I don't know if anybody has tried to do this before, but here is an idea. Since there are 150-200 NSX's at NSXPO why not perform some testing on different aftermarket equipement such as - big brake kits, suspensions, turbos, superchargers. To even the playing field you just need to have one or two sets of the same tires and rims and swap them to each NSX being tested. I personally would love to see a comparison of big brake kits - brembo, stoptech, wilwood, etc. If we could see 5 different cars per category that would be perfect!
Examples....
Big Brake test.
70mph-0, 100mph-0 (time & distance)
-stock
-wilwood
-Brembo gran turismo
-Brembo Indy
-Stoptech
-AP Racing
Suspension test (stock engines if possible)
autocross, slalom (600ft), 1 lap time trial
-stock
-JIC/science of speed
-moton
-tein
-koni
-hks
-NSX type R
Engine - N/A vs Turbo vs Supercharger
0-60mph, 0-100mph, 50-70mph, 1/4 mile, horse power
-stock 3.0 / stock 3.2
-comptech supercharger
-lovefab turbo
-science of speed stage 5 N/A 3.8 litre
-others?
Overall performance - Complete package (anything)
autocross, 1 lap time trial
-comptech
-science of speed
-lovefab
-mugen
-Pulp Racing (where are these guys these days?)
Once a year we have all of these cars together and it would be nice to see equal testing with the same tires and some sort of professional guest driver or a qualified NSXPO participant. If these test already exist on another thread please let me know or if they exist in the NSXCA magazine "Driver" let me know.
Does anybody else want to see these back to back test performed and with results or even a "VIDEO". Let's get Car&Driver or Grassroots Motorsport or some other magzine to come and help out.
I have camera equipement with 2 on-board set-ups and I'm sure we could get a few more video cameras and tri-pods and other participants to help out.
Here's a though - get "Best Motoring" and the "Drift King" to come and do an episode at NSXPO!
Any thoughts?
P.S. Honda - please build something special to carry on the NSX idea, something that will give us a taste of the Honda Formula 1 experience.
