OHHH BAY BE !!!!!!!!

Just came off the road. Nice straight highway with no traffic. Picture this:

In 6th doin' 70 and then I downshift to 3rd and punch it.

The VTEC kicks in followed by the whistling of the supercharger's turbine as it gulps down a generous shot of nitrous.

NO wonder they call it laughing gas

WHOOPIE!!!!!!!!!!!

SC + NOS? Damn

Gary, the feeling is euphoric isn't it? Glad to see you have your beast out and running again.

Yeah, it is a LOT of fun. It really is great to have it back on the road. It's funny though.....while Ihad to "accessorize" to get close to 500 hp at the crank, many of the new cars Mercedes, Porsches, etc are coming out of the factory like that! That's amazing to me.

The most powerful factory Porsche (GT2) is still only rated at 450hp compare to your 500hp, not to mention it costs $190k.

Forget about the Mercedes. The AMG's may have lots of HP, but they also weigh a ton and none of them are available in manual transmission. The fun driving factor just isn't the same as your NSX.

Hi Folks,
I'm the newest member of the NSX circle here in New England. The car (a black on black '91 with some Comptech goodies) will be on the prowl by June. Please let me know if there will be any meetings/gatherings/drives going on up here in the northeast. Let's not let all the left-coasters have all the fun....
--Best, Scott

Hey Rich, thanks for adding me. I'm waiting for my NSXCA club packet in the mail....

Yong's message reminded me, do you know why NXSPRIME won't accept a yahoo.com email?
I had to sign up with my aol account (which I use only for BYOA access) because it wouldn't recognize the yahoo account. For the record, my "preferred" address is [email protected]

 

[RichH]

Hi Scott,

I don't know why Prime won't accept a yahoo address. You may want to ask Lud the owner and caretaker of NSX Prime.
