cintron Posted August 6 Report Share Posted August 6 An Acura NSX...Mmmmmmm Yeah they're nice. Too bad they're so horribly underpowered for the price you pay.Though i have to admit an NSX with a Comptech supercharger is a horribly fast piece of machinery.Welcome to 425hp and 305 ft-lb of torque...Though i consider that kind of sad, because my car puts out more power than that with a basic turbo upgradeVersus the TRD 2000GT MR2Sorry man... i'd give the win to the deuce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we both know you can squeeze out a lot more power (and boost) with that beautiful piece of machinery that is the mitsubishi 4g63 engine, with a lot less work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crackorn Posted August 6 Report Share Posted August 6 I'm not positive but didn't that 'vette come with crossfire injection? What were they thinking with that? I would go with a small block crate motor, drop it right in and go. No bs'ing around with motor mounts or lack of room. The great thing about those vettes was the location of the engine in relation to the rear wheels. That's one reason why they never went ahead with building a production vette with an engine amidships like the NSX. They did build a few proto types with the mid engine configuration in the sixies.

tottallyoff Posted August 6 Report Share Posted August 6 I am sorry. But all these cars are just toys. One who dies with most toys - is still dead. But if you have this toy, you can at least say you had fun. Hacker - NSX is the Shit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends. US-Spec or Jspec *sigh* we ALWAYS get shafted in the states when it comes to cool cars and cool engines. Jspec deuces have no problem making 400-500hp on a stock unopened engine.speaking of shitty cars and being blueballed by the foreign market (and our own "shitty gas guzzling poor handling SUV's are safer than small good handling sports cars" public mentality)has anybody seen the Mitsubishi Lancer... "O.Z. Rally Edition" ?Is anybody else as equally disgusted as I am about the fact it has bottom of the line 15" OZ wheels, Limo-quality suspension and an engine that a Cuisinart could outrun?Am I the only one screaming here at the injustice of the trendy wannabe-hip crowd destroying all our chance of getting anything decent by buying into the hip and trendy corporate image these pieces of shit cars create?GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.[just learns that plans to bring a turbocharged MR2 spyder over have been "indefinitely postponed"... fucking EPA. Fucking yuppies. I blame Dave Matthews, corporate America and anybody who thinks anything coming out of Mitsubishi these days to the US is a "fun cool car".] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would've been nice having a 2200lb deuce that packed 255hp out of the box Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
