Luckily, noone here has a car as fast as my NSX :)
I've got a turbo on my Miata, tho... seem to be plenty of twin-turbo and supercharger kits for the NSX too. Baschboost has a new one which gives ~410 rhwp with stock everything else!

Perhaps, but I bet the Kona would be faster than your NSX down Newmarket Road most mornings...

That is a fairly gorgeous estate... still, an audi RS4 avant is pretty incredible and that's an off-the-shelf car...
btw, Steve has an A6 2.7 twin-turbo 4wd!

yes, yes.......... yep I can just barely make out one of the Empeg buttons in the reflection on the window - makes it that much more rarer...

Well, maybe... my SHOWagon isn't my only fast car, Hugo. I also have a Porsche 930 Turbo Carrera gathering dust in my garage.
I think that whichever car went faster would be determined more by the skill, courage and determination of the driver than by the mechanical bits. And I'm old enough now that common sense has for the most part supplanted those traits. :-)

I meant "noone in the empeg office", as opposed to *here*. *here* might be a very frightening prospect (what happened to the guy with that huge hot-rod pickup?)

He went camping, and was never seen again.
