RAR v Spec C v Evo v TypeR v NSX

[96eg3]

That RA-R goes like the clappers... And good old NSX still giving it large!

[dayidie2]

those guys in the wrx's are bruttal, axle tramp hard on the launch! Wouldn't want to do that to much.

[elmoiSPM]

they're all stock, right?

[JAE2662]

Spec C rocks! 280 HP. Light weight. Take on anybody anytime!

[nukeurhouse12]

Wow the leg work is crazy especially that yellow STI and nsx

[riccardinono]

I Love Japan!!!!!!

[Villu666]

what gives a 2:57 "pedal trick" ? brak and gas at the same time?

[EVANandMONICA]

@Villu666 Its called "heel toe" look it up. If you drive a stick you should probably familiarize yourself with this technique :)

[Povilas7]

@Villu666 keeps your revs ( or turbo spool ) up while under braking

[LeechHat]

@Povilas7

No, it's for revmatching so that when you downshift it's smooth instead of lugging hard while the engine tries to catch up 

[soop0r]

In a previous episode "Team EVO VIII vs Team STI - EVO Strikes Back - Best Motoring International" the version 8 STI Spec C and Evo VIII recorded significantly faster lap times than these cars. Are these newer cars slower?

[GSIdude]

@soop0r Yeah, i think part of the reason has to be different ambient temperatures, road conditions. This one looks like the track was a bit wet.

[superbike011]

@GSIdude not only that, it could be heavier and slower....maybe because of restricted emmission?

[GSIdude]

@superbike011 Yes that contributes to slower lap times to a certain extend i guess. Both the Spec C and Evos are getting heavier with each revision.

[eamonsugrue]

all gr8 cars but i do think the spec c ra-r driver wasn't driving it as hard as the nsx driver was!!!!! do the race again and swap the drivers...jap performance cars are ace drive them to their limit day after day or just pop to do the shopping in them..... bomb proof......

[netrioter]

@eamonsugrue the NSX is 290 hp with a 500 pound weight advantage over the RA-R. that RA-R was maxed out for sure...itd have to be 350+hp to really go against a NSX. Had the NSX been a older Zanardi Edition with the 320 hp and another 300 hp less pounds in weight....it would have won by a couple hundred car lengths. Power to weight means everything on the track and the AWD system on the subies is HEAVY...they weigh 3500-3600 pounds. The NSX is maybe 2700 pounds.

[SmerfTeam]

@netrioter HAHAHAHAH new sti weights 2700 pounds u dumbass. the old one was about 2200 pounds. The sti is a fucking homologation special for a rally car and the nsx is a sports car for the track so stfu.

[netrioter]

@SmerfTeam i sell Subarus for living.....the new STI is over 3500 pounds in the US. sorry buddy. They still dont beat a NSX..never will. they may weigh that much for rally minus the whole interior removed and other stuff removed. In the showroom.....they don't sell stripped down versions that are race ready and the car you see on the race circuit has almost nothing in common with the showroom edition....the ones you see here are showroom cars...not racers. duh

[SmerfTeam]

@netrioter /facepalm

[soop0r]

@netrioter the RA-R weighs 3064 lbs and has 320hp stock

[MG42AA2]

impreza SPEC-C and Impreza RA-R is unfair to the EVO GSR...the impreza are heavily tuned and the EVO is only stock...

[slotank]

@MG42AA2 thats a evo mr and evos are equiped with ayc which aids in handling a lot they can make a new driver look good, the sti's are missing the many amount of electronic aids the evo has.......

[slotank]

@MG42AA2 i have a spec c and its not heavily modified at all from factory

[uummmnocoolnames]

@MG42AA2 had either impreza been "heavily tuned" they would have kicked the shit out of the nsx. i don't speak japanese, but im fairly sure all those cars were off-the-lot stock(except the cameras).

[LeechHat]

@uummmnocoolnames

And had all of them been "heavily tuned", the NSX would kick the shit out of the Subies. An NSX on boost is fucking nuts. Saw one in Vancouver a while ago running a supercharger. I came in my pants a little bit when the guy took off when the light turned green.

[christophersaa]

Ra-R and Nsx-R are the best production cars ever! IMO =)

[turbol8]

tht nsx-r aint realy fair againt tht other cars

[afiq1165]

@turbol8 Why do U think that NSX is not fair?

