Lit up a new Corvette today at lunch

Cruising up 95N in Baltimore today at lunch and saw a dude in a new POS trying to race me. I look over and laugh as I am in my NSX, a few seconds later he puts up 3 fingers and starts counting down. When he dropped the last finger, all he saw was the ass end of my car. I think everyone is right about the new POS's being slower than advertised, I got him by 10 lengths before I slowed down.

Aw wish we had a video of that, hehehe. I love the NSX, sexy body curves on those cars. Was it a brand new POS (the ones that I think seem to mimick the viper to some extent on the lights and body work?) or an older one?

Hell no, a stock NSX would get smoked. However, I didn't use the nitrous only engine and turbo... :mrgreen:

it was on street tires and it spun past 70MPH. I can dig out the timeslip and post it.

The problem with slicks is that I am afraid to blow the tranny and axles. I am going to get cryo'd axles and internal tranny parts in the spring. I just spent a ton on the car plus bought a Ducati 996 a few weeks ago, so I have to let my wife stop yelling first. :P

I haven't run it with my new turbo kit yet. I am going Saturday to Turbotrix in New Jersey to get the car tuned better. I am going to track it next Saturday. I think the MPH is a little low due to tire spin. I am probably going to kick the NOS down to a 75 or 100 shot to save the tranny.
