Farewell NSX, Hello...
Acura is currently developing a new sports car to succeed the award-winning NSX, which will meet its maker when Acura stops its production later this year. Apparently the current generation NSX needs too much retooling to meet the 2006 emissions and equipment regulations for the U.S., Europe, and Asia. The new supercar should come out in the near future, but in the meantime let's pour a 40oz. for the NSX!
Integra Sets Record
Raceline USA just set a new land-speed record at El Mirage, California. Its '98 Acura Integra Type-R blasted 176.1 mph, which is unchartered territory seeing that the car still has its production body vehicle. However, that was just a stepping stone for a run at the ultimate top speed of 215 mph. The 215 mph run will not be attempted until September 2005. The Integra runs in the G/BGC class (Blown Gas Coupe G Engine, which encompasses 1.5 liter to a max of 2.0 liter) and boasts a power output of 438 hp.
Porn On Wheels
Vivid Entertainment, the world's leading adult film studio and the only thing that's keeping you from killing yourself from extreme horniness, has begun selling light alloy wheels for use on SUVs, pickup trucks, and luxury cars. The distinctive Vivid "V" logo will be on all of the center caps and it will be available this month. Vivid Girl Mercedez will introduce the wheels at car shows around the nation, and Vivid Entertainment's videos can be found inside your hard drive, DVD player, and under the socks in your dad's sock drawer.
Tabacky Is Wacky

Stop smoking now! And get into more lethal drugs. (Uh, that last comment was a joke.)
Hondas Galore
The 2nd annual Honda Event at Eibach Springs had a big turnout, with 900 Hondas rolling out to Eibach Springs in Corona, California. Spectators were heard saying that it was the best car show they've seen, with the exception of the smell of cow poop emanating around the 909 area.
Classic Super Street
The October 1998 issue was the first issue that readers loved to hate. Not only was it the first time Matt Pearson didn't have a naked picture, but it was also the first time that Karl Brauer showed of his pecs by taking off his shirt. The issue also covered quick and easy ways to make horsepower, slammed suspensions, and camshaft secrets.
Tetsu's Tales
Tetsuya Ogushi, the only man in Japan who can perform self-fellatio, is back this month with information on the Honda Type-R. As a result of his master snooping, he found out the following:
Deephartment Of Korrectshuns
What would an issue of Super Street be without mistakes? It would be a damn fine magazine, that's for sure! But we're all human, so caca-dookie happens. First we'll revisit August 2005, where a photo caption went awry on page 101. Under the image of the Option Magazine Stream Z's engine, it says that it's fitted with a "single GReddy TSS turbo" when actually it's supposed to be a "single GReddy T88 turbo." We can all thank Nads for that ungodly mistake. (It's not my fault people can't read my ungodly chicken scratch! - JN) (Yes it is. - Staff) But it's not as bad as our September issue on page 128, where we spelled the name of one of our own staff members wrong: "Oveis Hasmani". His name is actually Oveis Hashmani. Tsk, tsk. Thankfully, he'll forgive us because he finally graduated college with a bachelor's degree after 10 years of studying. Congrats, Otis! Finally, we'd like to correct every instance in Super Street's history that we've called Jonathan Wong gay. He is, in fact, try-sexual, meaning that he'll try almost anything. Sorry, Jonny, but it doesn't help that you wear pink shirts and kiss men at parties.
