This Month's Best Motoring
6 Laps around Tsukuba:
1.) NSX Type R - 3.2L 276hp
2.) Impreza RA-R - 2.0L turbo 276hp
3.) Impreza Spec C - 2.0L turbo 276hp
4.) Lancer Evo 9 MR - 2.0L turbo276hp
5.) Civic Type R - 2.0L N/A 225ps (222hp)
6.) Nismo Fairlazy Z (350Z) - 3.5L 313hp
This is the second time in a row where the Nismo Z gets humiliated by the lowly Civic type R.
Don't get me wrong, I love Nissan. But it is apparent now that the new Z (370Z?) will need to do a tad better to save Nissan's reputation. Last month, the civic type R spanked the Nismo. Also, all other companies were faster than the R34 V-spec by 4 seconds.

these lap battles are completely staged, comeon... I've watched alot of the BM vids and they suck for a real comparison.
starting position matters as well.
but either way... lol at the inflammatory thread. what a joke.

I really enjoy the BMI videos...but they definitely get very inconsistent results during their Tsukuba battles. I always get the feeling that the "featured" car in each video typically has a leg up on the rest of the field. Example: the Z Shock video...guess who won the battle against an E46 M3 and an S2000....the Z. In stock trim the S2000 would edge out the Z for sure.
Just like any other type of magazine or review show...the results tend to favor the highest bidders
. Still a fun show though.

I don't know why people yell "Conspiracy! It's a set up! It's fixed! Nissan didn't bribe the right people!" whenever there's a comparo where the Z gets beat (conversely, people here will praise any test that has the Z or another Nissan product that comes out on top because there can't possibly be a fix whenever Nissan wins
) . Let's just call it like it is and suck it up, folks, the Z will get beat once in a while, sometimes by a "lowlier" car.
