yellow on the STi doesn't do that car any justice :(
but damn was it fast, seems like the quietest car of the bunch too lol
shocked that even the 370 passed the is-f
somehow I want to blame it on the driver even though I like the Z better

Was it just me or did the NSX seem like the only car there that sounded fun to drive? The other cars had such boring exhaust notes inside the cabin...The NSX sounded like it wanted you to drive harder and faster.

evo driver shifts so fast!

is-f is nice and all, but its the only non manual in that bunch, and we all have heard of the issue where the car wont let u blip the throttle when downshifting. if u down shift and the next gear is going to be 5000 rpm or higher, it wont let u downshift

i dont like how the IS-F only comes with paddle shift

no wonder the m3 is so much more popular

Is the EVO heavily modified?

NSX-R is faster than the Spec-C in this race :)

spec-c has so much understeer... is there no way to correct it (ie. DCCD)? :(

It sure seemed like a lot of understeer. Using the DCCD can definitely help with understeer :thumbsup:

Watching the spec-c coming out of corners is awesome!

Epic quotes:
Oh so if you steer a whole lot this thing will turn! Awwwright!

These guys are having their days until the LF-A comes out, I'll get you when LF-A comes out!

lol the evo guy missed a shift :P he even says it "oh shit i missed a shift"

the is-f has 8 gears...lol i think thats why jeremy clarkson said it will never be good

im surprised the NSX-R didnt win

Thanks for the vid.

It's sad that Honda hasn't brought any new sports cars into market for 10 years-whereas all the other Japanese brands have modern sports cars. And I am a huge Honda fan. :(

I think the NSX-R did awesome for what is basically a 20years old car. I love the NSX and want to see it more but I think is time for Best Motoring to retire the car and let it RIP.

well considering how old the nsx-r is with the other more modern cars nsx-r put up a real good battle.... if it was a timed race rather then head to head, then I'm sure nsx would be 1st if not 2nd

V10 550hp definitely sounds promising

Is-f is a dog...held up the whole group...nsx should of atleast came second.

Toyota in general sucks at building sports car...all they did was put a bigger engine in the IS and called it a day..pathetic.
