Which 360? I don't know Japanese

@@aspiringaspie3280the one that wasn’t the Challenge Stradale, the one without the white stripe on the top of the windshield. (The one that was dead last.)

haha not quiet, Gan-san is just know to be more agressive but all drivers are professional Super GT drivers. All the NSX-R has some more power than official, all Japanese manufacturers cheated on the power figures, they all made some more, especially the NSX-R got the best performing engines from Honda. Japanese manufacturers tested the engine in bad conditions so they did not make more than 280hp due to the gentlemans agreement.

and how can you explain qualifying times@@binskee677

No, the NSX driver is just very experienced. His name is Keichi Tsuchiya, and he's raced in Le Mans and other circuits in an NSX.

@@tonychavez2083 right on. The bitching and moaning that takes place in the comments section, good grief.

Definitely saw some sandbagging on this one. I've noticed this on some other BMI videos. But in reality, the Stradale should have won. Better brakes and more power in comparison to the NSX Type R.

It got ahead by the driver finding a good position then it was especially visable on the last lap that it raced defensive

Not when he purposely blocks though, which he tends to do with certain regularity.

He sucks

When he’s in any honda!

A like Gan San but he's always cheating on starting and blocks everyone. For me only lap times matter

Best Motoring do tend to drive non Japanese cars nowhere near their limit. The idea that an NSX-R is that much faster than a Challenge Stradale or a 996 GT3 is comical at best. You can see how far at the limit the NSX's, GT-Rs and other similar sports cars are. Then you see the Italian and German cars always being short shifted and let off throttle way ahead of the turn. They had a race where an NSX-R was able to stay in view of a F50, which I found comical.

That`s called racing. In order to take the corner to the right he needed to be on the left side of the track. The Ferrari wasn`t next to him yet so the NSX had all the right to move to that side. Racing is not moving over for a other cars just because they are faster.

Which is absolutely crazy that a BMW is able to outpace super cars of the time

@@jakegianino5762 Not sure what the hate for BMW is among the JDM fan boys really. BMW is the example for nearly all of them. How? Well if you look at the engineering, BMW’s main concentration has always been achieving the most power out of the least displacements engines. Unlike Mercedes-Benz or any of the American cars. Look at Honda’s ideology for instance. Also the 2J isn’t even made by Toyota. It’s built by Yamaha but designed by a German motorsport company.

Totally different track. 🤷

Nurburgring times do not indicate best performance on every track. The CSL was developed on and for the Nurburgring, that's why it's quick there.

My friend 7:50 is the time of m3 csl 7:56 is the nsx r time on the nordschleife, it’s 6 seconds gap arround the high speed 8 minutes lap, the slower the circuit setup is the better the nsx r performs comparing to the csl so even with a same high speed track the nsx would be theoretically 1.8 seconds slower than the csl but at twin ring the nsx r has much more advantage on the csl so the test are so true that you have absolutely no idea 🤷‍♂️

280kph others could go about 300+

it wouldn't but the straights are not long enough even when the other cars had even more power, it creates the gap in the corners and especially under breaking. Also Gan-san blocked the Ferrari in the end, otherwise the Ferrari might have took the win.

The e46 is the best ever, last i6, and the CSL is so track specific, almost not a bmw anymore but the driving experience of it…

@@RomainFleuryWhatever your absolutely correct, and I meant to say E46 , what a gem of a motor.

E92 is a true drivers car as well

None of the new so called “M3” bmw’s of bmws at all are able to keep up with top of the line ferarri’s and porsches like they did back then. Its really sad tbh

Not really. These were only fitted with a horrible automatic transmission.

I'm waiting to see the NSX-R against the F355 Challenge. Both are stripped down mid-engine track toys of the same generation with similar displacement (3.2 vs 3.5)

F355 Challenge is literal race car. NSX Type R is just a little lighter sports car like M3 CSL. Regular F355 would be better comparison

The ferrari was 2 seconds a lap faster.

just that Porsche and BMW mostly win in Japan, BMW was even their Toge Maui for years. Watch all their videos before judging. Japanese culture is different to the west and european cars are considered better than japanese cars in japan by most people, especially Porsche is huge in Japan. The NSX was just lucky in the Video but even then the NSX-R is a very good car, one has been sold for 630k in the US just a few days ago, most people just don't know anything about it but performance wise it's on par with the GT3 and probably slightly better than the CSL.

