I had to post this.

Yesterday I had some plum in a NSX sitting on my bumper. I couldn't go any fast due to the speed camera, so the plum went to undertake me, he realised the camera was there and backed off. So pass the camera and I though yeah ok I'll show you and booted it.

The look on his face was classic as he was left for dead.

did he make it to the petrol station to fill his obviously empty tank ?

seconded... the look on his face must have been "look at that tool, its not even worth moving my foot"

most likely!!! :P

To be fair, assuming it's untuned, the NSX only has 280bhp or 256bhp if it's an auto (here) and weighs 130kg more. I suspect he wasn't in the VTEC either when you floored it! NSX will do 60 is 5.7 seconds and a top speed of 170mph but I suspect it needs to be kept on the boil........

However, it must have been quite satisfying covering a tailgater in diesel soot and fumes

I do think these people in their super-cars don't really try most of the time.

i bet they do try there just to scared to put there foot down or just can't drive

more money then sense comes to mind

The NSX is a great car, I wasn't saying it was crap or that the guy was racing me. I just found it funny that's all. Nearly as much as when he nearly T-boned the vauxhall on the round-about, maybe the V-TEC was have kicked in by then :P

More likely that they're old enough and wise enough to realise it isn't worth

a) losing your license

killing yourself or anyone else

c) wasting bloody expensive fuel/tyres

d) using valuable calories changing down

just to prove to some (generally, in my experience) Burberry-cap wearing Nova/Saxo/Corsa driver that their car is as fast as said Nova/Saxo/Corsa driver already knows it is.

I've always thought there wasnt much point in having a fast car if your going to drive like a nun !!

As someone once said on ScoobyNet "asking why people in very expensive cars dont race is like asking why David Beckham doesnt play 5-a-side in my local park with a bunch of chavs"

True.though everytime I have seen something exotic it has been driven in a loud and aggressive manner(oooh the exhaust note on a ferrari :drool: )

It's the people who buy big fat luxo barges like 750 or s class mercs that drive at 17 mph. why didnt they get a 1.0?

Auto nsx is a bit of a donkey. not really supercar though I think manual is different story.

Maybe the NSX driver saw the second camera which was just past the first one

I got passed by an NSX once. I was accelerrating down a slip road onto the M1 and was looking in my door mirror to check the traffic(for once) and I heard this hellish noise, thought I'd snapped a cam belt or something at first. I was in a group N Integrale Evo and giving it reasonablish welly, looked in my mirror and saw this red wedge right behind me. Not wanting to be a **** and cos I really like NSXs, I went up to 'bout 80, opened the window and pulled into the slow lane. This bloke absolutely caned this thing past me and I've gotta say, it sounded ****in magnificent. It sounded like someone had set fire to a bag of cats in the boot. Remapped Furbys may be fast but unfortunately, you can't copy that noise. I'm sad I know, but that memory will stay with me for a long long time .

Cheers
