Who's car is this? And 11.2 qt mile with 100 HP nitrous, really?

Looks really nice, and impressive to have it down to 28xx but a 11.2 qt mile seems really optimistic with just 100 HP increase. I didn't see anything that said other FI, but maybe I missed it.

Anyone knows who it is and the validity of the claim?

2002 NSX times (1/4 mile) with 4.235 gears
2002 NSX weight and ZMI brake set up

11.2 is very optimistic.

not to put anyone down, you need around 450HP at the wheels

11 is seriously quick.

Well I guess that might be with like .5 gallons of gas. I came in at 2930 or so with my T and full tank of gas, so take 13 gallons away and I'll be in that weight too

that 100hp nitrous shot also adds in the neighborhood of 150-180lbft of torque.

I used to run a 50 shot, and it added exactly 50 hp and 85 lb feet of torque.

plus the headers and exhaust. add 10-15 hp?

aside from that, his ZMI braking system dropped 70 lbs of unsprung, rotating weight. that's huge. and to top it all off, I think the guy has done more runs at the track than anyone. I'm guessing 40-60 runs or so. just look through his old posts, he talks about the 1/4mi track all the time, as well as his gradually decreasing ET's. last time i saw one of his posts it was 12.4 at 110-111 without nitrous.

That's John's old NSX from here in Nashville. He sold it and bought a Ferrari 360 Challenge Stradale a year or so ago.

I run a 50 - 75 shot on an automatic, high stall tq converter (3500), rebuilt tranny, exhaust, weight reduction, Intake, ecu chip(prospeed).....etc..... Never clocked n DRAG strip. All work done in the past 2 months, so I am waiting for better weather...and for my interior to be completed (all that black is boring and a lil out dated)

my gtech says between 12.6 to 12.8 with 50 shot....And based on a program called Jet Calc....it was pretty darn accurate.... (thats with me spinning 1st and 2nd gears....My poor tranny--- and holding the gears manual--) also i have rpm switch (Nitrous only kicks in at 3000 - 6000 rpm)

jet calc can be downloaded here (free)

included a pic of running 100hp shot....

the jet calc says its possible....

100hp shot nitrous (2000 dollars) vs SC or Turbo (6k to 12k)

I would have loved and SC, but as you see above I have an automatic and was very limited. I have used nitrous on rx7 and trans am in the past. if they
say 100 hp---u will get 97 - 103 hp instant....But its not for everyone....I was scared to run on nsx, but took the plunge and installed all the safety options---fuel safety, wot, copper spark, etc..........

sorry got off subject....But according Jet Calc----Its possible on a great launch and day.....with slicks the person may can do even better...
