Default Two hot cars

My buddy stopped by in his NSX the other day after I'd finished detailing my baby. (I'm not sure if these will work as click links or not so you might have to cut and paste, sorry.) His car does need fresh paint but I think they look pretty darn good sitting side by side on a nice sunny day!

Wow, I really like the comparison shots. I've always liked the NSX's, and it's slick to see them side-by-side. Amazing the similarities considering the age of the NSX.

Not sure whos is faster, we haven't had a chance to line them up yet. I'm always hesitant to drag on the street. I'd say mine might edge his out because of the horsepower differential in a straight line, but I'd actually have to give him the edge in cornering and braking, which is pretty amazing since his is a 94 or 95.

Its funny, I was actually researching the two cars two days ago...here is what I came up with, and by the way, it is as simple as it looks:

NSX
Curb Weight (lbs): 3153
Horsepower: 290

Corvette Coupe (Z06)
Curb Weight (lbs): 3214 (3116)
Horsepower: 350 (405)

Need I say more?

Which rims, the NSX or the Corvette? The corvette rims are just wagon wheels painted graphite.
