Default Nsxpo 2009

Is anyone from Tennessee going to NSXPO next month? I'm making the trip with a buddy from Raleigh. I've never been to Canada so this seemed like a good time to go. Anyone???

James

I don't know Berry's screen name here as he does not post a whole lot, but I can get it if you'd like? He drives a bone stock black 94.

The plan is to shoot up early Thursday and arrive hopefully around 9pm. Heading back down on Sunday after breakfast. No track time this go around.

Thanks for the offer but I don't think we will make it that far in time. I'll have to play around with my map to figure this one out.

If you are going to be on or near I-40 in Winston Salem, give me a shout. I live 2 miles off the highway. I'll throw some burgers on the grill or something.



PS. Who is in the passenger seat?

That would be Berry the "DaXman" in Raleigh.

FYI, I am driving up to Culpepper, VA Wednesday night. My brother and I then plan to depart his place in Culpepper early A.M. on Thursday for Toronto.

Look forward to seeing you both in Toronto.

I,m driving up Thursday from MD, but plan to Trailer the car. I would probably slow you all down. But then again isn't the NSX an old, slow car anyway.

Only the black ones are slow...red are fast...very fast! Glad you're going. This should be lots of fun. I love road trips. Drove the NSX up to Pittsburgh a couple of weekends ago. Great drive!

no no - green is what they paint the slow cars because their owners are envious of the fast red ones.

Well ... I have to say the really fast ones get custom paint!

,

Black in a white trailer, behind a rust colored pickup, is by far the fastest of them all.

You all are wrong the Yellow is the fastest it also creates the most problems and causes the most looks. I drive all the different colors on a regular basis and I get more looks in yellow than any other color, for this reason I think the yellow must look faster..... now saying that If the car is very low and I mean low and has a Cherry Coke color that might be as fast and even faster if it has a S2 dash!! but if the check engine light is on that negates everything. The Yellow will remain faster.

So is what you are saying is that the yellow paint is lighter, so the car is faster, and that John's and my black paint is heaver, and there for our cars are slower. That just seems like crazy talk.

Steve,

Got ya! For some reason your description of "Cherry Coke, S2 Dash and Check light on fits my car perfectly! So if the Check Eng light is gone ... (Crank Position Sensor) then does that make my car fast! LOL

Still deciding when the best time to replace the CPS is going to. It sucks that I just did the TB/WP ... 4000 miles later I have to remove it all again to replace the CPS! DANG IT!
