NSX at the drag strip

[Periokid]

I have a video clip of Russ racing down the drag strip.

Considering his slipping clutch, he did quite well.

BTW, that is me in my SLK32 in the second race (look at the upper left corner of the video)

very good numbers just for intake.

 

[8000RPM]

I agree.

Those are very healthy trap speeds considering just an intake mod.

 

[8000RPM]

What kind of numbers did the AMG get?

I recall a Car&Driver test in which the SLK32 got to 150 mph faster than a C5 Vette...
