I drag raced my NSX two weeks ago. I got SEVERE wheel hop off the line (the suspension is a very stiff RM Racing 1.5 inch drop) and ran 14.1 at 104 mph. Even with the wheel hop, that's inexcusable, considering the mods I have (see signature). I love my NSX, but it's not a good straight-line car. Sure, the magazines have timed the NSX from 13.2 to 13.9 seconds. But do they mention that they drop the clutch at 6000 rpm? That's not a fair measurement of real-world performance.I love the driving feel and livability of this car, but sometimes I really miss the off-the-line performance of a V8. I thought the supercharger would compensate for the NSX's lack of torque. Looks like I'll be making a trip to Comptech next Spring. ------------------Red/Red '91. Comptech Supercharger. RM headers.
