It’s no speed demon, but when the Google Street View car was snapping shots of the roads around Laguna Seca, it also managed to grab some track time with a few of the ALMS race cars, including the Corvette C6.R, the Flying Lizard Porsche GT3 RSR, the Lola B08/86 Mazda, the Acura ARX-01b and the Audi R10 TDI.

This might not look like an Acura NSX (which is good, ‘cause it’s not), but for Dave, it’s even better (and I hope it is, since Dave sold his NSX to build this). What is it, you ask?
It is a 1994 Acura Integra GSR that has been converted into a mid-engined, rear wheel drive concoction via a transplanted 1997 Honda Prelude VTEC engine (and a ‘few’ other parts).
Designed to fly in stealth mode, both on the track and in the parking lot, Dave’s creation cost him only $10K, weighs only 2,700 lbs, and has an almost ideal 45/55 weight distribution. NSX it’s not, but who needs flashy, when you’ve got fast?
