They are mid/high 13 sec cars, stock. If you don't screw up the launch you should be OK

I own an NSX and I think you will have no problems with a stock one. Mine's a 93' but its not stock. It runs 12.8@108mph in the quater mile...A stock 95' should run a 13.5sec quater..

There was a NSX at the track when I took my car a month or so ago. Not sure what year. It looked to be a few years old but in nice shape. It ran 14.1 - could have been the driver. Just another data point.

I raced one 2 hours after I bought my '98, back in April 1998. It was over by the end of 2nd gear, he lost.

Me & my buddy with a 91 NSX run a lot and he always gets me off the line but that's it... you'll be even at the end of 2nd, (he will shift to 2nd before you) & once in third you'll pull a few cars!

No contest. At the track, of course, you can blow your launch very easy and have to run him down. Great cars, but in a straight line, not even close. In the turns... much closer

If you race against it on a road course, you will be in for a long day, depending on the drivers of course Straight line though, with your mods, and as long as you are worth your weight rowing through the gears, you should waste him
