Good points s14_tat. Thanks for the kind words Kool-Aid. Haven't hit a Coyote in 4 years!!! :smile:

Where I was coming from on my statements was that the professional driver drove my NSX with brand new Kumho 710s around the track. Then drove his V-8 Camaro around the same track immediately after. His Camaro had cord showing on its tires. His Camaro is race prepared only in the sense that it...

2004 NSX for sale. Silver/silver with 28,500 miles. All stock except for Dali fake third brake light mount for Valentine One radar. Takes 5 minutes to remove if you don't want it. NSX car cover and new OEM floor mats included with purchase. I used the floor mats in car shows etc. Windows are...

First, thanks H-carWizKid for the kind words. Second, my post is based on my personal experience and advice from my instructor and friend Michael Pettiford who has given me instruction to get my national SCCA racing license. He has raced V-6 Camaros, V-8 Camaros extensively for many years and...

Absolutely, and the NSX he drove was an NSX in name only. It was INCREDIBLY modified with a bottomless budget behind him. He could have been in an AMC Pacer and done as well as he did with that budget and those mods. No, the Camaro suspensions are not totally replaced, because the SCCA won't...

I agree with Vancehu. It depends on the car. Front vs mid-engine really makes no difference. In SCCA club racing people win races and championships with front engined cars all the time. The mid-engine cars rarely do well on road courses. A friend of mine, Michael Pettiford has won many races and...

I don't understand why Acura or Lexus doesn't consider a tiered approach to their next sports car. Mercedes offers multiple models of the SL. Porsche offers many different 911s, and even Nissan appears to be offering 2 models (eventually) of the GT-R. The NSX even had a couple of variants. It...

Absolutely. Remember when MB and BMW were the "ONLY" luxury sedans to have?? Lexus has certainly established itself as a luxury marque in the US and is very competitive with those two here. I think the painful pill for us to swallow is that Lexus has done a much better job than Acura at having...

Everybody on here touts Honda reliability as a huge factor when comparing the NSX to Ferrari. What about Toyota reliability vs. Ferrari?? There are many NSXs on here that have 200-300K miles. How many Ferraris have that kind of reliability and durability? The LF-A is going to be an amazing car...

True. But what happens if the R8 was modded?? You could put a JATO (Jet Assisted Take Off) unit on an NSX and it would beat most anything. Or, why not a Z-06 engine in it?? It's tiring hearing of how one could mod the NSX to beat newer better cars. Why doesn't Honda "mod" it to make it...

OK, Chuck. I'm coming down to ABQ and let's go get a good deal on 2 R8s!!! Just kidding, but I agree with your post completely. Next thing you hear, they'll be targeting the Pontiac Solstice with the new S2000. :smile:

Love the icons Steve!!! Great job. I hope I can make it up this year. It was sure fun the last time I was there. Maybe all the NSXers can have dinner Sat. night all together or something. I think I'm probably the last normally aspirated NSX around the area, so I can put my car on the back row...

Saturn has come out with some nice styling on their entry level cars lately!!!! What?? That's the next NSX?? Hell, the Sky looks better than that. Could be the resurrection of the Opel GT as well. Sad to see something like that. Hope Acura can turn around its styling dept. Someone said on here...

Absolutely. Was at the Denver auto show yesterday and saw the R8 again. It is very nice looking. My money's going to the LF-A or the R8 V-10.
