Is it just me or was that whole Nos section a bag of shite?
A honda NSX is 276 bhp and does 0-60 in 5.5 secs...
A 1.9 Mk 2 Golf Diesel has 64 bhp and does 0-60 in about 17 secs...
It may have been a SE Golf which has around 90 bhp but still only does 0-60 in 12.4 secs
They fitted nos to this golf and then raced it against the NSX... and er well the golf was pretty close... Bullshit anyone? 
I reckon they purposely drove the NSX slightly slower than you would if you were racing to let it look like it was close... 
Otherwise that golf must of been pushing well over 200 bhp

sounds like crap to me, wud need some serious NOS to give the performance required.
Would blow the engine up surely, and wudnt it have trouble with grip compared to the NSX on 165/65 odd tyres LOL!

i watched it, that bit about the woman being scared of motorway driving, and then in the end she concoured her fear and wasted half the show in the process
