Took out Acura's Finest...

...an NSX on Westheimer here in Houston. It was from a standing start (no question he and I were both "on it"). I ran him through 3rd gear which is about 95 mph. I had him by about 3 car lengths and at that point, he hadn't started to close the gap. The start was even as far as the move, but I jumped out early and through the 1-2. I think he actually bogged on the launch as I didn't hear any tire spin from him.

I am not up to speed on the differences in year/model as they look very much the same to me, but it was yellow and from what I found on google, it looked exactly like this:

Good kill man!! I killed one a couple of months ago too. I'm not sure what year it was either though. They all look similar to me. I know there is a big difference in acceleration between the various years though.

Yeah, if I had to guess, I say it was a more recent one, but hell if I know.

Nice kill! If it was an older NSX pre 97, it wasn't that fast...maybe low 14's to to very high 13's. I raced one from a light on Westheimer and we were even until about 50 then he started to pull.

Nice kill!

Of course your modded cars will run great even agains the likes of the race proven NSX!

Just feel lucky you didn't run into a modded one, or worse a s/c's one. I hear they are beasts!

Low weight center of gravity, mid engine configuration, and modded engine = their win, your loss.

It's always a good feeling to kill a supposed "exotic". Good kill.

True, but I hear they make blowers for the Mustang, too

Stock against stock = NSX wins.

Modded vs. modded = NSX wins.

Your heavily modded Cobra vs. presumed stock NSX = you win.

Good kill though!

Mustang Racers can shove spuds into a stock motor with the best of them.
