LOL!! But that's still not the answer to a turbo or a supercharger.
I've sat in a Z06 a week ago but the interior is like... (I can't even describe how poor it is). Sure, the Z06 is faster but it doesn't come close to the Xperience. Call me patriotic

Thats why they make Nitrous. For the late night meeting with a ZO6. Trust me HIE with a 75 shot will put a ZO6 in its place from 0-60, 70-150, and the 1/4
Go to your local dragstrip and you will see rusty malibus routinely beating Z06's. Old datsun B210's running in the 10's.... point is: who really cares? YOU still drive and NSX and he was driving a Corvette! Apples and oranges to me.
But if HP is that important to you, by all means support the NSX aftermarket by buying all the go-fast goodies you can! Nothing wrong with that IMO. But remember, there will always be some rusty old chevy that can blow your doors off!
Speaking of which I was driving my 67 camaro this weekend and did the most excellent rolling burnout... IN SECOND GEAR, going about 20 mph the rear end broke sideways... it was sick! Damn, i'm gonna miss that car when I sell it.

this should be in the parts wanted section... or maybe nsx for sale section.
I, too, was out yesterday and saw a long, red hood trying to pry into my trunk. It was a hotshot in a Z06. I noticed him while in 2nd gear after the stoplight changed. I gunned it a little through the next couple of gears (never past 6500 rpm; TCS still ON) but this guy was already in drag mode (perhaps in drag, as well ). He blew past me . I played along until about 125mph and backed down. Those things ARE fast. But, they're still Corvettes.

I know this for a fact, I was putting along on a long causeway and a z06 came up even and gunned it,I was going about 60mph right in the sweet spot and banged it hard and hit the nitrous...pulled on him to 140(had stopped spraying at 100) and I was at least several car lengths ahead as I backed off he pulled up again and gave me a smile and a big thumbs up which suprised me somewhat and made me happy, just some freindly show me what you got. anyway I love the spray not just to 'race' heck I use it more when I am all alone on a very empty road all to myself and just get off big time hit and drift hit and drift..ah the pure joy.

i gathered that. i was implying that maybe you should sell your nsx because it's too slow. humor is so difficult to convey thru the internet... or maybe i'm just not funny.

Re: Re: Re: raced a z06 on the freeway tonight

-just curious.

I ran a C5 the other day...beautiful car. He was definetly modded up though...CHRIST was he fast!! At the light, he said he walks Vipers no problem.
Im waiting for cybernation to finish up their turbo package....grrrrr. I'm getting anxious! Might just wimp out and go S/C!

I ran a '02 ZO6 (405hp model) once...
side by side 3rd and 4th gear pulls...and I had an extra passenger.
That was with my car running only 5psi boost.
add another 1psi with a little better tuning and I should be able to slightly walk away.
