Check out the drag times of dswartz in the middle of this old thread.No magic in the car just speed. http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1964&highlight=yellow+coupe+quarter+mile
His link is broken I agree shifting at 7800 and warming the tires up and bogging over burning tires.
Also he mentions his coupe is light and has I/H/E(additional 20+hp ) running on drag radials thats additional 20+hp not really stock any more.
His car was tested by Road and Track before he owned it, stock, and gave the magazine racers fits when it came in 0-60 in the mid fours.
I've driven this car and it is fast.
Stock NA1's run low 13's, CTSC cars should run mid 12's....I'd be curious to know how you ran 12.77 on NA NSX?I ran a 12.5x in the CTSC car a long time ago.
But trust me, stock for stock. I'd run whoever in my bone stock M3 and give you something to worry about:biggrin: A 996 Turbo could start in 2nd or 3rd gear, give a car length or two and still spank an NSX:redface:
All I'm saying, this comparison is silly:wink:
My NSX when I ran the 12.77 was 2690lbsthat is 110 lbs lighter than a NA2 type-R
12.5 in the quarter with 350 hp is not a good example of a CTSC NSX.
For comparison of your numbers vs mine using theoretic numbers to actual numbers. Usually .25 slower accurate if your good or .5 slower if your OK
CTSC
350rwhp / 3010 lbs = 12.00 / 12.5 you
350rwhp / 2690 lbs = 11.49
Stock figures theoretic vs tested
245rwhp / 3010 lbs = 13.44 NA1 stock / 13.57 tested
245rwhp / 2717 lbs = 13.00 NA1-R / 13.1 tested
265rwhp / 3164 lbs = 13.31 NA2 stock / 13.37 tested
280rwhp / 2800 lbs = 12.54 NA2-R / 12.7 tested
Modified 90-94 NA1's
265rwhp / 3010 lbs = 13.10 NA1 w/ H/I/E
273rwhp / 3010 lbs = 12.90 NA1 w/ H/I/E/C RPS clutch
273rwhp / 2690 lbs = 12.48 My NA1 w/ H/I/E/C RPS clutch & polished head / 12.77 My NSX
My 12.77 @ 2690lbs on OEM's and 12.9's on my volks is fairly slower than theoretic and therefore far from unrealistic.
You ran .55 slower than theoretic time. my average is 12.9's which is .4 slower than theoretic which is on par with your time, when I ran 12.77 that was .27 slower than theoretic time which is a very good run.
So in reality my average time is in line with your best time, Im sure with more runs your best real time could well be 12.25 if 3010 lbs but if you were 2690lbs as Mine than you could run 11.75 realistically
By the way it is easier to run good times on a lighter naturally aspirated car than it would be to run well a heavier boosted car.
Well as it turns out, this is going to happen...sort of.
We (www.DrivNN.com) are sponsoring and event at Great Lakes Dragaway in Union Grove, WI on Oct. 5th.
My biz partner is bringing his 2001 996TT. I've driven the car and I can tell you that my NA1 doesn't stand a chance. Several other NSXs are coming, as well. I'm hoping we can line up some SC'd or turbo's NSXs against him:smile: Here is the link: http://www.nsxprime.com/forums/showthread.php?t=110788

For what its worth, I was in my 996 40 year anniversary (X51 power upgrade, etc...) and was DEMOLISHED by a kid driving a SLR Merc (a d'oh moment I admit). Very sad. Still bruised ego egged me on to trade 996 40 yr. for a new red 996 GT3.
Lesson learned, I now avoid SLR's completely.
As for my new older auto NSX, am happy just to keep up with traffic.
