I also have a japanese video that the NSX gets its butt kicked by the top of the line FD in Japan NOW in 2 different races. Both 5 lapper and 20 lapper. Even the guy who drove the FD in 20 laps said the FD is better. It has better tire wear and no more overheating problem!

Yeah I just dl that 5 lap video. That race was awsome. I was sweatin there for a sec when the Skyline was tailing the 7.
I swear that R34 was way too fast for stock. I remember an older video where the Skyline was fighting to get in 3rd place. But in this one it took off like a rocket passing everyone up. Whats up with that?? Maybe it was the driver. Too bad they couldn't get an RZ in there. I want to see how it would compare.... Anyone has videos? I've got an FTP....

the J-spec NSX is the fastest Japanese car in a straight line currently in Japan, as stated in a Japanese race video with translations at the bottom.
the J-spec NSX will always beat the J-spec RX-7 if they are the both the same year.
the US-spec RX-7 will always beat the US-spec NSX if they are the same year, which is only 93-95.
got in now??

I love it...
...The commentator is making exuses for the GT-R, while the GT-R driver: "RX-7 is really fast", "Can't chase up at all", "Win totally at straight line".

...Unforutately, the last I posted a video link here, geoshities deleted my entire ******* website! I will send it to anyone personally, who has AIM, or ICQ, or if someone will post it for me. Otherwise I'm thinking of buyin some damn webspace 'cause I don't like the idea of having mine deleted over some stupid link... until then, PM if you're interested.

Hmmmm....
I don't know. I met up with a guy in a 98 NSX about two months ago, and I beat him at the stop light, if just. Granted, with two cars so closely rated it comes down to driver reaction and skill (and god knows i ain't got much skill!!)
BUT, he had a full cat-back system, while my 93 is absolutely bone stock. he even admitted that my car was faster, and he was surprised to learn i didn't have any mods on it. plus, i paid $61,000 less than him, and my car is nicer looking, too!!
he was really cool; we pulled over in a wal-mart parking lot and talked about our cars for damn near a 1/2 hour.
