What brakes?? Is that when you use the sidewall of your tires to slow down the car? (drifting style)

Oh, and no.
Steve Kan recently instructed at an NSX track day at MSR. There were supercharged NSXs set up for track use with suspension and brakes. Steve had my friend Alan's FD on the track (ported motor, intake, dp, high flow, cb, FMIC, Power FC, tokicos/eibachs, first turbo bad) and was destroying all of the NSXs. He tore **** up, and I think he lapped quite a few. Needless to say, the NSX owners were floored. I'll get him to post more details here.

I have a similar story, I was pulling my motorcycle behind the RX7 on the way to panama city and I punched off with a new mustang gt on the interstate in the middle of the night. He had to have been surprised as the trailor lights pulled away, it was priceless. btw I have a 93 with an 400 hp LT1 and a T56.

I've ran two stock RX-7's with my stock NSX and I've pulled on them both. I wouldn't say I killed them but there was no way that a STOCK RX-7 is going to smoke a stock NSX if both cars are problem free and have an intent to race each other.
Obviously this is a RX-7 forum and people here most likely tend to be biased towards the 7.
The reasons why that owner didn't push his NSX are unknown to me...but from a purely theoretical approach if both drivers were racing, the stock 7 would not smoke a NSX with or without a trailer. Actually, you guys got it the wrong way, the nsx would smoke the rx-7

Well if they were not both stock...whats the point in comparing apples and oranges? Modded cars versus not modded cars?
Obvioulsy, anyone can dump money in ANY vehicles and make it substantially faster. If you guys barely realized that....welcome to the world of technology.

I have an NSX, and this thread doesn't bug me a bit. My X is no quarter mile machine, and I don't expect to be the quickest/fastest in town. I know of some ugly old Novas and Camaros that will eat 10 second cars alive... But beware, RX-7 fans, you may get your butts kicked by an Aztek... See below.