[netrioter]

@afiq1165 because they have a way better power/weight ratio and theyre mid engined...the rest are family sedans that are way heavier.

[crazzyjesus]

@turbol8 the nsx-r is 280 hp stock with the C32A engine (3200 cc)

[robinleveille220988]

whats in the passenger seats lol? are those engines?

[sperosp]

honda > subaru

[CJAEY]

@sperosp

The NSX type R cost twice as much as a Spec C in Japan.

[sperosp]

@CJAEY

ok, but I mean generally, not just performance but also in

[sperosp]

@CJAEY ok, but I mean in general, not just the NSX, all the honda. IMHO

[SeEsAw121221]

@sperosp Both companies make different kinds of cars for different purposes.

Try driving a honda in snow compared to a subaru.

[TheAudiTTfan]

02:12 LOL xD but still an awesome car, the RA-R

[4G93TRACE]

If you look carefully best motoring videos from 2001 you will notice for one reason lap times for both evo and Sti are getting higher and higher...I recall lap times in the 1´04.6X" range for the 2003 spec C and EVO VIII RS MR, of course battles against the NSX & GTR R-34 were pretty close...moreover, in the 98 BMI battle the EVO V RS marked the lap record of 1´04.50... why are they now in the 6sec range? have tsukuba changed the track distance? newer cars are really slower?...thats odd.

[DrKrFfXx000000000000]

@4G93TRACE I think it's because Evos are getting fatter every year. In short circuits like this, every kilo counts. Evo X is the fattest of them all.

[EnnesX]

@4G93TRACE Yeah because conditions never change.

[derbigpr500]

@4G93TRACE Tsukuba is a very specific track, it likes cars that are faster trough slow tight corners, and older EVO's were better trough suck corners because of less weight and smaller wheelbase. Newer EVO's are very powerful cars tuned more for higher speed tracks. You will see often that cars like Lambo's or Ferrari's on tsukuba arent much faster per lap than Impreza STI for example, because its such a track layout.

[bryan4202]

lol a turbo 2.? wat ever the fuck it is all wheeldrive cant beat a 20year old V6 n/a SAD ;(

[pin3appel]

tsuchiya wins no matter what car lol

[Spo0L]

@pin3appel i love tsuchiya but he pushes his limits like crazy, watch the evo vs sti video when hes driving the MR youll see, amazing driver though

[EnnesX]

@pin3appel Tsuchiya won because he was in the fastest car by far. The difference is not that obvious on a smaller track like Tsukuba but the NSX-R is the fastest production 280ps JDM and the only 280ps JDM to break 8" at nordschlife

[poemmaker6]

Sweet Jesus!!!!! 2:11, and I thought my car had bad wheel hop.

[DarkneSsDream2XTC]

Street fighter Speed2

[steph462000]

this race is rainning.. if not rainning, nsx will be faster than this laptime.. impreza can't catch nsx for SURE!!

[goldsgym1244]

it beats it in anouther race i saw aswell in the dry so yeah it can :D

[rafa281]

Nice arm plug-in at 1:30 LOL.

[TheVtieg6]

The civic was only 1 second behind the nsx so you got to show it respect.

[hotdognobun]

Yeah 1 sec while at the start! it was dirt slow

[TheVtieg6]

hotdognobun

Actually no because we are talking about quickest lap so the beggining of the first lap dont count.

[c312eal]

@TheVtieg6 Civic gotta show respect because the NSX is the Civic's Grandpa (:

[djayuknow]

hatori lauched the pisss outta that evo loll

[virensti]

the STi RA-R would've won if that and the NSX launched in 1st and 2nd.. they were both EQUALLY paced throughout the entire race.. so on the launch the RA-R would've left the nsx.. and then the RA-R would've won.. Subaru's RULE!! evo go suck some eclipse exhaust!! lol STI FOREVER !!!

[domaniking]

its funny how a 400hp turbo ra-r subaru keeps up with a 290hp nsx type r and also its n/a

[domaniking]

i meant 320hp ra-r

[virensti]

the nsx has more than just 290.its got about 300 and whats more the NSX is in a different class from these machines.. the NSX is old but the way it handles and drives it's probabl one of the fastest stock jap cars at the time.. even now the only thing that would be faster would be the new Nissan GT-R.The NSX never competed with the STi's and the evo's cause it was soo much faster and superior and whats more Turbo cars are not necessarily faster than N/A cars.. take the Dodge Viper for example..

