Okay, I really don't know if this has been posted. But, I saw this today, and got blown away!

Of course, Drift King Tsuchiya himself is at the helm of the Type R.

Jeezus, I *want* that engine!

Hmmm, sorry about that then. I haven't been here in just about a year. I'm trying to catch up.

Yeah. It's crazy how much fun he's having though. I'm 100% certain that he was just blocking the NSX like crazy, but the best lap times were only 3 tenths of a second off...his grip musta run out.

It'll more than likely be more fun to drive, but the R gets to win in the end. I must say I was completely shocked at that outcome, just because I didn't expect so much from the car with the least amount of horsepower to do that good...barring the DC5, of course.

well.. he just had to beat the DC5 (which was no problem =\ ) and take the corners well to keep the NSX behind him. you can tell the NSX would eventually beat the CTR.. just a matter of getting him at the right time in the right corner. power advantage over the CTR

they are still griping over the fact that we nuked them. That';s why they tease us with the Si while the rest of the world gets to enjoy the finer things.

I wouldn't take Best Motoring for anything other than damn good entertainment. The drivers are not equal when put into the cars, so you absolutely cannot use it as a comparison. Hell, just look at how the DC5-R owner was driving the car. He babied it off the line, short shifted the car, and just drove it like it was Sunday and he was on his way to church.

Throw DK into that NSX and it would have been seconds ahead. Simple as that. The NSX hands-down will blow the CT-R away in just about every performance competition when given equal drivers.

I hope you're joking, because that has absolutely NOTHING to do with it.

Of course, but still, there is some measure that is a very great FF car that they have. You could tell Keiichi was blocking the NSX for most of the laps, but it is still an awesome thing to see.

That's like saying Top Gear is informative. It's 90% made up of the opinion of the three hosts. Doesn't stop it from entertaining the shit out of me.

for the record THAT was a Mugen Type-R and USDM does not suck, you JDM bum kissers.
And also Keiichi is a superior driver showing you that its not your car only but its you behind the wheel once again also.
