There's really no sense in quoting numbers on the dynojet until you put the car on a dynojet. It's as simple as that.
I sincerely doubt many NA NSXs could keep up with MR2 2NR though. If you folks have one in mind, set up a race!
BTW, I tuned the MR2 that they are getting said "conversion factor" from. I still have my doubts on the number differences, but nothing was changed (even weather or altitude) from one dyno to the next. The runs were made 1 day apart. I scratched my head after the dynojet pulls, but the customer (and just about every other customer as well) wanted the dynojet number.
*shrug* What really matters is how well the car accelerates, and the 1/4 mile is a great way to demonstrate that capability. I could care less about what horsepower number it takes to get one there, as long as they can run the number consistently.
I know of 2 local 500+rwhp cars that can't even break into the 11s due to traction problems even though they trap above 120mph. That's not very impressive, is it?
thanks noshoes,
sorry if i pissed anyone off about the dynojet #'s. If there is a NSX that is willing to race me, lets go. But on the other hand i was wondering who "thegentleart" is, PM me to tell me who you are
