Rivercity Raceway 1/4 mile: Bone stock

[NSX ATX]

Had a great time today with Ojas and Umar at the track. I was pretty excited with some of the times I got so I had to post. (Ojas, Umar: sorry guys, haha I couldn't fight the urge to let it out)

'91 Berlina black/ 28,000miles
Mods: none, bone stock minus engine cover, spare & bracket
Driver weight : 205#s

13.64 @ 104

I have yoke es100 on the rear with about 35% tread left. With a little more weight reduction (tools and junk in the trunk/ workout and lose 50#, haha) and an even better launch I'm hoping to be in the lower half of the 13's with no bolt on aftermarket parts (DINNER ON UMAR~!haha) All in all we had great fun. I know, I know, our cars aren't built for just straight line speed, but at least this is better than full throttling to 100+ down the highway

rock-on!!!

hmmm, IT was a fun nite!
I was unable to drive (vertigo & med'z, out of commission for atleast a week)...

Ojas & Ron did gr8...! Ojas's H/E combo sounds unbelievable. Ron seems to have been dragster in a former life, pssst- just ask him about his 'past'

All i can say is this regarding 1/4's: nothing compares to American Muscle, brute force in terms of cubic-inches, AND obscene amounts of torque...

[on a tangent, man-o-man is it challenging to launch the NSX from 0']

I think our cars deserve a new drag race protocal,the half mile! That would probably suit our cars engine and gearing better and who knows those big cube domestics might run out of gas!

Looking at the 0-150 times of the NSX vs the "big cube" boys... I think this is a bad idea

let's try 0-160 !!!

Most of the "big cube" boys' gearing won't let them go as fast as we can (top speed) so let's pick a number we can do and they can't, then we win all the way around. Or let's just do a "beauty contest" they can't come close. Or, instead of the 1/4 mile, put in a turn and see if they can "stick" with us then!!!

Top speed: Big cube boys win
1/4 Mile: Big cube boys win
Stick in a turn: Big cube boys win
Beauty contest: We win

eh, it was fun watching those domestic torque monsters fly down the track with their front ends in the air, but I would definately say we were getting the looks, haha. Guess it's not everyday you see a couple nsx's at the 1/4 track.

Umar: hopefully you won't be popping too many of those pills next week and you can bring your car out. ~sigh... i just dropped mine off at Sterling today, hopefully I can get it back before next wednesday.

All I hear about in my town is 1/4 miles and mustangs. I hate it. I would love to see thier faces when a NSX does a low 13 and beats half their mustangs.... of course, all they would say is "a crobra is faster and a third the price... so you just cant win.

hehe, thas kinda funny cuz when i ran the 13.64, the guy on the opposite side was a new model mustang. Looked like it was a gt with that exterior package where the hood scoop and the trunk have black pieces rather than body matched colors. Both Umar and I thought it mite run some decently quick times, but by the 60 foot i was about .5 seconds ahead and ended up running over a full second faster than him (14.70). I thought those mustangs were supposed to hook up a lot better than our cars cuz of the whole alignment thing in the rear. shrug* nothin to brag about, but felt good pulling on him like that with all those people watching

my cheeks hurt...

hmmm, Ron & Ojas: my cheeks still hurt from the perpetual grinning after the outing...

We often take for granted the aesthetics and presence that our cars have, but when you see the adoration and respect that others give the NSX, a feeling of contentment permeates from within...!
