Carrera Invasion - Porsche 997 Giant Test & Battle - Best Motoring International

[shobin05]

i love to press the brakes of 911 in video games, the joy of watching the rear brake light switch from the rear window to the spoiler is priceless lol

[blaziankhmer]

i didn't watch it yet, but i feel like another bias review from best motoring. some how the jap cars always ends up ahead.

[DeScRuN]

00:27 of 2012 and I'm watching this!

[martinezgtman]

i dont understand.. the nsx stops in 90 m in braking test, and in the race, made advances in braking points. sounds like favoritism to JDM cars. although generally acepted to be an excellent car.

[reartraction]

@martinezgtman agree.. as I don't understand how 280hp can overtake a ferrari 360 with 400hp and 1290kg weight.. seems to play with gran turismo, where jpn cars were evidently favourites.

[AnDyMaksoud]

That 350z is such a piece of shit

[RFreigeldorff]

@AnDyMaksoud

come on. it plays in a different league. no reason for obscenities. 

[SyCannon]

NSX at its time was a really defined machine. Look at what Porsche did at that time and thats why you didnt see an old school Porsch race the NSX.

[cirilobeto]

NSX-R had the fastest lap time. Any argument against it is invalid.

[Resnorth]

The can't drive fast cars as good as NSX-R. That's all.

[Resnorth]

@Resnorth *they (BM)

[lucrativeelfmongrel]

That Ferrari sounds fantastic! So does the NSX. I'll have both please.

[MagicAyrtonforever]

I like the NSX-R a great deal.. but would take a Carrera S any day :-)

[masterkill28]

?????this is carrera 996!!!

[DRP996]

lol at the commens. NSX = crap. Porsche owns in everything. How can you fix something like stopping distances at high speed? You can't idiots. NSX is slow man!

[john4short]

@DRP996 ... I agree that the NSX is slower & older , But your insulting a car that was designed by the BEST driver in the world (Ayrton Senna) ... The NSX can handle better & is more stable because of it's bang on weight distribution .. All the NSX needs is a supercharger or turbocharger & it MIGHT beat the Porsche ... Ayrton Senna, the guy knew his car when he drove ... God Bless Man ...

[siraff2]

I don't like to call something a fix but when a car with the same body and nearly 100hp less clocks 7.1mph more on the straight something isn't right.

[blackseries99]

NSX-R is damn impressive...Love to have one.

[nancycolreone]

carerra s = curry rice

[neezer77]

A++ video

[lucrativeelfmongrel]

I'm surprised by the 360, other tests I've seen it has eaten the Porsche Turbo, and the 997 Carrera S. Although all these shows are different. I love that NSX though!

[2Gtrevo]

@lucrativeelfmongrel because the TURBO in this race suffer a overheating ... very sad :(

[JimmyChannel1]

uploaded on my birthday!

[eeeen321]

the brakes on the 360 are fine..... THAT example was more than likely worn due to usage...... The 360 should have taken it I think. And how modified was that 996turbo? 20mm lower than the standard 911, or 20mm than the standard S?

12.2 seems kinda quick for a "oem" 996turbo as well?? no?

[themarine12]

best motoring international is THE BEST automotive show of all time.

[lamboisking]

@themarine12 in second comes topgear and last fifth gear

[alfamonk]

Love BMI....much as I like TopGear this programme makes Clarkson look like a clown.

[Pergiacomo]

@alfamonk

Exactly , well said !!

[sdlausen]

@alfamonk Clarkson is purposely clownish. Why do you think it has such a large following?

[neezer77]

@alfamonk Indeed.

[Kuriousgorge87]

where can i find the song at 6:23 ??? is there a best motoring soundtrack or something? lol

[Turbulence654321]

I like how everyone's talking about NSX's...Porsche was the star here :)

[doofesh]

At 25:06 and 25:16 , why do the drivers increase the rpm at turns?

[icefox1983]

@doofesh if I didn't misunderstand the question, that's called heel and toe downshifting. revving up is to match the wheel speed under higher gear ratios

[doofesh]

@icefox1983 Thanks

[MarMPB]

I know the nsx-r is lighter, but even then I think it has more HP than the specs says. Here in the youtube I found a video of a stock nsx (not R) with 247 rwhp, that is close to 290 hp at the engine. I would bet the nsx-r would get 300hp...

