Re: Type R revisited

["Adam Lindsay" <adam@mindex.com>]

Sorry, I have driven a Accura NSX, my buddies dad has a nice red one and
although it is an automatic, there is nothing that touches it. Nothing at
all. We raced a Must5.0 one day. We where coming down a ramp and the must5.0
was honestly 75-100yards ahead of us flooring it. The guy had the petal to
the floor. My friend was driving, he steped on the gas, I had enough time to
look over at him(its an automatic) and the car took off. We not only caught
the must5.0 but passed him @ 175mph. We peeled the paint right of that FORD
and I have driven it a lot of fast cars, but nothing touches that.

Hate to say it but no Type R or GLX will ever do that.
