vs NSX....i lose.

I agree. I'd say that the VR-4 would beat the Z stock for stock just by horsepower. If I'm correct on this, they're around the same weight, and the VR-4 has a good 40 horsepower over the Z.

Right, it has them on hp... but the first gen VR4's (w/o free boost mod) have only 300hp at crank... still a/b 20 above them... and with the AWD, u've definitely got them off the line

NSX's range from high 12 second cars to high 13 second cars depending on whos driving, year, and model.

350Z's range from very high 13 second cars to mid 14 seconds cars depending on the circumstances.

one factor to think about, there is alot more Automatic 350Z's sold than one would presume. the automatics run low-mid 14's depending on conditions and launch.

Acura's and Honda's win races because of gearing, looking at numbers is a minute aspect to how a car performs when put against another car. trust me, looking at NSX's numbers are nothing until you sit in one or drive one...that car is a highway monster!

BTW: you take that tach all the way to 7krpms you would have beat him...by shifting so early, you are taking yourself out of the game for the next gear.

The earlier nsx runs the 1320 in 14.0
The newer nsx (I belive 98-99) runs the 1320 in 13.4 sec.

Depends on what year nsx you were raceing.

even newer runs run high 12's...i had the priveledge to see one the last time i went to the track, completely stock...i think it wa a 2002 or so. he ran a 12.8. they are a bit underrated....

Well, Idk what they really run... but u gotta remember, with High-performance cars... something as simple as a CAI can add alot... I had a friend who managed to play around with a Skyline... they put a full CAI (underneath the fender well) and that gave the car a major boost as far as how quick it was able to use it's full power, and that boosted how long it would hold that power...
So even with say a CAI, or lightened flywheel, something like that will be able to get up and go (more so than before)
