View Full Version : Put a Camaro SS to shame...

I'm not going to just give you my personal info. It's a forum, your going to have to take my word for it, just as everyone else does here. As you get to know me more you will be revealed more information about me as I feel more comfortable here.
These races are not official drag strip races as in their timed and everyone is given an equal chance. It's a about a matter of revs quick thinking and timing. Sure in the perfect enviroment a Camaro SS should be able to beat an NSX in the quarter mile, or it might not? Who knows? It's all about driver, weather condition, tire grip/pressure/temp, engine tempurature, how much gas in each car etc and the list goes on and on. Only a computer simulation which could take in effect HorsePower, Drag Coefficient, Vehicle Weight, drive train loss, tire rotation mass, gear ratios etc could give you some simulated numbers for a quater mile time and based off that you could assume which vehicle could be faster, and in most case. According to Fast-Autos.net here are some data which can be analyzed further.
2001 Camaro SS
Weight 3439
HP 325
TQ 350
0-60 5.2 Seconds
Redline 6K
1991 NSX
Weight 2985
HP 270
TQ 210
0-60 5.5 Seconds
Redline 8K
As you can see that 0-60 times are 3/10ths of a different from each other. Each street race usually entails about 60-80MPH from a rolling start. This is a small margin and with the advantage of gear ratio on the NSX makes the NSX a slow car on paper, but a fast car on the street, being able to beat most cars that it shouldn't be.

I had just washed and waxed my car earlier in the day, so I'm driving down this big industrial road late at night and the run off water from the sprinklers was on the road, I pull over to the very right of the road and slow down to go over the water slowly.
This White Camaro SS with orange stripes pulls right next to me and starts revving his flow masters at me. I look over at him and notice it's a some guy and his girlfriend....I decide to punch it, and so does he. His car is loud and i'll admit it sounds intimidating, but loud don't make you fast. By the end of my first gear i'm already pulling ahead of him, my 2nd gear is long and at 85 mph his front bumper is at my rear.....
I have to make a left turn to get on the freeway so I slow down and pull over to my lane. it's a double left and were at the red light. the revs are up on both of us... Light turns green and we're both on it. He's in my lane as I have to make a right to get on the freeway, he jumps onto the freeway entrance and it's a long straight entrance. He's trying to pull away from me but he can't. I get right on his ass and just as i'm about to give him a little love tap I hit the brakes. When he got on the freeway he immediatley got back into the slow lane to get off the freeway with his tail between his legs. I'm sure his girl didn't give it up to him that night for getting punked so hard.
I thought big V8 domestics should be able to kill those slow NSX's. Next time you hear NSX's are slow, it's usually from someone that never raced one.

God job on beating that V6 Maro with fake badges. Posers with V6s are much more known for putting loud pipes on than the V8 guys do. Besides if it really was a V8, you'd have lost. Even a Z28 would do the job. An SS would only make it worse for you.
And sorry to burst your bubble (well...no not really), but yes your car is fucking slow. I raced them. And I've done that from both perspectives. Being in the slow ass NSX, and being in the car that beats it.

11-23-2005, 07:56 AM
yeap- without boost all NSX's are is pretty
OK I cant resist:
Why were you in an "industrial area" at night?
Why would you slow down to go through the water and then floor it?
The NSX has absolutely zero chance against a SS with exhaust, unless the guy cannot drive(as in hes passed out) or it was so wet he spun tires the entire time- but then so would you.
Not saying your full of shit, but where was this industrial area again?

I'll give the nsx guy a bit - he has AWD, while the camaro is RWD (AWD will grip a bit better on launch, so the v6 might have spun his tires). Now nsx racer, you notice, of course, that I used a lot of might and supposed - I don't believe for a second you even own an nsx until I see a photo of it, much less that you stomped any Camaro, or even raced anyone at all that night.
Oh, and yeah, why were you in an industrial area at night - I grew up in Trenton, yet I sure as hell won't be anywhere other than my neighborhood once it gets dark out around here. Actually, continue driving around such areas... might get taken out of the gene pool all the faster.
Oh, and if that guy in the SS even jokingly considered it a race (once again, if that was an SS) then he would have stomped you by a distance only measurable in airplane lengths. End of story. I recall the SS running STOCK low 13's or 12's (can't remember what exactly) - an nsx iirc runs 15's stock. No way, unless you're running bore, stroke, and heavy mods with induction would you have a chance of taking a Camaro SS by any measurable distance.

dude.. nsx is RWD not awd. its mid engine. nsx is slow, and congratulations nsx racer. you beat a v6 camaro, a feat that some minivans can accomplish.

You took out an Evo and an SS...and they just so happen to both be that bad of drivers, they give up the two second advantage they have in the quarter to your car?
What year is your NSX? What mods?
Actually...fuck it. Ignore those questions. Right here. Right now. Your story stops here until you prove you've got what you say you got. If you're bullshitting, I'm the guy that can prove it the fastest. No pictures or videos needed either.
PM me with your VIN and last name or the last name of the last owner of the car. If you check out, I'll tell these fine people that you do in fact have an NSX and we can continue this...and my word counts for something. If not, don't come back.

