150 MPH is the top speed via the governor. That's probably enough.



That car is probably not built to be particularly stable at that
speed. Use
caution.


From 1st hand experience I know that the Speed6 is very stable at 155
MPH. The only mods on the car were a stage 2 exhaust and the CPU had
been flashed to disable the limiter. I doubt I'll take mine beyond 130
MPH very often. That's an arrest here if you get caught.


We get roughly 1 or 2 days a year here when AWD would mean the
difference
between getting there or not.


We get much more than that and the twisty narrow roads, while fun on
the good days, should also be safe for Suzanne's commute on the bad
days. AWD was the only choice for a 3rd car. But if I sell the MG
project, an Elise would be a too much fun to bear.

We'll have to agree to disagree on this point. It's meaningless to
belabor
our two definitions.

Okay, Supercar owner.


The dealer told me today that the black on black is custom order
and may not
be available. Fingers are crossed, it looks so incredibly kewl.


I'm sure he can get it or try another dealer. Money talks.


You pick the track or road, and I'll take the ZO6 while you take an
NSX.


If I pick a twisty road here, a REAL road which has an occasional bump
and crack, I believe you'd need a lot of practice to beat an NSX in a
Vette. I've driven the NSX on such roads and it's got simply world
class handling with precisely the correct amount of power available to
apply. The complient chassis inspires confidence where the Vette does
not. The NSX is a superbly balanced design and it's built to a
standard the Vette can't get close to.
Anyway....that's my opinion and I agree the Vette is faster, but I'd
rather have sex with Scotty's wife rather than own one for free.

Better check with Scotty's wife first. She'd probably rather buy you a
Vette than have sex with you.

I have a lot of time in an NSX--I owned one briefly, but mostly drove it
when a friend owned it. I've driven it hard on track days at Gingerman
(South Haven, MI) Raceway, and I agree it's a competent car. But it lacks
raw power. I tended to wait too late to brake in tight-radius curves for
fear of not being able to accelerate out of the curve adequately. Result:
I ran off the track twice until I accepted that it didn't have the brute
power to blast out of corners and that other, more powerful cars were simply
going to leave me behind. A ZO6, OTOH, would take some restraint on the
throttle to avoid spinning out of a curve, it has so much excess power and
torque. And the ZO6 would be into the next turn following a long straight
before the NSX would be halfway down the straight. Absolutely no
comparison. As for finessing the turns, the NSX might shine a bit, but only
there. According to the automotive press, the ZO6 is no slouch in
cornering.

More like blow him away with a shotgun. Dunno if they make birdshot or rat
shot loads in 12G, tho.