[domaniking]

the nsx type r is probably the fastest n/a car in japan

[letsgotomycrip]

and keiichi is the best driver in japan too

[virensti]

Yup I think it is, cant think of another N/A jap that's faster, and whats more the nsx has a 3.0 engine (3.2 actually? not sure) so you compare that to the STi's 2.0 litre engine, It does explain as to why the NSX is that fast. :)

[Zlaja16]

sti's 2.5 and it does not explain why the nsx is faster...it is faster because mid engine RWD and much better handling....it does also cost like 3 times more

[Zlaja16]

2 liter turbo with same HP.... so that does nt explain why the nsx is faster...the reason its faster is that its a mid engined RWD platform and also many other things that add up to a cost probably twice of the subaru that is behind it

[virensti]

yup very true.. not 2.5 litre.. thats the non japanese sti's. these cars in this vid are the JDM's and they have 2 litre engines which rev up to 8500RPM. NSX isn't all that more supreme than the STi's though. as I said earlier, the RA-R would've beaten it if they had launched in 1st and 2nd. cause the RA-R and nsx were together the entire race.

[c312eal]

@virensti Everyone is knows the NSX - R NA2 is better than the STi's

It's the king of the JDMs for a long time. Fact is that it was a semi wet track, so the STi had the 4WD advantage. If it was a dry track the STi wouldn't be able to see the NSX. And the NSX is way more Supreme than the STI. All aluminum chassis 1270kg 3.2L N/A 290hp MR layout. (:

[proudsubaruwrxowner]

why do they hold the brake and press the gas?

[Emerald13]

Never heard of a heel-toe downshift?

Seems strange to be a wrx owner and not know of it.

[machichi69]

your subaru must be ashamed of you :[

[proudsubaruwrxowner]

your parents must be ashamed of you when they walked in on you and a another guy fucking each other with no lube

[machichi69]

ok, you can make up stupid gay stories to try and retaliate, but end of the story, you didnt know what heel-toeing is, and your username is proudsubaruwrxowner, which is sad, veryyy sad that you didnt know it.

so yea, you fail

[proudsubaruwrxowner]

i used to own one, i dont anymore. i own a porsche carrera now, so at the end of the day im driving an $80,000 porsche and you ride in your mom's car

[machichi69]

ha, another person who drives a porsche and doesnt know how to drive...

good for you, ill take you out on a track anyday

[proudsubaruwrxowner]

i dont see any video's of you driving bud. but when you upload them show me how its done since you are so much better than me at driving. thats good you're at least better than me at something. what car do you drive mr. know it all?

[machichi69]

many, but my favorite thing to ride would be your mother.

ok im done with this wackass youtube flame war, anything else posted by you will just be ignored, for a dude who can afford a porsche, youre fucking immature

[dc52002]

[}{]onda All The Way!!! NSX-R the real JDM circuit King!!!

[viCciCTR]

Damn this NSX is fast :-O

[steflotti105]

tbf the nsx doesnt really have a place in that race..

sti ownage as always ;)

[steflotti105]

jdm civic type r's are so much nicer than the shit we get in england

[Masrider555]

Luckli theres only one EVO if not Subaru will

become a loser car ever.

[sssdfrfwrgr]

no. the only evo that could ever beat the type rar sti or the spec c is the evo fq 400 because it has lots more horespower.

[Masrider555]

You do't talking shit if they use EVO FQ400,the whole Subaru will be kicking off by EVO.

[sssdfrfwrgr]

yes the fq 400 would win because it has 400hp. but if the type 25 impreza was used it would beat the fq 400.

[Masrider555]

But if FQ400 vs that type 25,Subaru will be fly off on the track.

[sssdfrfwrgr]

no. why do you think that?

[Masrider555]

Well of couse i can say that,many years ago,

when EVO 4 was slower abit than STI but now

the new EVO has more betters than Subaru

already.

[alyraver]

22b would

[jmazzica101189]

they need to find a more aggressive driver for that RA-R that thing can take fast/harder turns

[scoobystu555]

i agree, that things is a beast

[revcom301]

Add the Evo IX MR RS into the mix and its bye bye shitty RAR.

[sti302man]

don't think so buddy.

