I cant believe S2000 finished in 4th place
Seems to me the RSX-R is pretty good

 

i am shocked as well

 

too sad. is that IS same as is300 here or what? i know they have is200 turbo but do they have higher performance version? what's up with that silvia? i'm surprised that they didn't do as good as integra-r.

 

i know the jdm is300 is a four banger 2.0L

... I think it has 200 hp, it definately better weight distrubtion because of the lighter engine

 

I don't know, I'm skeptical. First of all, were they all using the same race compound tires, or were they using OE's? Second, does anyone know the skill levels of these drivers? One of them could've been the most recent JGTC champ while the other a local autocross hero. Need more info!

 

The Altezza is much faster than the IS300. i've driven one before..

 

speeeding, i don't understand japanese but i saw that show before. it's like auto magazine in video format. they review cars and i think all of them are professional racers. in japan, seniority is respected much and whenever this group of people race, the eldest in the group gets the best car and in this clip he got the nsx. and the youngest usually gets the lowest performance car. and they start with least hp in front and most hp at the back usually. that's why i saw one episode a skyline started from last and ended up losing to integra-r. they don't change anything to the cars and the cars are either stock or project cars from tuners like hks.

so use that as a rule, i'm guessing the lexus might be is200 which is 2000cc turbo. but i don't know specs of silvia and judging from it's starting position the test car should have pretty high power.
