L vs. NSX
One of the managers here at work has a 93 NSX. The first thing someone said to me was that the NSX would beat my truck, and this giant rivalry started... but it was all other people. Me and the NSX guy just kind of listened to it. heh.
Anyway, finally one day we were on a 2 lane road, at a stoplight. We both went, but neither of us was at full throttle. I jumped ahead, but we caught up to traffic before we reached 60. He takes his car to street races and stuff... but from reading stories and stuff, I don't think I'll ever race anyone on the street. He won't go to a track. I've never been to one anyway.
Soo the answer to your question is "I don't know".
Heh.

You're smart not to street race, see if you can set up a grudge race at a sanctioned track. You should take him on a full 1/4 mile run, provided you fine tune your launch technique and limit wheelspin on takeoff. I say take him down, later, John H.
my roomate has a '91 NSX, and yes, my L is quicker (with a chip, pulley, and K&N). He's finally starting to mod his NSX, so I'm going to need to keep pace
All stock, he runs about 13.7 on a gtech, so you do need to get the launch right.
But when you get to the twisties, don't even think about it... the NSX will be so far ahead, you won't even get a chance to catch em on the straights

I smoked a early 90's NSX and a Boxster S the same day about 18 months ago. Both cars have to KILL the clutch to get any launch at all....

Off the line, it should be a close race, although I would probably put my money on the *L*. However, at higher speeds, it's a different story. Those DOHC NSX's are total highway monsters with their ability to produce gobs of power at high rpms. Being very aerodynamic also doesn't hurt either.
Okay guys/gals:
You get about 2 days to enjoy this then I'm pulling it:

It's possible to beat him. Human error plays a larger part on manual transmissions. Get a couple mods and you'll be fine from stop to 1/4
