Seriously, how can you not love this car?

^ I think I told you the story... at VIR I passed the "chumptech" NSX at a rapid rate of speed. He came over in the pits and asked how much horsepower I had. I told him a bit over 380... he was confused and said that he also had 380ish. I told him mine was to the wheels... he said "oh" and walked away.

That was not specified.


This thread had really made me want an NSX. When I win the lottery...

That was the driver, not the car. If you watched the video Dave posted several pages back you'd admit that you would have absolutely NOTHING for Ayrton Senna in that extremely underpowered car on tiny street tires. I was quite amazed the entire time.

So how did he come up with his 380 crank HP? Something tells me he made up a number that he thought he should have.

He told me he had about 380 crank from the supercharger/exhaust etc work from Comptech. This was a few years back when I had bolt-ons and a tune.

Stock NSX = 280 hp
Supercharged NSX = 380hp

Wow...what a waste.

So in other words, he probably had no idea what he was making.
