Porsche 911 GT3 & Nismo 380RS Touge Test - Trackcar Shootout - Best Motoring

[freshklinki93]

I do come from Germany, but Porsche is just crap and not even nearly as good as Nissan!!!

[radyabagaskara]

i want an FR Evo

[DRFTmonkeh]

lol damn DK callin out the nismo boys

[n11lc2]

ayc cuts into the power doesn't it? might be good for roads you don't know but it makes it hard to use slow in fast out

[Dr1FtMaNiAc1]

that porshe doesnt belong there

[derbigpr500]

I love how he randomly says "driving is easy." while going trough a forest on a twisty narrow road at 130-140 km/h.

[Learnastro]

it wld be interesting to see Keiichi take part in WRC

[XenoRacing]

never understood why the called the 380RS a "superleggera" (meaning superlight; italian) when its japanese. 380rs shupparighto would be better.

[Cripton805]

Gotta love the stock Evo's diffusor <3

Anyway, all cars performed very well.

[2jzgtejza80]

IMO Porsche GT3 and NSX -R are best option for track days, even EVO RS. 380RS sounds little lazy, but probably have lot's of torque at whole rpm range

[jonathanliu1991]

youtube ads f**king sux

[lifecon1]

how can he drive so fast and well without powersteering. when i had a civic on those roads i could hardly turn even close to that.

[ZeerXX]

I don't know why people are claiming this to be biased. This is a different type of course. If you saw a Porsche loose in a rally race would you still complain??? It's the same thing here. Touge is way different than actual race tracks. And you are absolutely ignorant if you think they are always letting jap cars win on this show. There is a ton of races where they show jap cars losing to german ones.

[gstaraftari]

dude ... what a beautiful road is it

[ShindaDesu]

i hope thats a one way road D:

[ebradahusla]

If I could drive half as good as this guy, I'd walk around in a tank top holding my nuts 24/7.

[Jamzkangster]

Porsche 911 GT3 would spank any of these cars on a real track.

Laguna Seca, etc. Classic RWD with manual gear box and best power to weight ratio than all these cars. Fastest acceleration, best handling, and the most skills required.

[matt37075]

you cant say the japanese are biased cuz they chose a japanese car because three out of four of them were japanese in the first place! your all just butt-hurt your favorite car didnt win! i wanted the 380 to be the best but im not gonna bitch about it and make dumb shit up the evo is a great car and im going to trust a professional driver that ACTUALLY drove all the cars rather than myself.

[dojOdRiFTeR]

@matt37075 BAD I TAKE BUT I WHAT I SAID

[e2emceesquared]

@dsmdeegen actually if you consider a second year engineering student an engineer, then I guess I am one here.

[crazyphilly555]

how can we upgrade to have torque?

[nitrotrigger]

@crazyphilly555 Longer stroke crankshaft is always a good idea.

[Athens2k4]

nsx-R

[aegirer]

now Porsche places last in a bunch of Jap cars LOL!!!!!!!!!!

[christosswc]

The GT3 looks like a freaking shark in a pool of dolphins in this comparison.

Totally out of place, more for the open seas.

[crzygutrsnobrdr]

whats the difference between the nismo 370z with 350hp and the one tested here?

[riflebore]

@crzygutrsnobrdr : The 370Z is revamped modern day Z car... new headlights and tailights design manifest the latest model design for the car... and an increase in power as well (i.e. Z34 chassis code). The Z car you're seeing on this video is based on a 350Z (i.e. Z33 chassis code) -- Give a good look at the headlights and tailights... Except that, being the 380RS it's given some aerodynamic treatment and power increase by Nismo. =]

[crzygutrsnobrdr]

@riflebore i was wondering if there was a difference between the regular nismo 370z with 350 hp and the nismo 380rs ;) you are full of info tho!

[zeoncrux]

It is true that the GT3 is meant for open tracks.. not mountain tracks like these...

[hmarkvitz]

This is too bias for me...

[thatnigga54]

35k for a evo from the dealer new..wow that how much my boss spend on maintenance for his porsche every year hahah

[dicktp]

Damn the gt3...

anyday!!!

[malaki0a]

Of course he is not comfortable in the GT3, it doesn't have TC-SST and S-AWC comprising of ACD, AYC, ASC, S-ABS and in the future maybe also ASS and RCS.

But most important of all, he is not German, he is Japanese!

[porschturb]

He stayed around 4-5k rpm in the porsche in the bends. Its meant to be driven near the redline in tight winding roads like that. Does not seem he was comfortable pushing it in the GT3.

[riflebore]

@porschturb : Maybe it's because of the gear ratios (?) I believe the GT3's got quite some tall gear ratios and may not fit that particular corner of the gunsai touge (?)

[stroky]

..japan cars...always win on japanese shows....

at the rest of the world its different...

[boujouj]

go fuck ur japanese cars , the porsche still the best even if u look threw ur in car camera u ll see that the porsche was the fastest and the best handeling and looking car , so go dig a hole in the ground and berried ur self

[riflebore]

@boujouj : Porsche's heritage and lineage has always been racing. Japanese cars are, well, performance wise they are there, but not necessarily racing-wise. Making them fit for racing would require tuning. Although even Porsche's need tuning too... but there's always something about this legendary brand that's a track performer right out of the factory! I love Porsche too... but if I am asked if I love any Japanese sports cars -- it has to be a tuned version to compete thereof.

