Come a long a way from the SL and viper Ben!
I think I'm more in awe by all details in the garage (like flooring and ceiling), than by the fleet of bananas.
For those who've asked for some wide open and part throttle exhaust clips with the new setup here they are. Some deep triple digit pulls included at no extra charge...
Also had the car dyno'd again after putting a few miles on it.
Was very happy with the delta, and it corroborates what the seat of the pants feel is--that there is TONS more power on the top end now. Dyno room conditions were within 5* ambient of the previous bolt-on run, and numbers are SAE...
Installed;
Overall, I should of sprayed some clear over the 3M to add more gloss, but I was impatient and just bolted them on. Regardless, I really like how it came out, makes the front end more aggressive.
Scored a set of TA 2.0 extensions from Santa this year so I was anxious to get them mounted. One thing I don't like about the oem extensions was that they are just as-molded plastic in finish, and look a bit off up against the nice carbon splitter bodies. So i decided to wrap them to get some...
NSX's have been struggling to move, had a friend pick one up for 150k after a 50k discount off MSRP.
Quite compelling at that price (in the novelty sense).
The gas mileage comment had nothing to do with cost. Its a matter of being annoying. Case in point, me and few friends go for a cruise/fun-run. We can't go more than 100 miles with cruising/playin-around because all of my buddies in the E85/Meth Z06s physically run out of fuel. It gets annoying...
During the packages development they tested a "race gas tune" with c16, and only picked up 8 peak, and 10ish through the curve. Was deemed not worth it, and wasn't offered as an option on the commercial product. I'm sure it would be the same story for E85. Not worth it to half your gas mileage...
I have no idea, I never look at tread ratings. I can tell you I squeezed about 10,000 miles out of my R888s last go-around with A LOT of racing (but no burn-outs, dumb shit, etc).
One more fun little upgrade.
I always felt like the catted Belanger setup was amazing in tone, and the perfect sound level at WOT. The only thing I wished was that it would give me a bit more chop at idle now that the car was HC (the cats really mute out the idle chop). That, and I've always...
