S2000 vs 350Z vs M3 vs Boxster

Peep this business out. It's totally insane how they drive these babies.

They say the tires on the M3 were not adapted to the track. And I say that if the GTR would've kept its distance, the S2000 could've taken the lead, assuming he would not f*ck up like it did when it battled the M3 and ran way too wide.

I am actually surprised at the boxster : it lags behind significantly.

Also can anyone contribute an 'educated' guess as to how the GTR compares to an STi or an Evo?

yea i agree, the S2K would've taken the Z if the GTR would've gotten the hell out of the way. on one turn, the S2K was literally like 4 inches behind the M3

good find

its amazing how out of no where the AE86 has become a fan-boy car in america!

it was in japan for a long time, but not everyone wants one.
not me ill take a nice clean modern car. but then again i dont like any of the trendy cars that much... i.e. evo, sti, srt, etc

like every single other japanese race test, this one is so rigged its not even funny.

a special camera car?? wtf? every car there has a camera. and wtf is that with the skyline cutting everyone off to get to the front? not a very neutral participant.

not a bad video for entertainment purposes...but not a true test.

320 got time of 1.26 and the 400 got the 1.24.8 so both are good, 400 had clutch problems starting off and horrible turbo lag. They didnt do the 340 or 260 so dont know about them

I will say that the Boxster has been a huge disappointment for Porsche for quite some time. Other than its looks and its price tag, there's little that qualify it as a Porsche.
