New York is a fun and harrowing race with an NSX-R. I can confirm you'll get 200 points if the 2nd gen Viper, '96 Corvette Gran Sport, Mustang Cobra-R show up. Adjust according to your skill level by using either the '92 NSX-R or the '02 NSX-R; the '02 is faster and smoother but the '92 is so focused and poised in it's own way. Oil change is optional.
I've never attempted to do it using a '92 NSX-R with no oil change. I don't think I could pull it off. I'm sure there is someone out there that can though.
I got a very, very close finish with an '92 (4.7xx seconds) and a comfortable finish (26.xxx seconds)with the '02.
The prize car is kind of an insult, but it is a very satisfying race.