[sti302man]

MR RS???? LOL at you buddy.

[DistanTThunder2]

haha yeah right. evos suck.

[sssdfrfwrgr]

evos suck man. subaru for the win. what the hell is an mr rs? never heard of that evo.

[Masrider555]

Subaru then SUCK men,and those Subaru wins all are chickting if not Subaru going to get notting

[alyraver]

what?

[str8guinness]

I NEVER HEARD OF NO RA-R B4 NOW.

[sssdfrfwrgr]

okay and?

[weezy17ward]

Man I thought for sure that the RA-R trans was going to drop at the start the way the gear knob was moving. But damn that launch was SICK!!!

[paperchizzle]

lol me too, it looks cool though wish my car did that

[fistoh]

i'm surprised the 350z couldn't take the fd2r

[scoobystu555]

type rar is awesome

[novawavers]

it start on the back of pack!!!

DAMn RA-R,...nica launch!!!

[ron3il]

japanes has thoes funny shoes

[rcmodder]

yeah but u know those shoes really help.

It helps u feel the throtle better.

With the shoes I have u really can't feel shit, but when I bought these Pumas for the track I can feel how much power I was giving.

[bennychan723]

that launch in RAR was nut....!

[soarersupra]

YAY for the NA

[77chatham]

Honda's are holding this show down!

[antandant]

they braking and throttle in the same time,what was that?

[paperchizzle]

heel & toe

[trillakilla]

i wonder what one will win in the snow

[duffman61089]

hahaha ra-r subie no doubt

[numbernwords]

I love Civic Type-R

[dannynacif]

its the STI RA-A Spec C.

only 300 made, then i quess,

you should compare it the to the FQ-400...

[KuostA]

rar spec doesn't put out 400hp..

[v8subie]

who said it made 400 hp?

[KuostA]

He's saying 'you should compare it to the fq400', meaning compare the spec-C STI to a Evo that is putting out 400 horsepower. Obviously, wouldn't be quite fair..

[scoobystu555]

no it eudnt cus the rar is 320 bhp

[sti302man]

no evo 4g63 dumbass is talking shit, come on evo guys we have to hear the blah blah blaaah on why the evo lost to two impreza's. give us an answer on why it lost.

[scoobystu555]

the spec c type ra-r would cain all those cars, its basically a road track car. its so much li8ghter than the normal spec c and quicker, musta had a shit driver lol

[Stanger182]

I sure love testing my cars on this track in GT4!

[Numlkscr]

all of u like to talk big

[toholycow]

I a agree with deriwhiteswift... Sometimes, pride should not take so much precedence in such comparison. Most German sports cars do run circle around American cars. We are talking physics and Engineering... You are displacing them with your pride and passion. Not the same thing...

[polinimotori]

EJ20 is the Best.

[vernonjunior]

wtf everybody get to the subject here there are no american or german cars in the dam video anyway

[AMIRB11S]

hwo is call the americane cars the best in world?? and between what the german?? :S i think ur wrong wrong wrong,u have what u called american muscle was the viper & corvette onnnnnly,i dont think there isa another cars at america can challenge the rest of german's sport cars,give u a chance what if RAR put 500 hp and race a corvette.......remember 2.0 l only for japan for 7000 what??????

[rcmodder]

I'm sure your making a good point, but....

NO ONE UNDERSTANDS WHAT YOUR SAYING WITH YOUR BROKEN ENGLISH!!!!!!

I wonder if u speak like this in real life?

[lovevtec328]

it is actually quite amazing that the Civic Type R wif 225hp is just .3 and .6 slower than the WRX spec C and the Evo 9..

and the nsx is simply the best car on the grid.

[oldgc8]

agree with the NSX but i want to see what will happen if everyone swap drivers...

[ovrbst1]

good enginering + FWD = Civic Type R

[bennychan723]

good enginering + RWD = NSX Type-R

[c312eal]

@bennychan723 You mean Honda + Ayrton Senna + RWD = NSX Type - R

[agagaga23]

NSX R is the best n/a,

[zestarm]

NSX ... best n/a

Subaru RAR ... awesome acceleration

[deriwhiteswift]

I like the way the subaru rar launched.. and love the way NSX-R driven

[nicspeccra]

As i understand it the nsx is classed as a supercar designed by Arton Senna whereas the others are high performance saloon cars if this is fact i think the impreza's did great also if the nsx and the rar started side by side i think there would have a different outcome, i own a spec c ra just like the spec c in the vid and im well impresed with the outcome over the evo, impreza's rock, sti till i die.

