Now personally I have raced several cars on the interstate starting from a 20 and 30 roll as in Mustangs, Corvettes, VR6 Turbo Jetta,Cadillac CTS and a Turbo SRT4. Guess what my Maxima pulled them all. Im not impressed with any sports car if it can be beat by my full size sedan. Now the Quarter time of the 5.0 may be better than my Maxima but from a roll it would be a much closer race. and just think of the engine in that Maxima being in a smaller car. what then. I would take off 2 secs easy if the car weighed a grand less.

First off, roll racing is for fags.
Take it to the drag strip. I bet you would have a hard time getting a 14.9

The only way your car would beat any of those cars, is if you have an auto trans that kicks down, and they stay in O/D.(BTW, CTSs are balls slow, unless they are a V model)

It kind of reminds me of all the guys on 600s who think they can keep up to the bus, but I rarely go over 6000rpm on the street.

no slinging needed. No magic either. Its just two cam profiles on a single cam. Nothing more nothing less. I never understood why so few people truly understood what the system was and how it works.

It was *sarcasm*...being that the NSX is different from any other Honda/Acura on the street. I was always surprised that there were so many people that didn't even know what an NSX was and then were surprised when they found out it's from Honda/Acura. That's why I started not to post the *magic* comment...as well as not wanting to start any crap since it was just a BS post anyways.

I remember way back in the 80's I was into Honda CRX's and ended up owning 4 of them. A friend from West Virginia had some relatives down for a NASCAR race that all worked in coal mines. I came driving up in my CRX that was lowered...aftermarket wheels...and dark tinted windows. One of them happened to look out of the window about the time I rolled up and yelled downstairs "What the he11 is that in the driveway...looks like somebody cut the front off of a GD missile" !!

When the guy found out it was a Honda...I might as well have been a communist.

He owned a Monte Carlo...yep been in the coal mine awhile have we ?

And then you'd get the "why didn't you buy a real car (Mustang/Camaro) instead of that 4-cylinder shit"
