Is it possible I blew off an NSX? Or was he not really trying? Opinions?

Default Sure, if he was a pre-six-speed model (or a lousy driver in a six-speed model ;-)

Before '97 they were five-speeds. Here's a link to performance data for 'em.<ul><li><a href="http://www.autosite.com/new/grabbag/perform/2580.asp">Autosite performance data compilation for NSX</a></li></ul>

Anything is possible...but ask yourself if it's likely

If he didn't launch correctly, it's quite feasible that you could have killed him, Mike

Default I saw 3 early 90s NSXs at the track friday with exhausts and intakes. Fastest run I saw any of them

make was a 13.9 @ 101 I think. One was painted yellow and had some nice wheels. Really good looking.

those things range from mid 14's to low 13's depending on year.

Default Yeah......I know. I was laughing at one of the guys because he didn't want to run

against me. I guess he figured I was too slow and wanted to run one of his buddies instead. Good thing for him though. He would have hated to see my make that 13.1 pass on him.