But it's a gem of a car!!!

[rmcld]

NSX-R truly is a pure race car, it´s cornering speed is so hard to match, one of my favourite cars of all time! love Porsches too, but GT2, GT3 are the race track carreras, this one´s are the "normal" ones.

Peace for all car lovers!

[ljguy300]

Japanese cars dont even compare to Euro cars. What has Europe given us. Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, Gumpert, Noble, Catharam, atom, lotus Japan has given us the NSX R, and the corolla. They are too proud of their cars, they are too proud of themselves, they dont consider themselves as a part of the world, I did a lot of research on japan for school, and i am sorry but they are too proud. they kill whales because they think there is enough. THIS TEST WAS BIASED

[shift9303]

@ljguy300

Jesus, I can't deny or prove that the video was biased, but you look like a total douche with all these posts in one video. Yeah, I think Japanese are too proud, I'm Chinese after all; but come on, a video doesn't need half of its comments to be from one person.

As for the video, if they really wanted to be biased, they could have put Tuschiya or Gan san in the NSX. ;)

And what about the less glamorous euros? Shall we compare those with the jap roid machines? ;)

[ljguy300]

@shift9303 ok point taken, i apologize. I feel the test was biased due to them saying that the nsx was on better tires and better struts. I felt that the nsx had better tires and better suspension ergo better handling. Also the honda is a lot lighter then the competition contributing to the handling. Dont get me wrong i appreciate great cars no matter the origin, this includes the nsx i just think they could have made a better car just by giving it a bit more grunt. Stupid gentemans agreement.

[shift9303]

@ljguy300

No problem, I realise I look like a douche my self, so I apologize too.

Everything would point to the euros being faster; a la more power for a longer track. I think that you are partially right in that the test wasn't fair. If they really wanted to test it correctly, they should have eleminated the driver variable and had the each driver run time attacks in each car and then compared. But that doesn't make for good T.V. does it? Sigh.

[KarlowBOI]

aw its 997 MK1

[ljguy300]

THIS TEST WAS BIASED

[DarkSoul346]

@ljguy300 not

[rsx123]

I love how the Carrera S outbraked the NSX-R by a mile in the test, yet in all best motoring videos the NSX-R always out brakes the Porsches.

[CaptSaveAHo3]

NSX R Rules!

[Senninha1960]

LMAO at all you ppl!!

Everyone has different opinions which is great, lets just keep the bull shit to a minimum LOL

[mavtais]

OK, let's stop the internet bashing. Geesh. We all love cars.

I own a 350Z, and they are right. You have to drive it "neat" and keep your line tight to make it fast. When the rear steps out, it is fun but very, very slow. Too bad they did this test before the Bridgestone Potenza 050A's made it onto the wheels and the HR engine. It might have made the Z look a little better because the 050A's are much better matched for the Z (I know cuz I have had both 040 and 050A tires).

[MaxwellReviresco]

That's all youtubers seem to do huh; 350Zs are a 30k car new, just being considered competition is an achievement its self, lol. I drove my friends 350Z for a few hours, the car is a great little go cart. Just being in it for 20 mins and I felt like Ive driven it for years! I was drifting circles around speed bumps in empty parking lots with ease. I even beat a GTO at a stop light race...dont think he knew how to drive.

[skyfaze]

ljguy jdont try to sound intellectual with our falsified opinions okay haha just stfu u faggot haha

[ljguy300]

@skyfaze i wish you made sense so i can understand you.

[Nismoleb89]

this is old... new cars own porsche's all day. GT-R and F430...

[krirks]

why people wanted to compare GT3 and NSX-R

just because it's both factory tuned?

so every car on this track should have been a tuned car?

would u think GT3 or 360CS or 430 scuderia are fair to the old NSX with much lower price tag !!?

[tafka100]

God those biased tests make me angry.

Look at the ferrari drives footwork when he says

"got to do something with the brakes" etc, if the brakes are bad why the fuck is he feathering the brake pedal ????? Retarded.

[AndrewMacedonia]

lol @ the shoes the guys wearing

[spyxter]

Fanboyism FTL.

