i really feel with that " i really worked damn hard to own nsx"
this is absolutely true. i just get my 97 nsx by myself. my dad will never pay 1 penny for it. even i used my own money to get it, dad still bitching me every day in past 2 weeks. LOL. yeah, u get nsx. that's a different level than that scion TC. he probably has no chance to own it in his entire life unless he gonna buy a 91-97 after 10 yrs. (nsx will be really old if he does it and not expensive anymore LOL)

dont be fooled by badges of cars. my teggie with a supercharger will eat my nsx twisties and all. ya its got 2 pages of mods but guess what with all the money in my teg im about even in price with the car purchase of my teg. close that is
Im not flaming you the guy at all...but I couldnt have said it any better myself! iv had my nsx for 4 yrs and iv never raced anything other than exotics.
i couldn't put it better than this.......thank you !
i might have passed the speed of 90 , not sure, because i was more aware of my surroundings instead of looking
at my speed.

Hey Sokudo88,
Don't sweat it. To be honest with you, I believe it is probably NOT wise race everyone who tempts you. Don't listen to some of these guys that preach as though they've never pressed down on the accelerator a bit harder than usual when someone is toying with them for fun.
As for me, when guys drive foolishly in an attempt to get my attention and taunt me into a race, I just slow down and remind myself "hey, I'm driving an NSX that I worked damned hard to own and pay off; he, is driving a (enter other crappy car here) so it's not worth my time. I got my NSX when I was 24. I admit I was easily tempted by jerks that kept taunting me. Now, I just ignore them and cruise, just like you would brush off some dust off your pimp shirt:wink:
Truth is, anyone can make a refrigerator on wheels super fast if they throw enough money into it. There will likely be those cars that will surprise you with there speed which much belies there stock performance.
Having said that, I find nothing wrong with playing around with a little acceleration, so long as you are not foolish and are aware of your surroundings and environment. From what I gather, you were cruising at 70mph, down shifted from 5th gear to 3rd gear, and accelerated up to 90+ (hopefully you didn't go beyond that speed, as this would be unwise). Then you were mildly surprised that you didn't leave the Scion as far behind as you might have expected. Does this sound accurate?A previous poster mentioned another driver that was racing at 155mph and got caught and fined. I'm just guessing here, but I believe you were never anywhere near that speed.
I'm sorry so many other prime members have been so harsh:redface: . It's something I've come to expect here. However, there are a number of Prime members that will give you their opinion in a civil, non-condescending manner, as well as some good advice. Don't let it get to you. :smile:
So...I say....Take the NSX to the track and have some fun :biggrin:
funny guy....
i do it cuz i want to. if i dont feel like it then i wont. does that bother you much? does it bother you that im enjoying my ride ? wow...
if you ignore the people that tries to race you, then that's you. dont compare me to your you cuz we're different. i understand you have a nicer car, all yellow, newer year.....cool? you must get more girls attention than i do. and besides, i dont need girls attention cuz i am married. and if i win the race? yeah, i feel good about it. nothing wrong with that.
evo, sti, s200, 350z...etc.....im waiting to get my chance on them. why not?
i am not afraid. just want to know what this nsx can do against other competitors out there. talk about lambo's, i just saw one a few hrs ago on the 10frwy heading west. you see that, i wouldn't even bother. nice car though, all red with black wheels like mine.

maybe it not the same in australian, but if and when we do race our
nsx anywhere,the aim is to win,
why take your pride and joy out, only to race cars that in your own mines you will lose to??

Have fun. Drive safe. Enjoy.
It is all good and gravy as long as
you are being careful. Tho unfortunately, at times,
accidents do happen beyond our controls.
With that said,
I will keep in mind...
I would not mess with a little panda Trueno
if I was driving through Mt. Akina pass
at 4am in the morning. Trying to outrun that
thing will get you owned! :biggrin:

Sokudo, I hate to say it but i race once already.
It was late at night the freeway was empty. By coincidence, A friend of mine in a yellow S2000 wearing a silly helmet found me, and wanted to race. I slowed down to 55mph hoping he'll just forget about it... but he didn't, i kinda knew he wouldn't stop instigating...
I was tempted and gave in. I downshifted to 2nd ran it to the top of 2nd (80mph), by that time, he was far behind, i just slowed back down to 65 mph. he caught up an we just cruized the rest of the way.
So i hate to say it i raced to 80mph on an empty freeway. And had loads of fun.
Granted I probably won't race past 80mph. (which is why i love the stock 5 speed)

driving an nsx is about the experence of the drive, just you and your machine.:smile: :biggrin: :tongue:

You RACED!!??
Oh My GOD! You'll fry in hell forever! How could you do such a thing you most irresponsible poster ever in eternity who probably runs over animals just for fun!
One mention of the R word and the knives come out here on Prime, but you already know that now

My NSX is a 3.0 95 with headers and a cool air intake. No other mods. At Gulfport dragway last summer I clocked a 13.46 at 108mph in a standard 1/4 mile run. My car has pretty standard khumo street tires. I'm not sure I would mention having a tussle with a Scion. I raced a Porsche 911 SC across the bayway the other day. Now that was a tussle, there wasn't a car length between us untill finally at about 155 I started to fall a bit back but was still holding my own. Once we exited the tunnell we pulled over to visit. He said his car was rated at 410 rwhp. Considerig the 95 NSX is rated at about 270 I felt pretty good about it all.

I am not here to judge, really, Im not but I would like to give you some insight. I have some long time freinds that are really into cars as much as I am.
One is a mustang freak that car is scary in every turn, even after 10K of suspension work.. lol
One has the Mercedes E55... looks like a grocery getter
One has a Peter Ferrel built RX-7 that has 10K miles on it. It looks great but we dont see those cars on the road anymore cause they dont last ...lol
My last buddy has a twin turbo supra. You know the one with that big asss space shudle wing and the foggy head lights..
I bought the nsx because I was in love from the very first time I saw it. But let me tell you, E V E RY one of my buddies passed me around like I was their prison Biaaach. Not fun.
We "raced" with MIR time slips that had to be signed by a witness.
Sad fact; Our cars, in terms of power are just not relevant anymore. I am not preaching , "dont race". I am just agreeing that you should chose a situation where "glory can be acheived". Racing a scion is like fighting a girl. If you choke slam her and brag ... Dude ! you just choke slammed a girl, so what.
But OMG ... if she choke slams you, your buddies will ride you like sea biscuit. You will be all over scion dot com before you can say NSX_NICK. lol and if you were my friend I would tease you more than I teased my Dallas buddies after T.O. pulled a Hilary clinton on national television. ROTFLMAO
:: flame suit on:: lol
I have faced the music, our car is old, NEONS are faster, but at the end of the day, we have this sexy girl called an nsx and they have a shtbox.
Hey ! do what I do... I have a 1974 datsun 260 that I am about to put an ls1 into:biggrin: in local scca (parking lot cones) I crushed a BMW m3 ... oh boy was I talking Roy Jones Jr. amounts of shit. He should not have raced me for all of the same reasons you shouldn't race scions.
