I just got the lastest Mischief DVD today and saw the most awesome thing. They were racing around Detroit with a few exotics and all got smoked by a yellow Z28, 91-92. The list of exotics included 1 Mercedes AMG, a Murcielago, a Gallardo, and an NSX. You could see true duals hanging down underneath the 3rd gen. His exhaust was so loud, it drowned out all the other cars as he passed them. Owners name was listed as Mike N. Claims to have 900hp and the way he walked all 4 cars, I'd believe it. Now Im curious if the owner of that Z is on this board or not. He's not part of the Mischief group and just happened to see them out running that night. If I can figure out how to get the clip off the DVD, I'll post it up somewhere. Shots were done from in car in the NSX and the AMG.

 

Right on, thats awesome. 3rd gen represent!! Wonder what mods he had? Any indications he was boosting? Maybe it was a large cube engine w/ spray ...

 

Ok, I just re-watched the clip and my memory isnt quite as good as I thought. There was a Bently Arnage T-24 (one of 24 in the world) and the Mercedes is an SL55 AMG. The 2 Lambos and NSX are correct though. Doesnt sound like the 3rd gen had any power adders like turbo or SC. He could have been spraying, but I couldnt tell. He rolls up on them while cruising and hits it a little. Scene cuts and they are stopped at a light, lined up 4 across, no 3rd gen in sight. They take off on green, Murcielago and SL55 take an early lead. 3rd gen comes roaring out of nowhere from behind and passes all 4, weaving in between them as he flies through the pack. Later the stop to talk to him, and he gets out. T-topped car with black interior. Hard to tell, but looks like most of the interior is intact. 6 or 8 point roll cage installed. The dvd is copy protected, so I cant rip the scene off it.

 

Yeah I have that DVD that Camaro is mean. He rips them all apart at speed. Thats one nice car. It does sound like hes runnin n/a too.

 

That's pretty cool, but btw, NSX's are slow and hardly an exotic.

 

454 with N2O maybe?
----------
True. They're a "hey, look at my pee-pee kind of car."

 

How many do you have?

 

You know the NSX aren't the fastest sport cars according to the magazines but when I saw one it made me turn my head repeatedly! I would love to drive one.

 

Ive seen some a couple of times around here, and even knowing that they arent that fast, i cant help but to stare at them. They look so good.

 

I know NSX's arent the fastest or even exotic, but it was there in the pack (at the start, before it got left behind, lol) Of course, it wasnt stock either, but still got left behind.

 

None, I'm not in the habit of spending incredible amounts of money for a slow Acura.

 

Everyone creams their panties when a stock anything runs in the 12's. Unless it's an NSX. I don't get it.

Also, appartently I'm not as up to date as you guys on what requirements need to be made to make a car an exotic. Someone please list them for me.

 

check out the tekademics site they may have a teaser for the vid on there and maybe we will get lucky and that camaro will be in it. That is totally bad *** btw. 3rd gens represent!

 

An Acura is not an exotic. Nice styling, high price. That's all it really has in common with true exotics. The Viper and Z06 at least are both fast, but neither are exotics being a Dodge and a Chevrolet. An exotic is usually referred to as a European made car like a Ferrari or Lamborghini.

The difference between the brands being that anyone can go down to the dealership and buy an Acura, a Dodge or a Chevy. Lambo's and Ferrari's entire lineup is extremely select and limited. They will never mass market a car to the general public. That is what makes NSX's, Vipers and Z06s NOT exotics, besides having an extremely large presence in the American market. Also, every exotic I can think of is FAST. An NSX is not fast.

It's a fine line though, I agree.

 

nsx might not be all that fast in a straight line, but well driven on a road course, its handling is exceptional.. just underpowered when competing against gallardo, murcielago, top end ferraris, and such.

 

...and one unknown yellow Z28!!

 

Keep in mind that the NSX is only underpowered now. Just like the blessed Third Generation Camaro, it was fantastic in it's day. It's sad really. Honda built the NSX, forever changed the standard for all exotics to come after that, then ignored it for ten years.

No one complains that Lotus cars are slow.

 

I just checked Teckademics and after a huge 64mb download, the Z28 is in fact in the trailer for about 4 seconds at 4:10. Before the street footage is some shots of the 2 lambos at thier house with the chapter title "Woodward dream cruise" It also has a few shots of the lambos from behind and the SL55 sliding through an intersection. Unfortunatly, they dubbed music over the video footage. The actual dvd has raw sound. I highly recommend anyone pick this up it's one of the best Mischief dvds yet. The first is still the best, then Dynasty, Destroy, Invasion, and 3000 last. I still need to get Mayhem to complete my collection up to date.

 

that video looks retarded. Its just a bunch of rich boys being idiots. wohoo

 

Yeah, I don't think many people don't know what a Lotus is. There was one fast Lotus from the mid 90s. 400hp in like a 2200 lb car.

I don't get how an NSX runs 12s, either, to be honest. They are underrated on horsepower or over rated on ETs. 290hp/224lb-ft in a 3200 lb car.

 

honestly the only lotus i know is the elise. and thats from video games

 

God damnit! You guys really aren't familar with Lotus? I can't believe you consider yourselves car people. Seriously.

 

Only rich people are going to be familiar with something like a Lotus, this is a 3rd gen Camaro forum man, we're all broke. Besides, what does knowing about a certain make/model car have to do with being a "car person"? I bet you alot of Lotus drivers out there dont know jack about their car, but they drive a Lotus, are they car people?

The only fast NSX's I've seen were in Japan, and they were all roadcourse fast not 1/4 mile fast. Not all cars are built to do the 1/4.

 

Just because you aren't rich, doesn't mean you can't be familar with different types of cars. It'd be one thing if people didn't know what a Zanda was or a Koeneggs (however you spell it) but Lotuses are common. I see them every once in a while. Hell I raced an Esprit when I first turboed my car. Maybe it's because they use Ford, Honda, and Toyota motors in the states and not Chevy.

 

Not common to goldsdboro. Ive never seen one here and i would notice if i did.

 

I never said they were common. What I'm really surprised at, is how you two are telling me that I shouldn't be surprised if people don't know Lotus, yet you both are familar with the brand.

Who are these mystery cave dwellers that you keep defending?

 

You just said they were common!:

I can show you plenty of 16 year olds that if you ask what a lotus is they wouldnt be able to tell you. Unless you're in a city that has a lot of variety in cars or you know about cars, you most likely wont know what one is.

 

There's a lot of fast thirdgens out there just not that many on TGO
----------

 

I'll say that the average person who doesn't know what a Lotus is has no clue what a NSX is, in your defense, and probably aren't much of a car person. The NSX is only more well known because it's made by Honda, who has a very solid following of tuners. I've never met a Lotus tuner, or even enthusiast.

 

Okay, obviously I did say common. What I meant was common relative to other exotics. Like how many of you have ever seen a Saleen S7 driving around on the street? I haven't and probably never will either.

Anyway, you can ask a 16 year-old almost anything and they won't know what you are talking about. Sorry high schoolers, but it's true.

 

Bottom line on the NSX, it's ABOVE the F-bodies on the Babescammer food chain. Yes it's below cars like Lambo, Ferrari, Porsche, but will ALWAYS be above the F-bodies. Not all women are car people, but they all know the lines of the food chain. LOL

 

Ive seen an s7 on the street... never a lotus however.

 

sadly the most exoctic thing ive seen in my town are a couple NSXs. Nothing too exciting.

 

This has nothing to do with the subject but what kind of wheels do you have CrazyHawaiian? they are very pretty!

 

theres 2 lotuses around the hampton roads area