[AzamatBagatov101]

GO SUBIE!!!! That RA-R is a beast, did you see how the shifter rattled like a monster!! Wish they were legal where i live, the best we can get is the regular sti.

[J90lude]

Did The Civic Type R beat the Fairlady?

[bennychan723]

the launch in the RA-R was nut.

[carby0328]

the fairlady sucks !

[DLN78]

It looks to be a wet track that day which would benefit the 3 awd cars. If it was dry, the nsx would've demolished those cars. The RAR is nonetheless badass. As a matter of fact, all those cars are badass.

[trackx07]

1. I thought the MR would have been able to stay up with them more

2. The RAR is badass

3. I cant believe a fwd beat 3 very fast awd cars

[burning77]

"3. I cant believe a fwd beat 3 very fast awd cars " WTF are u talking about. NSX-R is not a fwd car. only fwd car there was the civic type r

[deriwhiteswift]

stupid moron.. the NSX-R is a RWD car

[trackx07]

wow your the moron, i think i got the point after burning77, so your comment was a waste of time, go shoot yourself, o and i bet i know a lot more about cars than you do, just got my fact wrong, looked it up and found out

[deriwhiteswift]

what didi you say?? you know cars better than me?? fuck you.. you didnt even know the NSX was a RWD car. LOL!! Poor you.

[trackx07]

ok atleast i admitted i got my facts wrong, i garuntee you you'll do it more than i will, o and i bet i spend more time learining about cars than you do, so yea i bet i do know more than you

[deriwhiteswift]

ya ya ya... whatever! people know who is the right one.

[trackx07]

ok germany idiot, which car has better performance? corvette z06 or the porsche gt2 or gt3, o and you can even add in the audi r8, you probably don't know the setup to the cars, their performance numbers, how much potential they have, or any of the other history. o and again yea i got my facts mixed up with the nsx, doesn't mean i'm a moron

[deriwhiteswift]

i really dont give a fuck bout the question you give.. coz it has no relation at all. so stop posting your god damn trash into someone else video. FUCKING AMERICAN!!! No nothing but shit.

[trackx07]

well americans are obvioulsy better than you stupid germans cause our cars are better, think about that and kill yourself, o and of course you're not answering the question cause the answer is an american car which is HALF the price

[deriwhiteswift]

i c.. american cars are cheesy... please don't make your self feels stupid by saying american cars are better than germans.. people know which country producing the best car in the world. You don't have to say anything.. its fucking useless and pointless. got that bitch??!! Go fuck your mom!!

[trackx07]

actually yes i can say that american cars are better than german, did i say american cars are better than all cars? no. german cars have flawed designs(porsche) to heavey(audi) and overpriced compared to american cars. also american cars outperform german cars, and i'm not just talking straight line, i'm talking about nurburgring, which i would hope you know about, go look at the times

[deriwhiteswift]

i see your fucking Z06 car has bigger power than m3 or even an m6. but one thing i know is you shit got more displacements than ours. You got 7000cc and has the power output only for 505hp?? common bitch!! can you all fuckers do better than that? maybe that your american shit muscle with that big engine capacity, which is 7 liters, should be compared with our Porsche 996 GT2 RS or Porsche Carrera GT.

thank you trash talker, for giving me this chance to humiliate you in front of many people.

[trackx07]

you didn't prove anything except american cars have more potential than german cars, o and for the price of a carrera gt i could easily build an american muscle car which would destory it on drag and around the track. and if you look up the gt2 rs the z06 is just as fast and half the price.  you humiliated yourself, i'm done with your ignorant self

[paperchizzle]

gt2 will whup a z06 any day, gt3 will beat z06 in corners, u r in denial

[trackx07]

yea ok sure, the gt2 is a good car, too expensive, but the gt3 is actually a second behind the z06 at the nurbergring

[H22A7]

NSX NA all the way baby

[Predwolf2]

Good stuff. That launch in the RA-R was nuts.

[w0nt0nboy]

subaru pwns all!

[aznxboix7o4]

hell yea subaru ftmfw!

[guirgis2005]

subaru ftw .... 2nd and 3rd place :)
