NSX: 1:33.35
Evo: 1:34.10
I know I can break 1:30 in both if I tried more than 5 laps in each, but I'd rather wait for the real thing in a few months..
Anyone know of any driving classes/schools/instructionals going on around march/april in CA somewhere? I wanna sign up now

) the edge would go to the Evo. It would be a fun race to watch though. At like $80k+ the NSX owner has nothing to gain and everything to lose though, you know?
I hope to get a chance to switch cars with him on the track and do a back to back comparison (maybe even get some in-car video). Its pretty weird driving the NSX. It engages (clutch/tranny wise) just like a manual Accord, but sounds waaaay better and keeps going all the way to redline. Its a whole lot of fun. But taking a freeway onramp at 105 on my first Evo test drive sure was addicting (cant let a saleen mustang beat me right?)...
I mean, on the strip... not an onramp... um..

since when does video games not count for some type of real life experience?? where do you think we get good Air Force pilots from? thats years of simulation experience! 
baseline NSX won't beat a 05 GSR... however, a Type R or S Zero will beat a MR... i base this on the substantial increase in car per dollar.... there is a reason why the NSX Type R costs so much ( and not just because it's an exotic )

If your evo's lowered about an inch or 2 more, then I have the money on you..., then again, you could really suck at driving....
Really, it depends on the corner too. The lag could kill the evo if it doesn't match the course, but NSX Vtec engine's top out at 8000 rpm and that could help out... then again their powerband is worst then 2500 rpm lag...
I think it'll be very interesting.

Streets of Willow is best for a high hp with top end power and has minimal cornering.
You'll probably get him with late braking and exiting a corner but he'll get you on the straightaways.

Background: I'll be getting an 05 evo here in the near future and my stepfather just bought a 2004 NSX and we both want to take it out to a track day somewhere in CA for a little instruction and comparison.
Your comments are appreciated
