I am sure the NSX handles nice, but there just not that fast.

I agree. NSX's are expensive and slow for what they should be. But if he had a bottle I bet it would have been a different story.
Good Kill.

gotta remember in 1992, 270hp and 6spd was quite a deal, hell, I think that was better than what corvette had to offer, there was nothing that much from ford or dodge, about the only real competition would have been possibly the 300zxTT, and maybe the Supra Turbo and rx7TT. It is dated though, they need to bring it back with 100 more horses, and it should be fine again

3.0 V6 270 bhp @ 7100 rpm, 210 lb-ft @ 5300 rpm.
Performance: 0-60 in 5.7 seconds, 1/4 mile in 14.0 seconds NSX INFO 92 ZR-1: 375hp 370ft-lbs Curb Weight: 3400lbs (corvette) 92 Z28: 5.7 TPI V8 245bhp 92 Viper 400hp 450ft-lbs (still cheeper than a NSX) 92 5.0 Mustang: Horsepower : 225 BHP @ 4200 RPM Torque : 300 Ft-Lb @ 3200 RPM ] 0-60: 6.2 quarter: 14.8 All these cars, even the ones with less HP have bucketloads more Torque, which is king for street racing and going fast at all. Torque gets you to speed, horsepower supports more speed, both are needed, torque will push you on the streets, HP is better for a track. Sorry riceboy, Domestics kicked the NSX's ass hard

i'll have to back up my boy on this... NSX isnt all that.
There is plenty of Domestic cars from 92 that would be much more worth it. Why would you pay 90k for a Honda that runs 14 in the quarter. OH WOW. When I could pay 52K for a Corvette Z06 that runs 12's in the quarter. OH YAY! Leaves me 38K to send it to Ligenfelter and make it TT. That calls for a HELLZ YEAH! Did you know, for the 12 years (91-02) the NSX was in production in the US, its Horsepower only increased from 270 to 290? Look at the Domestics, over the past 11 years they made a Huge improvement. Infact in 93, the LT1 hit 275hp... thats in 93. Look at the 02 LS1 320hp. And its like 60k cheaper. Look at Mustangs... with options of 390hp from the Factory. Im sorry but the NSX may have F1 technology and Vtec... but as for a performance bargain domestics have it beat... hell even some new imports are creepin on its territory. Oh yeah, Good kill.

 it's just plain stupid to drag race with an NSX. It's a waste of a beautiful and expensive piece of machinery. The NSX is a track car, plain and simple. Just like pretty much every other Japanese sports car. They arne't made for drag racing, they're made for the track.

and yet so many people brag of how fast hondas are, how they are king of the streets, forgetting to tell the story of how a beat up 30 year old truck smoked them. This is my point, domestics are GENERALLY set up for strait line power, a civic is NO MATCH, nor is an accord, or Accura etc, yes you can mod them, the domestics can be moded too. Handling is where they excell, so brag about that, and there will be peace for once in the great universe of racing!
Yes...good kill bty

Did you know NSXs are handmade? No, they're not the fastest things on the road, and they weren't even back in 1990 when they were introduced, but they are exotic. And, all things considered, they are cheap for and exotic, handmade car.
If the idea of a handmade car doesn't appeal to you, you're probably not the person Honda expected to buy an NSX in the first place...  And they're not so hot for the drag racing... :o |

There is no doubt that the NSX isn't a track car. I'm thinking of getting one. Not for raw speed - there are better cars for that, but what an awsome feel to that car!

Another simple race story turned into a fucking "Honda sucks" campaign by a fucking Ford prick!!! Look: OF COURSE THEY ARE GONNA BRAG ABOUT HOW FAST THEIR HONDAS ARE IN THIS FORUM...THIS IS WHAT THIS FUCKING FORUM IS ALL ABOUT!!!!! Now GO BACK TO THE FORD FORUM AND TALK ALL THE SHIT YOU WANT ABOUT HONDAS, OKAY? BYE. PS: for all of you who have been paying attention, I have been trying to push this same, fucking point, albeit more diplomatically, into their(TV and SVT's) heads for some time now. SVT isn't in this one, and for that I'm glad. Even Redneck saying something about the NSX is okay, since he only states facts, but TV is just being an intolerant asshole as he always has been. It's like a racist Nazi talking shit inside the Apollo Theatre. What a moron.