[TPNEWYORKER]

How does a 350Z have ANY chance against ANY of those cars. Unless there's some serious modding going on, even the older NSX would kill that thing

[Alextan168]

@ljguy300 oh ya... 4got to tell u tat this NSX is factory tune ^^ means if u pruchase new NSX-R it'll be the same as NSX-R in this video....

[Alextan168]

@ljguy300 jus watch da GT race....NSX always in front... but currently Skyline show it;s power with bigger engine... in term of conering... NSX really is 1 of the king....if u ever try sit in NSX, u'll know wat i'm talkin abt

[ljguy300]

@Alextan168 right

[ljguy300]

buddy do u know how many sports cars i have sat in? Including your lil precious nsx. Do you know? no So dont tell me to try and sit in one. The NSX in the vid had slick tires on and rock hard racing suspension set up for that track. they euro cars were road going with street radials, how is that fair at all? tell me that please?

[sdlausen]

@ljguy300 Even if they had better tires, the Porsches would have lost. Sadly, they broke down. BTW, why the hell do you hate Japanese cars so much? A true car enthusiast has an open mind about all brands and their unique capabilities. Also, EVERY culture is proud of their own shit. Tell me Germans aren't and get back to me. You're an enraged 17 year old fan boy who needs to get a little more experience with different brands. Take a chill pill please and grow a brain.

[ljguy300]

@sdlausen Cuz u know how old i am how many times i have been married and how many kids i got right? Cuz u know how many cars i have driven how many cars i own and how many i race right? My professional opinion is that this test was rigged and it was biased, thats all i said. Never once did i say that euro cars are better then jap cars. I was just commenting on how biased this test was, you are the one that appears to know my character and uses no discretion at attacking it.

[ljguy300]

sorry bmi i call bullshit on this vid. a ferrari loosing to a honda its clear that the race was tailerd towards the honda. they even said that the honda was set up for track use while the other cars were not. And is it just me or is Kurosawa a dick, i dunno why i just dont like him. i get that icky feeling like he is trying to pull the wool over my eyes.

[169FLOZ]

@ljguy300 You really don't know much about that NSX do you? Yes it's "just" a Honda. But just because a car is more expensive doesn't make it faster. An NSX-R has done a 7:56 lap around Nordschliefe, which is 13 seconds faster than the fastest time clocked by a 360 Modena.

[ljguy300]

@169FLOZ i never said "just" a honda i appreciate great engineering, it s just that in this vid it seems that the test was tailrd towards the nsx. Its just that ferrari was first a race car team that turned to making road cars to get enthusiasts to support the team. And honda makes wicked engines. i am not trying to bash the nsx i am bashing bmi cuz it seems the race was tailored for the nsx. I just get the feeling it wasnt a fair test thats all. it would be good to see nsxr vs. scudaria

[169FLOZ]

@ljguy300 The NSX-R and the Scuderia have run nearly identical or very close times on all the tracks they've both been tested on, so that would be an exciting race indeed.

[sdlausen]

@ljguy300 OK, how is this test tailored toward the NSX? 2 of the Porsches had malfunctions which shows you how unreliable Porsche is to begin with. Porsches are over engineered with too many breakable parts. You also forget how well the NSX handles. Another thing, why the HELL would you place a NSX against a Scuderia? You forget the last NSX-R is from 2002!!!! A 2008 super car vs a 2002. Hmmm... idiot.

[ljguy300]

@sdlausen here is the way i see it they are too proud of their nsxr to ever have it lose thats why they put it up against a couple sports car from europe that are road going sports car, still road going wir street radials. that car was a race track tuned car wit slick tires.y not get the gt3 rs or another race car with slick tires from europe like a scudaria, something bred for the track like that nsxr. they are too proud. All i am saying is level the playing field. What do you suggest? .

[sdlausen]

@ljguy300 The NSX-R is a factory tuned car like the rest of them. It's basically like every R model Honda has made. It's lighter, and with a tuned suspension, that's it. Same with the Integra R. If you ask me, this race is more of a price comparison to see how the new Porsches handle against other cars in the price range. The Porsche S here costs the same as the NSX. The 360 is more than double! Also, if you pay attention, the F430 has just debuted when this was filmed.

