Video: NSX vs Audi tt Quattro
A couple hwy pulls starting from 45mph. Both cars are right at 290 hp. This shows the diference between 4cyl turbo vs lightweight 6cyl NA.
The Audi pulls quickly at 45 mph but has a short power band with the APR turbo. The NSX was in 3rd gear from 2800rpm up to 8000. You can see big gains in the NSX when it hits 5000rpm. This vid shows the big differences in engine power despite the similar hp in the two types of cars.

Justin, your exhaust sounds great.

Interesting to note:

Someone in a red 91 NSX with a heavily modified supsension and no engine, exhaust or intake mods raced a guy in an orange 91 NSX with 6 speed swap, headers, exhaust and intake on 37N the day after that video was shot.

From what I hear, the red NSX was only about 1 car length behind all the way to 150mph...
 
Those that are lucky their whole lives usually die young...

This story would not surprise me. Sometimes older cars that are in good condition have extra hp unlocked as they age. Suspension is a vital part of any car - just ask the NSX-R.

I like how you can hear the TCS kick in a little as you gas it out of that turn in the rain. Drive that thing to Cincy and let's burn this town down! I'm about due for another steak. Course we can always head to Indy. 8)
