My first Track Experience

Yeah, I think an NSX with mods can probably do pretty well and I think yours is pretty heavily modified for track use if I'm correct.
A turbo NSX with 235/275 tires, coilovers, and about 450whp shouldn't have a problem with GT3s.
PHP:
Would you really need 450whp? A GT3 has a lot less than that.
But his car is a bone stock 91... Presumably w 205/245 tires on the original 15/16s.
The new 4.0 has 500bhp. The 3.8 has 435bhp-ish.
So you are saying a NSX with 450RWHP or BHP?
Could a 350 or 400whp beat a 3.6 or 3.8L GT3? Possibly. But I'd feel pretty confident with 450whp that the NSX wouldn't have much trouble with very many cars out there.
With the right brakes/suspension mods you can beat GT3s with a stock engine
Nice to see someone investing in themselves rather than the car, it is the way to go!

to set the record straight here.
this was a road car tracking training course for newbies.
I found that most vette owners didn't want to"hurt" their cars. Same for the majority of mustang owners. The guys driving audies, acuras and mazdas, were driving harder and more aggressively. The 360 owner was just out for a Sunday drive.
Alan Berg drove F1 the same time Senna did, and against Senna as well. A very methodical man. He never spoke without thinking first.
it was great fun and an education at the same time. It was a very tight small track, where cornering, and ability spoke volumes over power.
my wife and I were just out for a good time. Some of you take this way too seriously.

Lol...it is just the competative spirit in all of us.I realize we took a perfectly benign thread celebrating your joy of a track day and turned it into a nsx vs the world, but you'll see as you grow into the hobby your competative juices will also flow..its just human nature. Sorry for the OT diversion.
Not with equal drivers :tongue:With the right brakes/suspension mods you can beat GT3s with a stock engine

With a bad enough driver, an F1 car can be beat by a miata.
Well said Doc. Sorry OP for derailing your thread about your experience but discussion is part of the fun!