[LuvHsien]

king of touge lan evo..

[julingy]

lol those cars are all completely different and its obvious a supertight track like that would be best for the evo

[bonds911]

evo is the best

[Douglas6250]

I don't think rear engined cars like the Porsche 911 would be suitable for the touge since it requires quite a lot of grip on the front tyres.

[97CivicTypeR]

fuck me look at that nsxR go!

[dkrypto911]

man this guy has such a nice job...

[TypeRCsl]

a JDM test and a JDM winer what surprise!!! Porshe is the best !!

[ygyf]

160 km/h in this narrow road.... very scary for me!

[xEmerzon]

I don't think the gt3 has wishbone suspension probably why it was hopping xP

[evolover999]

evo ftw

[ekroyalty]

Why didn't Keiichi try shifting the GT3 into 2nd gear ?

He was in 3rd and shifting up to 4th at 7K rpm .... why ?

[sugepoola]

HAHA prosche is LAST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[earlray156]

i JUST CAN'T IMAGINE THE evo competing with these so called race cars ??Being 4 doors and all! just think if they make a two door they will blow you guys away with that funky looking body style thats just embarassing ,, Honda needs to set the record straight !

[Amberdennoa]

huhuhm i really don't know why it's so hard to find some cool guys on you tube!

[bonds911]

@Amberdennoa you cant find cool guys on youtube cuz cool guys have other shit to do and dont comment to much like the other 99 percent of nooobs who dont have a life and try to act tuff on the web lol

[SuYpIA]

@bonds911 "nooobs who dont have a life" just like you then?

[bonds911]

@SuYpIA ahh wtf so i answer your question nicely and you talk shit fuck you then bitch aha

[SuYpIA]

@bonds911 You didn't answer my question you retard, I didn't even ask one

[bonds911]

@SuYpIA ahh you did fuckn idiot you asked why are too many haters onj youtube

[TheDaveler]

I <3 GTchannel

[bitnissan]

it would be so scary to ride with him in the passenger seat

[spyxter]

@bitnissan On the contrary. It's far scarier to be driven by someone of inferior skill.

[bitnissan]

i didn't mean that as a dis to the driver at all. haha i get these thumbs down why? i just think it would be scary because he pushes the limits and i would be on the edge of my seat. i guess people just took my meaning out of context.

[Sandman85Nihon]

@spyxter hell yea i know this feeling and it sucks

[JBlade007]

he sounded like he was going to shit himself in the evo lol

but they shouldnt have used it in the 1st place its the only 4dr car there

[NigguhJason]

Before watching this video I had a feeling the 350z will win, and guess what, it did win. Why did I expect it to win? Because GTChannel is bias for Nissan.

[Ohios27]

actually the evo won

[dyajima]

GT3 has a DVD player?

[e2emceesquared]

No, its a SatNav System. Satellite Navigation System.

[JJJinez]

looks like it´s a aftermath head unit,´cause Porsche´s are not equipped with that kind of head units and i guess it has dvd

[scarfaceXtc]

obviously hes gonna put jap cars in first.Fuck that the porsche is the winner in my book.

[e2emceesquared]

@scarfaceXtc Its not the fact of the car being Japanese, it is how well they drive on the course they are on. With the GT3's Autobahn tuned dampening and Autobahn tuned gear ratios, its not suited for this Tougue course. That is why its in last. Also typically all Japanese tuned cars are tuned with super close gear ratios because of the limited racing courses and back roads in Japan. One more thing is that nobody really cares about your opinion. Thats why we're watching this video.

[scarfaceXtc]

Well if u didnt care about my opinion why even waste your time replying to me? Nice one bud

[e2emceesquared]

Genius, probably out of the couple of hundred people that read your comment I'm the only one that replied. Like I said before. No one really cares about your opinion. I'm telling you so because someone has to.

[dsmdeegen]

@e2emceesquared dick.... so your the engineer here. we all see, you know it all.

[Dataacid]

@e2emceesquared The fact is, we are watching a japanese made test. i have watched many of them, and all the times the porsches come behind the jap cars . . .

[Limitexxx]

@e2emceesquaredI know its a late respond,but do you reallize why the GT3 was built?well,for sure not to be driven on autobahn.that place is reserved for the Carrera and Turbo.GT3is a pure track car.one of the best of its kind,and these japanese simply discriminating it.to think that they compare a 20yrs old NSX to a new 997 GT3...btw.why don't they take acceleration,steering,torque etc.into account instead of balancing and fun factor???is that a test for children?where are the lap times anyway?

[danelio]

@e2emceesquared one thing about your comment thats incorrect . the gt3's drivetrain and suspension are not tuned for the autobahn(highway). its the most track tuned out of all the 911's and is made to be driven hard. everything about the gt3 is focused on pure performance driving on the track, not cruising on the highway. the 911 gt3 is one of the best race-able cars you can buy, thats why so many private race companies use them, with minimal tuning. the other cars are just easier to drive.

