hey guys just of curiosity, whats the 1/4 mile time on a 91-96 nsx and 97 and up. would a 94 be able to beat an s2000?
1/4 mile time
- Thread starter c30vtec
- Start date
I know im not exact here, but most Nsx's had times in quarter mile of about 13.3-13.6 . Most S2000's I have heard about are in the mid 14's or so, possibly even low 14's.
I dont think the S2000 would give a Nsx much competition. It looks remotely close on paper but in the real world it would be a different story.

Here are typical times from magazine tests, plus or minus a tenth of a second:
'00-03 S2000 14.3
'91-94 5-speed 3.0-liter NSX Coupe 13.8
'97-05 6-speed 3.2-liter NSX-T 13.3
'97-01 6-speed 3.2-liter NSX Coupe 13.0
Magazine tests usually use bone stock cars and full fluids (e.g. full tank of gas). Actual runs can be better (due to mods, partially-empty gas tank, etc) or worse (driver skill).

I've had a s2k and drove a 94 NSX. The s2k would get trounced unless I reeved the s2k to about 7K and either dropped or burnt my clutch gently spinning the poor thing, and it would still lose. The s2k is pretty slow unless kept to a boil more than you might imagine.

Could not agree more with this statement. I had a few "run-in's" with S2000's on the street in my '93...it was never even close.......I have also run a few in my '02....even worse. If you get the launch on an S2....end of story. Just my .02
I have an 2003my S2000 with hell lotta mods incl. 4.57 final gears and the car runs in mid 13s. I have respect for the NSX and I am looking for one, but please stop making jokes about the S2000 and have a look at the latest VTEC club. The C-West or J's Racing s2000 kills ANY NSX on the track.
I don't know I would go as so far as to say any Nsx. You know we have modded Nsx's too, even very light ones that are killer at the track.
Anyway, S2000's are great cars with great owners just like the Nsx. Read around this forum a little and you will see that. Apologies if you felt offended about the S2000 comments.

Yes - I'm bumping this thread rather than creating a new one on the same topic.
If the time for a '97-05 6-speed 3.2-liter NSX-T is 13.3, what kind of impact would an intake and exhaust make on this car? The butt-dyno feels a difference, but I'm curious to know what that would equate to (roughly) on the 1/4.

well i would believe a 13.3 is under ideal conditions. if you browse the track section, most real world numbers for na2 with bolts are low 13's. there are less than a handful of guys that got their nsx's into the 12's in a unopened na engine. even though their are quit a few low 13 second na1's and a high 12 second na1 running around. i feel that once you start putting i/h/e into a na1 or a na2 t top, the difference is not that big. the lighter weight of the na1 with the bigger gains we get from bolt ons almost complete offsets the 6 speed and 20 hp advantage that a na2 has.
the best way to find out is to see what your car runs at the track.
I personally ran a 13.5 @ 103 mph in my essentially stock '92 if that gives you any idea... Perhaps its optimistic of me, but I'd like to be nearly touching the 12's after headers, exhaust, ECU, and HFCs.
like i said, i don't doubt a na1 can hit high 12's if your a really good driver in optimal conditions. my trap speeds indicate that with drag radials i would be touching high 12's as well.
13.5 is almost half a second faster than the "stock" numbers in the wiki. Weight reduction and lightweight wheels?
With a short gear tranny, I bet you can easily hit 12s.
What is it about people with 4-cylinder cars and/or 4-inches of car penis?
all these mods and you run mid 13's, just like a STOCK Nsx. even lightly modded nsx will end this talk and if you throw the same amount of money at one that you spent on your s2000 it would be a truly sad comparison.
Guys...
Great question, BUT NSX is not for 1/4mile....as it gets bored on the straight line...it need some curves)) That is much more interesting

)) That is much more interesting well i wouldn't say money because our mods cost a lot more than theirs. i would say mod for mod to be more accurate.
the s2k sucks imo.....jk lol. Actually when i had my 350z i though it would dust the s2k with the tremendous amount of extra power. At the track, my bro got the better launch and when the vtec hit is was over. I could never catch up. I think the s2k is a sick car. Handling on a s2k is insane for the price. Best track car for the cash i think. My bros used 01 was 13k or so otd.
Only weight reduction I have done is removed my spare. My wheels are definitely heavier than stock... heavy Volk AV3s. Only mod is a Cantrell AIS + Unifilter. Only made 3 passes and ran 3 consistent 13.5 @ 103s. Sort of annoyed a guy in a brand new 370Z when I holeshot him like crazy and ran a quicker time than him.
Left him behind by quite a few cars by the end of the strip... He was talking all sorts of crap about the NSX and 300ZXTTs that day too (It was at a major Z event here in the midwest). I got a list of excuses when we got back to the paddock too about why I beat him, hah.

Lets face it even with the mods its driver against driver and that could shave some time off

Thank you sir. Do you wanna trade: user name for your NSX? Hahaha...