[ljguy300]

@sdlausen ok but grant me this, they are a proud bunch, and they love cars, particularly their own.

[sdlausen]

@ljguy300  Oh, very much granted on that.

[ljguy300]

so they would hate to have their own cars beaten on

their own tracks. nsx type s = sport car on the road

nsx type r = factory tuned race track sports car. you

wanna compare race car sports cars even the playing

field. made no sense. y all the thumbs down for

voicing an opinion? Cuz the test was not fair?

Suck a bag of dicks,

[ljguy300]

Are you serious Porsche's are over engineered with too many breakable parts? Porsche's have remained the same formula from the start, rear engine for grip tear eye drop shape for aerodynamics. Show me a car with less drag. Matter of fact show me a better sports car. And answer me this how many super cars does japan have? 1 the $700,000 LEXUS. Japanese ppl have a very distorted view of the world, and you are falling victim to their propaganda. OPEN YOUR EYES

[sdlausen]

@ljguy300 Damn kid, chill out. I highly respect the simplicity of the NSX, but I'm not infatuated. As a matter of fact, one of my fav cars of all time is the Porsche GT3. It's RWD, simple, and no aids to help the driver. Also, reason Porsche never changed their shape is because their hardcore fans will have an outrage. They threw a fit when the new 1998 911 came out with it's odd front end. Porsche also uses new tech with 0 to no long term testing. btw, LFA is $350k which is still too much.

[ljguy300]

@sdlausen because its so aerodynamic, the lfo is 750 us. I never said i hate Japanese cars, i said i appreciate all good engineering. This test was design to make the nsx shine. Its one sided. Its biased

[blaziankhmer]

@ljguy300 you're a fucking troll kid, quit trying to be a know it all. no one likes a bitch like you, go kill your family then kill yourself

[ljguy300]

@blaziankhmer lol shit son went to another video to try and find a comment of mine, damn whos trolling now. lol truth hurts huh

[Pergiacomo]

@sdlausen It's NOT A SCUDERIA; just a plain 360 Modena.

This is from a BMI of 2005-2006...not 2010...i won the physical copy.

[ljguy300]

Japanese cars dont even compare to Euro cars. What has Europe given us. Lamborghini, Ferrari, Porsche, BMW, Gumpert, Noble, Catharam. Ariel Atom. Japan has given us the NSX R, and the corolla. They are too proud of their cars, they are too proud of themselves, they dont consider themselves as a part of the world, I did a lot of research on japan for school, and i am sorry but they are too proud. they kill whales because they think there is enough. THIS TEST WAS BIASED.thats all there is to it

[Bartekcsaba]

yes-yes....

[EVGAguy2]

damn how many bmi episodes are there???

[fellafoe]

if the nsx had a supercharger it would own

[BEEMERFAN79]

911 997 Carreras are overrated and overpriced. Even 335i and the 135i will totally rape it's ass.

[CJAEY]

The new facelift 911 with PDK will rape an M3 in most aspect.

[BEEMERFAN79]

Not the base Carrera.

[Bahamuttiamat]

@CJAEY all aspects

[iLoicQc]

no u suck

[zenom88]

now i know why tsuchiya owns an nsx-r

[iRnoCracker]

nsx r is secks

[zenom88]

sicks ? or sucks ?

[iRnoCracker]

sex

[zenom88]

lol

[ELITEnoOBno2]

Awesome.....

[rsx123]

Awesome video, but if they're going to use the very best from Japan, they should at least use the GT3. Carrera vs NSX-R is hardly fair.

[TheVtieg6]

Dont forget the power advantage the 911s have over the NSX and the the 911s are newer.

[rsx123]

The 911s are also compromised street cars that are alot heavier than NSXs. Also, it's common knowledge that the NSX-R doesn't actually have only 280 hp, so the hp advantage isn't much, especially on this tight track. The NSX-R is the GT3RS of Honda (well actually more like the GT2 or Carrera GT since it's their flagship), so they should use the GT3 vs it or a regular NSX.

[ljguy300]

@TheVtieg6 its not how much power but rather power to weight

[racekidishere]

awesome!
