Destroyed, humilated, killed, smoked, crapped on...
a NSX at the track this past Friday. All this was only possible because the guy was cocky as shit and couldn't drive worth anything. He had a Type R tranny in there w/ drag radials on his car w/ 'stuff' done to it. I'm sure that I could have taken him otherwise, but not by this much of a margin!
I have a video of his race w/ me. He ended up running a 13.5 and I hit a 12.7. Even w/ drag radials, his 60' times were higher than mine were on street tires. Mine were all in the 2.04 - 2.09 range, while he was at 2.1-2.2 w/ his drags.
After I called him over and told him, "Hey, you need to feather that clutch and also what RPM are you dropping at?", I got the response, "Dude, I own a shop, I know what I'm doing. I'm launching at 5500-6000RPM." Cocky SOB! These are the types of people who put a nice car like that to shame, even though I'm not a fan of the NSX.