Stock for stock an NSX is faster than an LS1 camaro by a couple tenths in the quarter according to car and driver. I've collected back issues for over 10 years. Yeah yeah I know what you are going to say, "I've seen stock ones run low 13's". They are not stock, stock is paper air filter and the all season tires they come with. Feel free to argue but un-biased standardized tests don't lie. Oh, and I'm a domestic fan who thinks NSX's are a waste of money, so I'm not biased either.

Seeing is believing. And the guys at C&D and Motor Trend live in a delusional fantasy land sometimes. I've seen them put up times for the C5 Z06 in the very low 12's. In the real world, it just don't happen with stockers. Speaking of seeing is believing...I've seen a helluv lot more timeslips of stock LS1s in the 13's than I've seen of NSXs in the 13's. But just to rule out other drivers and find out for myself, I've driven many examples of both cars personally. And there's no way an LS1 should take a beat to an NSX based on what my ass dyno tells me.

I think the guy is full of shit about what he says. So since he's brand new here, I thnk he's full of shit about everything. And rather than ask for penny pics, what fuse is #10, or what does it say on page 78 on the owner's manual...I have access to much better resources to prove who owns the car with a VIN check. So yeah, I'm asking for the number. If he's full of shit like I think, I won't be hearing from him. He still could be lying, but he'd have to have access to the car and know the real owner pretty well like it's his dad's car or something.

Not totally unbelievable that you have a '91 NSX. They're not that expensive to pick up used. The owner of this site has one. And he's just as delusional as you apparently.
I raced a Z06 the other day, it was pretty even.
However...it's totally unbelievable that a old tired '91 NSX can hang with a Z06 or beat an SS and a Evo. Unless the guys didn't know they were racing or tried to do something dumb like a 40 roll from 5th gear.
And maybe you didn't read what I wrote, but the NSX is slow on paper, AND slow on the street. I've been in more NSXs than you could ever imagine. Stock ones, modded ones, of all the years. And a stock '91 is so fucking slow that I wouldn't even try against what you've claimed to beat. Hell, I'd even be worried if some kid with a 240 with stickers and a wing on it wanted a run.

Post up a VIN number, or get the fuck out.
And don't come back with some bullshit of "posting personal information". Your VIN number isn't that personal, and posting it on the internet isn't that big of a deal.
I'll put my hat into the bullshit pile, but It shouldn't be hard to get a VIN. The question is, is our hero smart enough to pull a VIN that corresponds with an owner living in the same general area as the place in the story?

The race I think that would have been interesting, and probably dead even (based on my highly calibrated ass dyno) would have been my stock Z06 against a later model NSX so it has a 6 speed, with a Comptech blower and shorter gears.

11-26-2005, 09:31 PM
It is possible, I believe you. I own a camaro and an rx7. Right now my tires are pretty worn on the camaro, cant launch it for shit. I can spin the tires in 2nd. And I have 9.5 inch wide rims. Most camaro owners still have skinny 8 inch wide rims. My rx7 despite having like 50 hp less and is basically bone stock, is faster right now because I can't take advantage of the torque of the camaro.

Why's it so funny? I thought the guy was full of shit. Why bother asking shit about the car or for penny pics and getting lame excuses like "I don't have a digicam" when I could have proved it one way or another with a VIN? I'm not talking CarFax or some crap like that. I'm talking about the American Honda owner database. Hell, I could have even told him if there are any active recalls on his car.
And I still don't believe he beat what he say he beat unless the drivers didn't know they were racing like Ryan against the Z06 that was supposedly pretty even.

$36k can buy a pristine used 2004 Z06. A Z06 that would beat those Nazi cars by a whole lot. The RWD ones, much like many rear weight biased cars, can be a handful when you go past the limit.
Porsches run dirty. They start having issues passing smog if they're not quite 100% after a decade or so. Service and repair is ridiculous on them too. And they seem kinda cramped inside compared to a Corvette or even an NSX.
And I'm not running any fucking Mirage. That's a lose lose situation for me. if I beat it, big deal it's a little econobox and I had a world class sports car. If I lose, then well...I really fucking lose don't I.

The 911 engine only has a few things in common with a bug engine- they are opposed engine- beyond that there are very litlle in common.

The 993 engine ryan was looking at is a masterpiece- the only thing better is the 996 waterboxer motors.
hehehe lol, i just have a grudge against VW, Audi, and porsche.

$500 is cool with me. We'll take it to the track though. Thunder Hill. We can run 3 laps and whoever wins at the end is the winner.
Hahahaha....that's good. I wonder which handles better...oh wait, I already know. NSX easily.

i wouldnt post a number thats not readly changable.
It is possible, I believe you. I own a camaro and an rx7. Right now my tires are pretty worn on the camaro, cant launch it for shit. I can spin the tires in 2nd. And I have 9.5 inch wide rims. Most camaro owners still have skinny 8 inch wide rims. My rx7 despite having like 50 hp less and is basically bone stock, is faster right now because I can't take advantage of the torque of the camaro.
Just for shits and giggles, your bald tires aren't the reason the RX-7 is slower than the Camaro. I'm assuming by saying it has 50 hp less, you're talking about an FD. It weighs well over 500 lbs less and has a vastly superior suspension ... that's your real difference.

