That car is beautiful! WTG Acura!

Hawt.

Didn't Acura ever run factory-backed NSXs? In Speed GT or something similar?

Yeah, I was a little caught out by that statement too, but I guess they never ran factory ones.

I can't remember NSX's in Speed GT... though they ran a ton of 'em in JGTC. If there were NSX's in World Challenge, they must not have been factory, and they must not have been that competative 'cause I don't remember 'em.

Kinda looks like the Batmobile that was at Stead on Sunday.

how about that diesel audi? the one with 650ish hp and 1500ish lb/ft.

oh and that acura is pretty.

Diesel Audi is an LMP1 car, not LMP2.
