Default SRT-4 vs NSX

A couple of nights ago in my SRT-4 I rolled up next to a black NSX at a redlight on my way home. A guy in maybe his mid 30's was driving it and looked over at me when I pulled up. I kind of ignored him as he kept looking over at the car. The light turned green and we both feathered it a little on a slow roll then punched. He jumped ahead of me and I caught back up at the end of 2nd, through 3rd we were neck in neck then in fourth he pulled ahead of me by half a car length and we both hit the brakes. I lost but it was still a good time.

Even tho they are way overpriced, the NSX is still one VERY fast car....especially for a N/A

Good race, and I'm glad to see you two didnt go overboard either.

Stage 1 with Mopar BOV conv. Maybe with a stage 2 I would of had more of a chance of beating him. NSXs run stock around mid to high 13's but have much better high end performance.

If you are going to race you might as well race something that is worth it. I don't race much any more but I never try to race anyone I know I can beat. Waste of my time and wear on my car.

I agree, when little hondas and **** pull up next to me and want to race... I just creep off the line... It's not worth my gas, because I know I would just kill them.

The NSX being mid-engine RWD also has a big tractional advantage over you, not to mention their far more generous tire sizing.

NSX's aren't made for drag racing...their made for road racing. I konw you guys know that... I'm just stating the facts.
