got a new toy

Funny but I found chasing a supposed 400 bhp Skyline round Bedford quite easy and the NSX seemed faster through the corners....both tail out action but more effective in the NSX. Straight line is obviously a different story but if you start the straight with more speed, it really does nullify HP figures.

I'm still horribly jealous though.

For what its worth I raced a skyline down the strip at santapod in my 1991 3.0l standard NSX and won. . Don't know the spec of the sykline though. Might have only been a single turbo version, but it was heavily stickered up, so I guessed it wasn't a standard version.

One of my friends had two Skyline GTRs an r33 and then an r32. He finally got rid of the last one due to high running costs. Both fantastic cars though. Had passanger rides in them at several track days.
Would have thought a skyline's fancy computer controlled 4 wheel drive system would make it faster round a track than an NSX?

I would have thought so too, however the car was sliding around a fair bit and slower round the bends... I've never been passed by one. I think the weight kills the handling. Its nothing compared to an Evo when it comes to corners. A well driven Evo will leave the NSX for dead.

At amatuer track days, driver skill plays the most important part. Mo, with respect, you have been going to Bedford for years, and are very quick. You drive your car like you stole it. You can lap your standard NSX round there faster than I managed in my semi-modded one, on my second visit to Bedford.

the building work, slowly doing the inside at the moment and then the outside after the inside is done.im probably going to run out of money before its finished as well,so the car is going to be locked up untill next summer at least,
the audi a4 is a nice enough car but jesus am i missing the NSX

If you're calling me a joy rider then your damn right.