It’s a marketing material for lazy or non enthusiastic people who don’t want to give a good thought to cars real performance. First of all, NSX was not the fastest car here, it finished P1 because other faster cars was struggling in the battles before they make their way forward, while NSX had a good start from beginning. Secondly, other cars are less suited for such a small course as Motegi than NSX, mostly because they have much longer gear ratios, including final drive. Thirdly, NSX Type R is a track tool with almost no compromises in terms of daily drivability, which makes it lighter and stiffer compered to most of competitors here. It is an obvious advantage in Motegi layout. This fact can lead us to the conclusion that even with more power (but not so dramatically because of P.W.R) competitors don’t have such a huge gap on a straights because top speed really depends on your corner entry, mid cornering and, as a result, in your recovery from corner. After corner recovery there is not enough space to accelerate because straits on this course end really soon and (again) requires shorter gear ratios to be most effective. For instance, in this case NSX will be much faster in recoveries compered to 4WD Gallardo, because Mid-ship layout at this time and at this track layout is far superior in every way compered to 4WD, maybe except 0-60 launches that you people so care about and love to compare. Finally, the guy who was driving NSX was Motoharu Kurosawa, who is a racing veteran and the best driver on this grid. He is also a Honda’s test pilot, who had spend numerous time before with this car and knows its limits precisely, while others cannot drive their cars so comfortably on the edge. Plus all this cars are expensive West exotic with LHD, that can be problematic to Japanese drivers here. This complex of factors gives a great handicap to NSX in THIS PARTICULAR track battle. For instance, if you put a Gallardo in Tsukuba it will obviously not be so effective as in Fuji speedway and contrary to NSX, because different cars are not performing in the same efficient way in every circumstances.

@@Hydruss443 what??

Well of course. Ifyou actually do trackdays you'd know how to preserve tires, brakes, etc. during the race. NSX had the weight advantage, gallardo was a lot heavier compared to that. Had he braked later than the NSX, sure he could've stayed 1st but not at the end of that lap because his brakes would be worn out and he might've ultimately come last because of that problem. Tsukuba circuit have lots of corners than straights, less weight is key on this track.

@@paulouy8996 They don't even finish the firts lap and you are saying that the gallardo has to conservate the breaks and tires?Although the NSX is lighter, it does not have four-wheel drive, which clearly favors the gallando in terms of corner exit, and more torque,also what you say falls under its own weight due to the fact that the gallardo is faster in line straight and in curves it is understood that too (4wd),also, the only clear disadvantage is the tires and the weight, no offense, it seems that you justify the result that they give and based on what you said I leave you the correct comparison between both vehicles so you can see that the NSX has no chance of winning(exept the 360modena) (if it is not a Japanese program of course) : NSX vs Gallardo: fastestlaps.com/comparisons/k0l46u3gv06k NSX vs GT3 : fastestlaps.com/comparisons/fpt051ibt7ac NSX vs 360CS: fastestlaps.com/comparisons/1dbb2s1cbi2l NSX vs 360modena: fastestlaps.com/comparisons/vcp9f1bsam7k NSX vs M3 CSL(They are matched,that's actually because the m3 is limited to 250km/h if it wasn't the m3 beats easely the NSX):fastestlaps.com/comparisons/cfz73ebozu1u Its kinda funny cuz in all japanese track the m3 is significantly slower than the NSX and in other is even faster YIKES, the gt3 is faster in all tracks except the japanes one, call me weird but is pretty obvious whats happening here.

I can sort of understand your scepticism but their are too many variables to point fingers or make accusations. 1.) these are not individual timed sessions, under those circumstances lap times or hypothetical race position may differ. 2.) they are racing door-2-door, one just has to sit back and wait for the right opportunity. 3.) drive axles, weight, weight balance, suspension, down-force or lack of there of, engine placement, tires, transmission, brakes, etc - major factors!!..and all things(drivers) being equal...they will definitely dictate driving style/line such as braking limitations, when, where and how you enter a turn and the speed you are able to enter/exit a turn. But also, no car will have the same strengths at every track.

