I raced a highly modified NSX (black with carbon fibre panels) with a lot of boost on the hiway not too long ago. I heard he has $160000 in the car. I was in my 454 powered '73 Vette (slightly modofied). I pulled him from 75 to 140 no problem. Wasn't that impressed with the NSX. He looked really pissed when I let him finally catch up. He wanted to go again, so I showed him taillights a second time. I had seen that car around quite a bit before then. Never saw it again...

Now, we didn't turn any corners, and I know from track experience my Vette (a near 4000 lb pig) can't keep up on a road course, but we weren't racing on a road course. We raced in a straight line from a high speed roll and it was fun to see his face afterward.

BTW my Cobra is a little quicker than the Vette, so I'd have really smoked him in the Cobra.


AND, I don't want to hear from the mamby-pamby folks who never exceed the speed limit about how I am so unsafe. You can keep your comments to yourself. This is America folks.
