When I just pulled onto the Autobahn coming from Bitburg, and while being on the phone (hands free), an NSX passed me ... guess I was going like 65 at the time, wanted to keep the noise down while speaking ... anyway, sped up a bit, but he still got well ahead before the call ended ... took me a while to catch up (@130-140), when he saw me coming up he accellerated, too ... ran out of Autobahn before it went onto A1 ... anyway, he also went my direction, so I got to catch up on the accelleration lane ... looked like I was able to pull good on him in 3rd and 4th ... ran out of revs there, though, had a hard time keeping up in 5th and 6th gear ... plus the traffic was a bit thicker there than on the other stretch ... got to pass him shortly, dropped down to my usual 80ish cruise speed, when he passed again I had to give him thumbs up ... cool car, even if it's a Honda ...

Would like to run him at the Quartermile, though ... I guess it's short a bit on the torque side ...

Sounds like a nice run.

Cool. :) I've already had my encounter with an NSX some years ago, was pretty even on the Autobahn...

On my way home from last Bitburg I had a Toyota Supra in front of me from the tunnel in Bernkastel-Kues until Hahn Airport. It was some nice "cruising" :wink: of our cars on the Landstrasse... 8)
