Too bad it didn't place better...

 

Oh, and where do you get fixed headlights like that? Those look great--way better than the stock 2002's (blech!).

Someday when I own my 1997+ NSX (twenty years from now! ) I think it'd be great to get those. Very nice, clean look, and more modern than rotating headlights (and much better looking than the deployed rotating lamps!).

Neat car... Comptech did a good job--it seems like a car you could live with everyday (well, maybe).

 

It's
I'm not impressed by the numbers. Compteck does amazing things, I'm sue they can make it faster.....

$10,000 brake kit? LOL

 

DSMs own that in the 1/4

 

Those numbers are extremely low for a supercharged NSX. 6-speed NSX's are capable of high 12's/very low 13's bone stock. In fact, one of the drivers in Best Motoring ran a 12.4 with an NSX Type S-Zero. I don't know much about the supercharger kit for the NSX, but they do charge $10k for it, so I would expect that it brings the car into the high 11's. I believe a lot of the cars (except the Sonoma) in the Car and Driver 10,000HP Shootout got pretty crappy numbers.

 

So? I'm sure some do, but would you rather drive a DSM or an NSX?

 

 

DsM OwNZ 1/FoUr mIlE yO!

 

LOL! mY tHiRd GeAr VtEcK diDn'T KiCk iN y0!!

 

DSM. I can make an AWD Talon to beat the NSX on a circuit track and 1/4 track and still have enough left to s15 swap a 98 240 can you tell i like forced induction hehe... or an 85+ lotus esprit turbo instead of the 240... tough decision.. those cars are beautiful..

Big deal... At the end of the day he has an NSX and you have a Talon... Its just liek I can make a mustang beat a diablo in the quarter mile. So what? The other guy has a diablo at the end of the day and I have a mustang.

 

You guys do bring up a point, BUT a rice rocket slamming a exotic/supercar is priceless and always will make an audience "oooh and ahhhhhhh" over what a marvel that was to see. Oh and best yet is seeing a pissed off yuppy

 

its not easy to get a car into the 11's. they said the car goes from 0-60 in 4.5 seconds. thats pretty damn fast. 13 flat is pretty good. especailly since it was street legal, with street tires.

 

yeah but at the end of the day i have a lotus esprit turbo as well. i can pick up chicks just as well in that as i could with a NSX. not that we use our cars to pick up girls

 

I think I'd still rather be a pissed off yuppy

 

http://www.scienceofspeed.com carries it. I don't see it on his web page so you would have to e-mail Chris.

 

dont the stock nsx zero run high 12s over in japan?

 

I believe the NSX S-Zero and the type-R are both 12 second cars. Of course, in the US, the best we get is the Zanardi edition, which is good for low 13's.

That comptech NSX is disappointing. I would have expected it to be at least mid 12's. Some of those other cars in that article are flat-out sick though

 

lol ... I saw a DSM put the beat down on a Ferrari at the 1/4 mile. That yuppy looked like this:

 

1/4 isn t everything,put the Ferrari on a road course with the talon see what pulls the best lap times as thats where the Ferrari was born.As for the Comptech NSX pretty slow for whats done to it,i would take the Espirit(as seen on the Option Vids,and in the new Volkracing brochure....Yellow N'er) NSX street car over that one anyday ,i think Phase has a white street car one also with ITB's only has about 380 ps N/A of course but im sure on a track or street it would eat up that Comptech car.

 

Ever see a keonig twin turbo ferrari? Can you say kick @SS to any competitor; not to mention it can still hold its own on a road course; If a ferrari owner really wanted to put the beat on someone, he could; sure it will cost him a 25-50K engine upgrade; but if he/she has the funds to drop on 150000 car, then 50 for a upgrade isnt too bad, just like 5K for a upgrade on a 15K car isnt too bad.

If he is like many of us and got a 50-75K car, then there are other TT upgrades availbe that cost only 20-5K, and he would still be able to kick not ppl's @$$, but with a car that was 'cheap' (for a ferrari)

 

And if you still want faster times, get shorter gears..duh.

35K isnt bad for a 100-125K car.

 

straight up, you are officially a dumb ***.
