1. How many rednecks do you know of that have NSX's?
2. Why would you put traction bars on a mid-engined RWD car?
3. What makes you think glasspacks would fit an NSX, seeing that they are pretty long and the engine is mere feet from the mufflers?
I'm not trying to be rude, but if I am its because you left me no choice. Nitrous is an inexpensive way to add power that rivals that of FI, only without as many long term effects. Honestly, how much does it take to milk 100 extra horsepower from an engine with, say, either a badass build, turbo, or S/C? If it exceeds roughly $500-$800, then it is not as cost efficient. What is wrong with people that makes them hate nitrous oxide? Damn F&F!

LOL. This race took place a LONG time ago. It was probably my second street race, and I still hadn't really learned to drive the car well (starting from 35 in 2nd with a T66). I don't even have the video any more. Incidentally, the Civic that was chasing me is now making well over 500 rwhp and has trapped mid 130s. I still see the NSX driving around since he lives rather close to me. I'm still trying to decide what direction I'm going to take with my FD. I'm leaning towards rebuilding my turbo with a bigger/better flowing wheel and/or hotside and going back to the dyno to shoot for around 475 rwhp @ 20ish psi.