[hadabenz]

@danelio You are correct. But just to add on that, the GT3 is designed for high speed tracks (thus the rear wing for high speed cornering downforce) such as the nordschleife, not touge course. Cheers.

[danelio]

@hadabenz the nurburgring has several touge like sections, it is the toughest track in the world. i think these cars are pretty even, but a different kinda of driving was needed for the porsche , and it wasn't applied. its the harder car to drive but it could have been driven much faster. they even use gt3s in rally and hillclimb races and it does very well. its basicly a race car. put race tires on all those cars and it would be a different story.

[hadabenz]

@danelio I agree with what you're saying. A 911 requires a completely different approach to driving technique indeed. Break before turns, steady throttle while turning, and hard throttle to exit the turns with utmost traction due to rear bias. However the touge course is relatively short as well, with a lot of Low Speed "Ss" and/or "chicanes". But again, every cars in the hands of Tsuchiya will fly at their best at Touge.

[danelio]

@hadabenz yup. put walter rohrl behind that gt3 steering wheel.!

[maybe000itsme]

@e2emceesquared the gt3 is not tuned for the autobahn...its tuned for european tracks

[jamesjdm]

@scarface

riiiggghhttt and when a euro show test the cars there is no bias at all right? stfu and accept that on those roads the 911 gt3 is not as at home as it would be on a track. and really, who gives a fvck about your book and what wins in it.

[DocWolph]

@scarfaceXtc

The thing is I think that it was a GT3, a track car, up against three cars that were not so tightly measured for track duty. If it were a GT2 or Carrera S, then the only reason why it would be on the bottom of the list is that he's biased.

Also the 380Z-RS looked like it was not as solidly built as the other cars. You could see stuff bowing and flexing in the cockpit. The Shifter looked like it was flapping a bit, too.

[jowan7]

i think evo 4 me :D

[sdlausen]

I love how the NSX is always used despite it's age. After all, I think it's one of the best cars ever made.

[XenoRacing]

The NSX-R was only 5 years old when they made this vid lol

[sdlausen]

In today's car world, 5 years makes a big difference in terms of performance and technology. As an example, just look at the ever increasing HP gains while MPG continues to increase.

[bonds911]

@sdlausen na i think the evo 1 had better mpg than the evo 10 idiot lol evo 9 isthe best

[ebradahusla]

@sdlausen You forgot to add the decreasing CO2 emissions, increasing HP and MPG even after government mandating all these safety regulations. Very few or maybe less than 5% of cars built in 2000 would pass 2012 regulations.

[jonathanyip343]

@sdlausen My 10 years old honda still makes 120hp per liter and 30MPG on Highway :D

[sdlausen]

@jonathanyip343 What could you possibly be driving other than an s2000?

[jonathanyip343]

@sdlausen Sir, You are totally correct :D

[sdlausen]

@jonathanyip343 I have a tastefully modded RSX-s at the moment, I'm actually looking for an 08-09 Ap2 as we speak ;)

[jonathanyip343]

@sdlausen Goodluck for finding a good one. Go to S2KI dot com for FAQ and Infos

[sdlausen]

@jonathanyip343 Thanks brah.

[Tim8336]

lol of course the non-Japanese car comes last

[Computenator]

ironic... ''how would these cars feel on the streets and in the real world'' well i would want to see someone driving in real life on the roads like that...

[OmarA27]

yea thas he wanted a nissan to rev like a honda holla;)

[carnut666]

it basically means mountain pass. although i think touge literally translates to just "pass".

[NismoPWNS]

thx dude

[TheVtieg6]

touge is winding road

[giriphotography]

why thumbs down ?

[Elmo187]

first off, i don't know WHY this guy has 4 thumbs down since he was asking a question and making a guess. you people are absolute retards.

anyway....

a touge is not a track perse, nor is it a type of race. it refers to winding roads through mountains.

[XenoRacing]

Touge literally means "Mountain Pass" (passage) in Japanese. So basically its just the mountain roads..

[seroyer2]

The RS GT3 has a shorter gear box I wander if he would like it better.

[tigercrap]

I am right handed, and I could never imagine shifting with my left! It's a right/left brain thing. Weird I can ride a bike one-handed with my left, but crash if I used my right. I have to wipe with my right. Eat with my right...

[Mcstikman]

@tigercrap Actually when you're in the car it just works. I have a RHD JDM levin but when I drive LHD USDM spec vehicles it feels just as natural.

[CloudAge]

Why are these models so old!!

[Elmo187]

because the videos are old!!

[sidewayznut2009]

I don't know if anyone else has this problem or if the video is still processing maybe but it stops at 0:41 and I tried refreshing.

Somebody reply if it starts working.

[seroyer2]

@sidewayznut2009 ya same thing hapend to me, clear you cookies in your browser.

[yungtris77]

it worked fine for me but i know the problem ur talking about. i got it on another vid i was watching.

[GOOSEej]

id still prefer NSX over all then the EVO... :)
