Yeah it has been posted. Don't be sad though:

Mikey: haha, i guess that is true. btw i watched the link in your sig... hilarious.

we'll just have to wait for someone post a race between the CR and CTR.

I'm betting a tuned/lightly modded s2k (sway bars, suspension, tires, gears, etc) could beat the CTR... but maybe thats just my wishful thinking

With the OEM lip and wing and the top up I think for sure he would have beat him.

That would be really funny to watch after a few laps, have the drivers stop with the engines running, switch cars and go some more. I'm betting we'd see an S spin out

Wouldn't prove anything, just fun

Not trying to be a fanboi, but I gotta say I think comparatively speaking, the s2000 driver was weaker and I would have liked to see a reversed driver race. That's the one thing that always bugs me about BMI, you can usually tell the winner just by seeing which car Tsuchiya is driving.

Not surprising how fast the R is though. Always gotta respect the JDM R badge. But still, rear wheel drive for me.
