COOL!
Thanks. I was waiting for it to appear on my local shop's shelf!
Downloading now.

Don't thank me. It was actually posted from an RX8 forum member who took the time to capture it.

Hope you enjoy it!

Great Video!

Read C&D and then watched Best Motoring today. I can go to sleep even happier knowing ours S are top notch for a three year old car.

Ive been looking for a good S2000 DVD any other must sees?

The S2k has been featured in quite a few Best Motorings and Hot Versions.
I can't say exactly which editions they were right now though, sorry.
I'll post when I get them back.

s2k owns all:thumbup:

i don't understand a word they were saying but damn i'm glad we all have the s2000. this baby just takes the corner like crazy.

Yes, there's a Hot Version clip floating around entitled FR battle.

Has a couple AE86's, an E36 M3, an E46 M3, an Amuse S2000 and a stock RX-7.

It's a great race, to say the least.

hehe, not a fair race.... we all know the S is really a track car.

great results for the oldest car out there (miata didn't have a chance)

...at least the rx8 beat the miata. hahaha

yeah...it really can't compete. but that doesn't make it any less fun. .......

That poor S2000 and the Miata were never really even in the race:p

I tried downloading it twice and both times got the same results - audio only. The video portion stops and freezes after about 5 seconds. ??

try downloading windows media player 9.

I had the same problem initially. You need to download a divx decoder found here.

Click on the free encoder (right hand side).

Iceman, thanks - the encoder download worked. I wasn't expecting that outcome.

You guys should also check out media player classic (not by microsoft). Its a simple player, yet plays almost anything, including DVDs, Real Media files, and quicktime movies. If your missing a codec, it gives you a link to download it. So far, I really like it, I have no problems with it.

What coded do we need for this?

Mine plays for 10 seconds and then the image freezed while the sound continues...

Maybe I need to re-install whatever coded it is.

Thank you.

OOOOPS, just saw that u guys have links already, I was not reading in fear of seeing results discussed...

I'm still having problems. I have the correct codecs, but my vid freezes after 10sec, and audio keeps going. That's in my DivX player. In Windows Media Player 9, RealOne Player, WinAmp, etc., it causes the program to freeze and asks me to send one of those "error reports."

What gives?

Watch the videos, thank you.

Is it me or does the RX8 seem to be slow straight lines?

Even the RSX type R was able to out accelerate it and it seemed to have the same exit speed.

I had the same problem, I went to the DivX website, downloaded and installed the latest free coded. The link is above. Now works very well.

Like I said, I have the correct codecs. Still no work.

When you install the new Divx, there should be a program called Decoder Configuration that comes along with it. Run it, and set the quality level to the lowest. Under the Quality Settings tab, uncheck 'smooth playback'. Now close the video and open it again, see if that works. It did for me.

EDIT:
Forgot to mention, this is if the audio and video aren't sync. with each other.

Make sure to check out the additional Video just added.

Its the RX8, S2000 and G35 in the AutoX.
