Here are the boys from Best Motoring doing some more of their racing.

Some points of interest:

1) The BM guys finally learn how to drive an Italian car.
2) The NSX was the only car under 400hp (280ps)
3) This should help answer coco-bun's questions about 4wheel drive.

BM is FULL OF SHIT
period
they alway had the NSX win, and now Im sure it will be the GTR
sad but true

in this test, if I remember correctly, the GTR got a warm up lap before the race to heat up the tires and breaks

sure sounds fair to me

I believe coco-bun's question is about the RR configuration of Porsche.

Just recruited a soon-to-be GT-R owner from ClubLexus. The owner lives in Indy

. Hopefully I can invite him or her to our next event.

We just picked up a new member in the Z club. She drives a 350Z. Started turning wrenches and running drag cars when she was 12-13. Just switched to a Z and is currently shopping for a Twin Turbo kit for it.

We also have a NISMO Z in the Z club now.

Need a GT-R connection!!! Have one in Columbus, OH, but need one closer.

So I finally watched this video...and because I know a total of like 5 words in Japanese, I noticed that the guy driving the GT-R said the NSX-R was "cute" (kawaii) as he passed it and waved

you know, seeing Marks NSX made me want to keep it

and now knowing you think its "cute", just means Ill never let it go

it still amazes me that a car with the basic design in the 1980s (NSX) can catch up to a 997 Porsche turbo and GT3 in the turns.

looks like the GT-R lost mainly due to the weight. Wish you guys should understand their comments, theyre the top JGTC....errr...super GT drivers.

PS: They didn't say "kawaii" at all.

it's probably like how "light" and "right" sound the same to a lot of asians.