Man I get a real laugh out of the lamers who do not even know there cars; then state they opened a can of wup As* and beat a V-8 "american" car with their wanna be cars. Now I know why these guys won't put up their pink slips; they lose all the time. There are many times these lamers pull along side and rev their mouse motors wanting to race. I finally gace in and did' I beat him soooo bad. An accura v-6 wanna be fast and furious dreamer. I know street racing is very dangerous but I picked a place that wasn't in town and was heading towards the highway. I wup hima and look at him way behind me. I look at my speedo at 130+ and slow down' enough all ready. Think this guy got the message? Nope he whined past and honked his honk like " I win, I win". yeat right. Thing is I saw the cop ahead; this moron didn't hahahahah. My car and it is not a fantasy?

Z28 Camaro. 5.7 alum heads, big injectors, crane rollers, zz9 cam, rear mounted turbo, 2600 stall converter, race bilt 4L60 trans, cowl brace, under frame brace, roll cage, and rear mounted turbo where the muffler used to be. Before you open that hole you call a mount and say BS able the turbo; it is real and you can find the info on the net...

I believe you, but pictures would be nice.
I saw a rear mounted turboed black Camaro SS (probably 01) race a fully built turboed Civic EG on honda-tech and lose. Both cars were scarily fast in the video. It was the first time I'd seen a turboed Camaro SS and I'd love to see one in person.

I had just washed and waxed my car earlier in the day, so I'm driving down this big industrial road late at night and the run off water from the sprinklers was on the road, I pull over to the very right of the road and slow down to go over the water slowly.
This White Camaro SS with orange stripes pulls right next to me and starts revving his flow masters at me. I look over at him and notice it's a some guy and his girlfriend....I decide to punch it, and so does he. His car is loud and i'll admit it sounds intimidating, but loud don't make you fast. By the end of my first gear i'm already pulling ahead of him, my 2nd gear is long and at 85 mph his front bumper is at my rear.....
I have to make a left turn to get on the freeway so I slow down and pull over to my lane. it's a double left and were at the red light. the revs are up on both of us... Light turns green and we're both on it. He's in my lane as I have to make a right to get on the freeway, he jumps onto the freeway entrance and it's a long straight entrance. He's trying to pull away from me but he can't. I get right on his ass and just as i'm about to give him a little love tap I hit the brakes. When he got on the freeway he immediatley got back into the slow lane to get off the freeway with his tail between his legs. I'm sure his girl didn't give it up to him that night for getting punked so hard.
I thought big V8 domestics should be able to kill those slow NSX's. Next time you hear NSX's are slow, it's usually from someone that never raced one.
ha a nsx and a camaro ss u gotta be kidding me. i wont be suprised if a v6 camaro pulls on you. Dont go around talking your sh*t because you cant keep up. Just save up and by one thats gotta be the best move for you.

I should've kept my Fiero GT from when I was 16. That thing did look fast alright. Too bad it got smoked by not only IROC-Zs, but old tired F-bodies with a somewhat gutless 305 in them. The only thing my Fiero had going for it was it could handle decently...just like an NSX.

I've seen very few stock Nsxs around here. Most of them have been modified, at least to some extent. If i remembered right, you mentioned you had a 84 auto vette? So yeah, unless it's been heavily modified, don't think you'll catch any Nsxs.
Sorry if the question was just for rob.

03-23-2006, 07:18 PM
As much as I want to say a Corvette will beat an NSX...I don't the '84 has got the steam to do it.
And maybe it's my job...but I see way more bone stock NSXs than modded ones. Yup. Stock right down to the cassette player in the dash.

Man, so much hate among imports and muscle... lol who cares...its all about the cars... I'm sure the NSX could take the SS no problem ........ I have no idea what mods on the video there but both of the cars are great........ personally on the looks the NSX has the advantage..... but thats all relative to what you personally like sooooo who cares... just buy the car that you like... drive it like you mean it... and stop the hate.... lol.. although some of the bS is fun... makes for great entretainment........

I don't think, ric, that many people on this site take it all that seriously. After all, in my 10-years plus of going to racetracks, I've seen it all. From guys going into the sand pit down at the end of the track (a full 3/4 mile from the finish line) because the guy didn't know he had to hit the brakes (thought it went all the way to Ohio I guess, lol) to a z06 getting destroyed by a near-stock miata in the quarter mile. Point being, anything's possible.
Now, before you revive a thread, please check when that thread is from. In this case, it's just a bit old.
Anything can be made fast with enough money ... I could build a chevette that would embarass that nsx in your vid, and someone could build a yugo to beat my chevette, and a civic to dust that yugo, etc.
