He's on big Hoosiers, the A series.







Yes, he is. And my beating him has nothing to do with his ability but the fact that my car's suspension wasn't set-up and I was on street tires. I'd simply learned to compensate for all that but it thru him for a loop (literally) with only 3 tries to get the times down. I had all day. My real point here is that if don't have a lot of experience in an NSX or a very similar type car (not many in this catagory), you can't just jump in and wail. Which is why I'm so hungry for like-car experts in this sport.




  


Mine still isn't. But I'm running it anyway. My mods so far: Cantrell air intake duct, stock air box with Comptech drop-in filter, Comptech headers, Gruppe M exhaust, the complete Zandardi suspension parts list from Acura, and the Ecsta tires on OEM rims.


I did almost all my AX on street tires and a nuetral suspension up till just now. And I've gotten this far on that. Now with the Ecstas and a more aggressive set-up (sorry I don't have the numbers, I was out of town when it was done and we still haven't touched base since then, he's hard to get ahold of) But it's more toe-in and neg-camber in the rear than before which has greatly reduced the tail wagging to a point where I can rotate more at-will with control.  


I have no doubts that there are plenty of NSXs out there that can/could beat me, I just wish they'd try. As far as co-driving, I have a feeling you wouldn't be caught dead in my car. Because..... my shameful little secret...... I'm driving an automatic. Oh, the horror of it all!!!  But then again, I'm blowing by a great many 5 speeds out here. I'm actually pissing a lot of people off that I beat because I'm in an auto. I take some perverse pleasure in that.


 


Why, yes, yes I am. And I'll add one more to that: I'm willing to bet I'm the fastest auto tranny AX NSX in the country. How 'bout that!  ;)
