering the F-Body was 1/3 the price brand new.

    I think NSX's were good for top end speed not Qtr mile but like the other post said anything is possible with a turbo! Will you be racing from a dig? What will you be racing to (speed or distance). Bottom line is, can you afford to loose 1K?

    If I'm not mistaken, a 93 NSX had a 3.0L in it with 278 hp. I think it did the quarter in about 14(ish) secs. I don't think the early ones could get in the 13's. Then again, I could be wrong.

    You right the NSX is overpriced but it is not a piece of shit. They are a very well made sports car that would run circles around you on a road track. They never made them a quarter mile car ,but I think the 93-94 models came with a 3.2L 290 hp and they ran low 13's.

    2000 Slp Firehawk #128

    My friends buddy has a 2000 nsx and I raced him from where he thought his car would be best from which was from about 40 mph to high speeds. I have a 2000 6spd 320 rwhp 335 rwtq firehawk. The acceleration didnt even compare in a straight line. I Was ahead by roughly 4 to 6 cars to say 140. He knows how to drive a stcik shift and even i thought it would be much closer than that. We did make a few runs from very low rolls and the car stays much closer to the ls1 car from say 10 to 60. I would also take my chances on a road course with a nsx even though i think it would be a much closer race.

    Well, honestly i think i would kick his ass considering the HP and TQ im making plus all the suspension mods i have... I know the NSX's are crap and im still waiting on what exactly he has in his car....And i am aware that the NSX was build more for high speeds then a 1/4 mile dig which we WILL be doing so i think i might do put the 1K down depending on what he has in his car.....

    94 Supra Turbo

    For $1000 dollars, I'd definitely think about it. When I was at the dragstrip at vegas I ran into two NSX's one with a small turbo and one with a larger one. The NSX with the small turbo threw down 550 something rwhp and the other with large turbo threw down 800 something rwhp. The NSX is a mid engine car, so most of the weight are on the rear wheels. If he is a good driver, he will be able to rip the quarter, so be careful. Roll ons with a turbo anything are wicked and an NSX with a turbo once VTEC hits is lethal.

    Expect him to get you on the launch. Mid engine cars usually have hard ass launches due to the fact there engines are right over there rear tires and it provides good downforce. Don't get nervouse and gun it and spin your tires. Control the Pow wa. And I think you'll catch him by 40-50mph
    Get him at top end , thats were us Ls1s shin.
    Practice your launches a shit load.
    $1000 grand is good money.
    Usually I hate when people post "what do you think races" But this is an exsepiton.
    Wish I could see the race!
    Report back after you woop his ass , preferably with a video.

    Oh! if he really is a kid he is probably a cocky and doesn't know his place in the car food chain.

    I've got a problem with a cocky kid in a nsx too, I think his engine is stock and mine is stock. I'm just looking for him.

    I'd be surprised if the NSX doesn't take this one handily. Even a small turbo on a NSX w/ supporting bolt ons should be darn fast. It's a light car, and as mentioned the mid engine will allow him to launch quite well, especially with drag radials. To top it off he could be making more power (even if not, he doesn't need as much power to be faster)...

    I would need to know rwhp numbers for him to make a better guess, and I would definitely love to see this race for fun or a $50ish bet, but there is no way in hell I'd lay $1k on the line in a race w/ a relatively unknown setup turbo NSX on drag radials. Especially if he's the one instigating the $1k bet... I'm sure it wouldn't be hard to him to gauge the approximate performance of your LS1 setup, on the other hand he could be packing anything from 350-550 rwhp. You really feel comfortable throwing down $1k with that range of uncertainty?
