NSX pushes 280hp stock, i dont know if he has any mods or not, but he is an older guy (50s) so probably not. RWD drivetrain losses are something like 18% right? so hes probably got somewhere near 230 at the wheels.

I dont know what he weighs, but im sure its a lot less than me being that he has an aluminum body.

AWD helps in the launch, hurts weight.

So, if you look at it on paper, its a pretty good race. If we were on a road track or something, he would have destroyed me.
Whoa... he said he absolutely killed a 350z on the way home... now, those cars put out 287(supposedly) at the crank... a/b 230 to the wheels, via: http://www.turbomagazine.com/tech/04...edelbrock350z/

Now, if u say that NSX was able to take him, but the 350 wasn't... what's the deal there?... anyone know specifics on that NSX weight... any mods on it???