@@fastlanefiends2972 Obviously they are not individual sessions (ITS A RACE YIKES.), and there are many factors to take into account, clearly the NSX has competition tires (unlike the others (except the 360cs,911 gt3), but that does not mean that the other contenders can defend their position, which they clearly do not do. They are not even trying the push hard the european cars.Everything mentioned on your part is taken into account, the ridiculous is the initial thing, the fact is that this dynamic of erring in car contenders of the Japanese is repeated many times: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pcuSY86QsN-XqWw.html&lc=Ugyhkr3egf03Jg4o6D94AaABAg.9HzAO4Uri7X9IEP2hOsp6k kzfaq.info/get/bejne/f7Oega9yq5-XdoE.html&lc=Ugws0Ydsk1a2DOcSbaB4AaABAg.9I7vBapRaxx9IEBcc8l-Cb The thing is so and so funny that they have made the public believe that an NSX can keep up with an F50: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fpd9oNGpzJrLoo0.html And if it is a race as it is evident there is competition, you cannot be there without even defending your position, and not taking the car to its maximum (which clearly the nsx driver does.) Due to multiple factors that always favor the Japanese on multiple occasions, let me be excessively skeptical and critical with this program.

There are plenty of Best Motoring vids where the NSX doesn't win. I would not expect a Gallardo on regular tyres to be a good track car. Even on the road they were judged by journalists as having too much understeer. It weighs 300kg more than the NSX-R!

All videos, you mean.

because they were stuck behind the Gallardo, the NSX-R got lucky with a early overtake, the stradale did push once it had clean air quickly picked up. The race would have been much different without the gallardo

Have you ever experienced later iterations of the Ferrari F1 gearbox or Maserati MC Shift? Im guessing not lol. The shift in the 430 Scuderia is about the best gearshift ive ever experienced in a road car and the pinnacle of the tech. Unforgettable shifts. Even in the 360CS, the F430, the Granturismo GT / MC Stradale and the the Gransport, the automated manuals in these cars is WAY better than some would lead you to believe. I admit the SMG could be awful but really only at town speeds....in the E60 M5 the SMGiii is SOOO much better when your "on it" than the shiddy 6sp manual the yanks got that its not even funny.

@@tomwebb7091 No I was referring to these cars here and the robotized manuals from that era (1996-2006 roughly).

Fianlly someone who understands and does not blame them for scripting, especially their usual track Tskuba favours small light cars much more than heavy high HP cars. In this case the NSX-R is indeed a very capably car and on par with the CSL and the GT3 ( also makes much more power than the 280hp like all the Japanese cars).

Well, he and 360 had a hard time behind the slow lambo

I had the opportunity to drive many crazy cars the last 20 years, like 911 GT3, Ariel Atoms, the M3 CSL etc, there is something different to Honda cars though which is even very noticable in their Civic Type R and especially in the Integra Type R which allows you to drive them much more on the edge than other cars and that from the beginning. Other cars, especially europeans take more time to understand and have a more conservative setup from factory, even the GT3, they are very concerned with amateurs binning their cars wheras the Hondas are ... almost a bit dangerous (which makes them very fast in capable hands).

Sadly it never had clean air, I feel it was held up.

It was tom!

it doesn't, like any of the Japanese cars, they all made more power, sometimes even up to 50hp more, they used to test engine power under very bad conditions to stay within the "gentleman agreement" stock GTR's have been measured with up to 350hp under good conditons. Also what Honda did was saying that their cars (example the NSX) would rev to 8000rpm when in fact it would rev to 8400rpm making peak power there.

Even in 2002 it was in many parts way ahead of it's competition, the Aero was so advanced back then it was what the new GT3 RS is now. It was more downforce and less drag than any of the other cars on the grid and also the NSX-R made more power (like any Japanese cars back then) than what they said (usually around 320-330hp on the wheel) to say Best Motoring is rigged is bullshit, look at the single lap times.
