wish i understood japanese

He said"The rx8 done good";)

i drive it like its hot.

That Alfa Romeo is the slowest car out there, but damn its good looking. I always thought the R32 was a pretty fast car? It's nice to see the 8 walk all over those other cars though.

LOL see, and here in the bay area, people say asians can't drive, I just turn around and say yes, and americans can't build a car. its a joke by the way. just to have a come back. Not ment to offend anyone. :)

wow... the 8 beat the s2.. hmm the other auto x they had with the 8, s2000, miata, integra type R, G35, and WRX the 8 came second to last, and last being the miata.... haha feels good watchin this lol...

none taken

they cant

There is a difference between Japanese and Chinese/Korean drives, hahaha..

Nice video. I speak Japanese pretty well. Mostly the drivers were just commenting on the car they were driving, its handling, braking, and acceleration, and then commenting about how it was comparing to the other cars they were competing against.

Nice to see the 8 school the S2000 and come in first to boot.

i know what they said!!!

spec is the best!! :D:

The R32 should have done better but I loved seeing the '8 kill all of them. :blue:

In the video, all drivers push clutch down with their left foot while hitting brakes around the corner. Then they push accelerator with bottom of the foot while keeping toes on the brake still? Why do they do that????? :Eyecrazy:

They're doing the heel-and-toe...downshifting while taking a corner and braking at the same time.

Anyway, talk about a mega-repost.

keep the RPM's high in the corners

Yeah, a bit of a repost though entertaining nonetheless.

To play the Ike role in this thread, I have to say that the deck was stacked in the RX-8's favor. All the drivers were commenting on how their cars would compare against the RX-8, so this was clearly a race staged for the RX-8. Also, the A-spec was loaded to the gills with Mazdaspeed equipment, including Neova tires. The S2000 had to make do with outdated S-02s.

Yeah, I think it was staged for the rx8 to win. Remember 2004 there was a clip posted of a similar race with the RX8 , s2000 and similar cars like this vid. The 8 led the pack and then just dropped back letting everyone pass. It came in last. That one looked staged too.

How's it that their S2000 has rear seats?

Wow the 8 smoked them. It was also the best looking car out there ;)

its mad tyte JdM y0

Yeah I was impressed too that the 8 beat the s2000..... but who are we kidding those other cars can't handle the twisties like the 8 can :rock:

oh totally! I know that piece of crap s2000 doesn't handle at all.......

bwhahahahahahahhahahahahaha

you arent serious right?

Staged or not, I loved it... I was happy to see it win!

best motoring inst staged -.-;;; i have that episode and i'm a huge fan of best motoring and hot version, those results are real, now whether the cars are all equiped with the same tires and stuff is a different story, but the race is real if you guys actually wanna buy those video's they're at bestmotoringvideo.com

Let's be fair....The Rx8 didn't smoke them - the driver IN the rx8 smoked them ;)

:D


I got the impression the R32 driver was sandbagging.
