Typical test results for the Z06 are more often in the high 12s, even for the 405-hp version (e.g. 12.8 seconds per Road & Track, March 2003). The NSX-R is rarely tested in the 1/4 mile because it's not available in countries that denote distances in miles. I don't think we can reach any conclusions about comparisons between these two models, one of which is only available outside North America and the other is primarily sold within North America. I doubt you can find a direct comparison between the two in any major publication.wildrice said:I don't know about the 0-60 times but the 1/4 times for the NSX-R are 12.8 and the Z-06 12.4 per Chevrolet.
Bob Butler has calculated the reduction (by removing 100 pounds from a '91 NSX) to be 0.16 second.wildrice said:An old drag racer once told me that every 100 lbs was worth .10 second reduction in the 1/4 mile.
Any car can be modded to be faster than any other car. It's just a matter of how much money you want to spend.wildrice said:Go to Z06Vette.com and read the performance spec on the OEM and modded Z-06's and hope you don't run into a modded Z-06 with your modded NSX.

As far as the 91NSX I would hope he doesn't run into anyof the forced induction Z06's that put down between 600-800 HP!!!

I'd like to see a '91 NSX and an 800 hp Z06 race from one coast to the other, 3000 miles. See which car gets there first, and which car has to stop for repairs along the way.wildrice said:As far as the 91NSX I would hope he doesn't run into anyof the forced induction Z06's that put down between 600-800 HP!!!
Funny how people look for the worst magazine figures when making their point. The fact is that Car and Driver tested an NSX Coupe (similar to the Zanardi NSX) in 1998 and twice reported its time as 4.5 seconds, 0-60. Also many other sources report the Z06 times much higher than the figure quoted above (e.g. 4.5 seconds, Road & Track March 2003). I'm not saying the Z-NSX is as fast as the Z06 - I think the Z06 is faster - but "consensus" testing figures are more like 4.3 for the Z06, vs 4.6 for a 3.2-liter NSX Coupe such as the Zanardi.wildrice said:As far as performance CD cites the following times:
Evo 8 0-60 in 5.0 seconds (6/30)
WRX STi 0-60 in 4.6 seconds (6/03)
Zanardi 0-60 in 4.8 seconds (7/99)
Viper 0-60 in 4.3 seconds (2/01)
1/4 mile 12.6 seconds
Z06 0-60 in 4.0 seconds (2/01)
1/4 mile 12.4 seconds
