Proud new owner of NSX, AWESOME! Please help me answer some questions.

[ilya]

I'm in the West LA area.
It was great meeting many of you at NSX Modified yesterday. I had a great time and learned a lot about my car. I know you guys liked the sound system. B)
I look forward to some of the future events and I'll be watching the forum for info.

But again u have also take downforce into account. When u have even better downforce, u get bigger contact patch. That's why sometimes wider tires are necessary.

That's simply not true.

Any changes in the contact patch due to downforce will be minimal in a street car, and will create the same change to the size of the contact patch whether you have wider tires or not.
