Numbers please. 0-60 will do or 60-120 mph.

Like many I've been waiting for someone to crack the ecu. I have the JB4 with downpipes and compared the dyno figures of SOS new KFlash to what my car dyno'd with the JB4 and downpipes. Looks like a 50-60 lbs fti increase in Torque from with the KFlash compared to my MAP2 JB4 (93 Oct)...

Top Tier! Costco, Shell and Standard all use ethanol as an additive in 5-10% of their blends. The blend changes based upon the time of the year and location for air quality. It would be very cool (pun) to be able to run E85 to cool the intake charge and unleash a bunch of power, but no one...

Fifteen years ago my buddies and I were getting into detailing our cars (Porsche's) and it became a competition. We located the supplier the pro detailers went to for their waxes, polishes and chemicals. We bought enough product that the owner invited us to detailing classes that Meguiars gave...

A Red Eye! I guess your entitled to your opinion at least for a while in this country. I've watch 750 HP Vetts melt after three laps at Willow Springs in the heat. Nobody looking at a NSX is going to cross shop a Fiat errr Dodge. Those are nice motors for a quarter mile but the rest of the car...

Would love to see more data on the NEW Pirelli spec tire. If it's 2 seconds faster than the Conti on '20/21 where does that put the Pirelli Trefeo which is the option tire on the '20/21. My guess is that the upgraded electric/ gearing has more to do with the performance than just tires...

Kim201, Great posts. Thanks for sharing. I have the JB4 but with the SOS down pipes and quite frankly the down pipes really don't add a lot if you look at my times compared to yours. I know different days yada, yada. The DA at Wildhorse Pass was 4400 and 106 degree night. I didn't do a launch...

There has been a lot of fine tuning of the S. It was interesting Acura revised the front drive ratio which was a 20% gear reduction. More grip on launch a bunch more torque. I got my call today from the dealer. They expect to have 3-4 cars based on their allocation. The want a $20K market...

This S upgrade is not a SHAM and is well thought out if you look at the clues. Acura will be true to its objective of precision. You will not see a fan boy GT2 wing on the NC1.You will not see 700 hp of the small prancing horses. You will get a bullet proof drive train with amazing performance...

Strong info on upgraded wheel tire package which suggests more power and upgraded suspension. I don't see weight reduction as too costly. Didn't know about alliance with GM. I don't think anyone buying a Vet thinks about an NSX. Jimmy aka sled driver

This is a post I made earlier today but for some reason it didn't make it to the thread! I spoke with two dealers today. Acura has 272 stores (give or take) in the USA. 300 cars and was told not all dealers will get one as it's based upon NSX sales for allocations. I'm number three at the...

Given the dyno figures with a JB4 they better do a lot better than 600HP as a jb4 is 551 at the wheels in program 2. It is torque that gets acceleration times and the slippery slope is the tire combo with Conti 6's is at max. So need at least 500 lb ft of torque and 640 hp to get in mid 10's...

So tired of hearing sales figures. Remember the Shelby Gt350 in 1965-66 couldn't give them away. Sold them to Hertz. Ford GT 2005-06 dealers discounted ugly Heritage edition. It had a blue oval badge. Maybe they should have removed it for a cleaner look (sic). Mercedes AMG SLS black series Now...

Tier rating is not new and has been around a long while. Most large companies or insurance groups have several companies within their group umbrella that facilitate the different tier (preferred, standard, non-standard). For example Farmers Insurance Exchange is a preferred company but within...
