13.8 if you launch great. Otherwise, Low 14's. The gearing on the early NSX is terrible, second gear goes to 85mph or so. Also I can tell you no early NSX can hang with a C5 running right. I raced alot of them and I can barely beat them from a roll and my car put down 334 rwhp now. When my car was stock, I only put down 245 rwhp, so if I can barely stay ahead with 334 rwhp, forget it with 245 rwhp.
The NSX enjoyment is not straight line, but handling, cornering. Having had alot faster straight line car (420 rwhp, 420 ft lb torque supra), the NSX is by far the most enjoyable to drive. It does take a while to start appreciate the car. It took me 3 months before I start going damn, this car is fun.
