did it have factory wheels?
sounds like it might be rod (hotrod.)
 
doh

don't remember the wheels really, he was off my right side. Was a person of asian descent (that narrows it down! heh) late 20's early 30's.....real cool guy..... damn i wish I got more info!!!! I believe he had clear corners
 
Yea!

I would call it a tie! We ran twice, once out of a left hand turn, and once from a light. Out of the turn, my awesome handling mustang got kinda sideways ;) he got a car jump and held it into 4th gear for me ~120mph. Next we went from a light, and I got I believe what was a car length on him (couldn't really see exactly but his front was atleast behind my passenger side door) and just held that not really pulling I don't believe.... up untill I missed 4th around 105mph. the guy was really cool, I asked him about his car because I didn't really know much about NSX's....but my gawd they are beautiful and fast cars. :cool: Told me it was a '92 and when I asked if it was stock he kinda laughed and said noooooooooo it's supercharged. He asked what I had in my car and told him it was bone stock...just got it last friday night. Much respect for the NSX and it's drivers, cool cars with great drivers :p
 
Didn't realize how fast those cars are until I did a quick search on Google and found that they have 390 horsepower and 390 lb/ft of torque. No more 5 point slow. :)
 
wish i was there to view that race.

Driving fast on Tustin Ranch road.

Nuke X,

Yes that was me racing with you in Tustin. We were both fortunate to have stopped our antics when we did since that squad car was just curiously watching us at the El Camino intersection. I was very impressed by your Pony. It really ran strong off the line and I could here you chirping the rears on your 2nd, 3rd and fourth gears. I can not imagine how much fun you guys are going to have in that car seeing that was your first day of ownership. I also think that we ran quite even on both runs.
My 92 has a Comptech 6lb supercharger, Comptech Exhaust/Headers, Short gears, and 4.235 ring and pinion, Bilstein shocks all installed by Mark Basch of Phoenix. I had on my 17/18 show wheels . I was just testing some TCS repairs that I was trying to do at home. Good luck with the new Cobra.

Not to be an ass but as someone who lives in the area, has a wife and family that live in the area and cares abotu my neighbors, I have to speak up.

If you clowns want to race to 120mph, then be man enough to do it on the track and not on public roads. Your selfish and immature behaviour shouldn't be celebrated and in fact, should be prosecuted.

May God have mercy on your souls if your immature behaviour ever leads to pain or suffering on behalf of an innocent bystander.

Take it to the track.
 
Not to be an ass either, but please don't tryto put yourself, your wife or your kids in something you were miles away from.

"May God have mercy on your souls if your immature behaviour ever leads to pain or suffering on behalf of an innocent bystander."


I respect what you think about my behaviour, however, do not bring your/my faith into this. Why? Because there was no innocent bystander and making assumptions about what COULD have happened is quite immature in and of itself especially when you add that line about having mercy on my soul.

If my reference to God somehow offended you, then I apologize. My intent was not to suppress or influence your personal religous beliefs. My intent was to demonstrate the fact that in spite of your incredibly selfish and immature behaviour, I made my post with your safety and well being in mind.

Having said that, I still admonish your behaviour in the strongest terms and question your maturity. Feel free to ping away at me online but the facts are the facts.

You chose to race on public streets. As such, you chose to break the law. In addition, you made a conscious decision that your fun was more important than the safety of anyone else in the area or on the road.

Your comment that there were no innocent bystanders is pure horse crap. The gentleman you foolishly raced even points to a squad car being in the area. So you were not alone, despite your rediculous assumption. Either way, lets give you the benefit of the doubt and say that you might have been fortunate enough to not have anyone esle sharing the road. That doesn't mean that you didn't run the risk of blowing a tire, losing control and going through someone's back yard.

I live in work in the immediate vicinity of your childish antics. I grew up here in S. Orange County and have many family and friends that live here. So for you to tell me that I'm unreasonable to ask you to consider them is not only stupid, but frankly offensive.

Senna was killed in a car. Zanardi lost his legs. And those are just two quick examples of some of the greatest race drivers of our time that have links to the NSX. What makes you think you're a better driver than they are and you can somehow take those kinds of chances on public streets and come out smelling like roses. Yes, driving is a dangerous activity. That's why there's rules, laws, and required licensing. Selfish, immature, and egotistical persons arbitrarily decide that they're above that and put the rest of us in danger because of that.

Maybe you're lucky enough to not have lost someone you cared about in a car accident, drunk driving incident or the like. I'm not and I say so not to ask for your sympathy but in the hopes that nobody else has to live with the pain that I, and thousands like me, do because someone made bad decisions behind the wheel.
 
Amen to that. (sorry)

My best friend for most of my life was one of those bystanders that "weren't there." He was killed instantly from street racing...

ACCIDENTS DO HAPPEN. You don't mean for it to happen... you feel like you are in total control, but you are not. Don't feel like it won't happen to you.

Da Hapa,

I clearly undertand what you we're pointing out to our good friends here but with due respect to you sir, IMHO your reply in this thread is "uncalled for".
I believed that it is appropriate that you start your own thread with your own topic whatever issue you may have.

I've never street race and doesn't encourage it but it's wrong to "bashed out" people referring to them as "CLOWNS". You could have addressed your issue in a nice way.

You are correct that I could have, and probably should have, found a better way to get my point across rather than calling these two individuals clowns. Name calling is always bad and I wish I were a better man than that.

The problem is that I can't honestly find a better, more balanced and mature way to describe the behaviour of two adults travelling at least twice the posted speed limit on a public road than to call them clowns. A whole litany of less mature descriptions comes to mind.
