Light Weight FACE OFF - Elise vs MX-5 Coupe and the whole Miata Family - Best Motoring International

[92luisrod]

at 12:00 i was like"where the fuck did the cone go???"

[trancedsailor]

v8 miata would lap all these cars and cost as much as an Elise.

[Detoyato]

@trancedsailor Why put such?.... Just get an Ariel Atom or a Caterham XD....

[TheCruzan92]

I wanna see the Minivan battle!!

[hbsupermage]

an elise 111s would have beaten them too easy

this is like watching gran turismo 5

[micmiclai]

hehe, if u can find the BM video of MR-S when it first came out, it did 1m10.  Who said it's gay?

[tsoslia]

a turbocharged miata with 250-300 hp can be a really fast car if also is eguiped with a coilover suspension then with a low cost you can have a pure race car

[siraff2]

Anyone know where to get the wagon race at the end from?

[EthansOpinion92]

i feel like a fag for saying this and im not a huge fan of the car but BMI should really try out the 1st gen dodge neon rt or acr, in scca it ranked way higher than all the cars in it class including honda civic DX and EX, and its lightwight, FF and has a decent transmission. just a thought..... when the car came out critics called it the "japanese car killer". i have always HATED dodge and neons but i did tons of research on 1st gens, and they are impressive, for being american that is haha

[Sicknastyracerr]

its a chick car, its slow, and gay the miata would spank anyday... notice how there is no racing series around an MR-s? that should tell you something

[palefaced1]

The integra would have passed the elise very soon on the track. Lap time and top speed were both faster. Plus it looks better. Integra R FTW!

[MrTopStarr]

11:53 Even the commentator is getting pissed off at Ohi LOL "shuup and drive"

[goretro77]

They used the British version, Rover powered Elise (120HP), wish they had the U.S. version of it with 190HP 2ZZGE Toyota engine.

[carmodifire]

I always thought that Mazda should make a miata coupe. And they did, but no turbo, and not here. Honda should have done that with the s2000

[lazybiker79]

That had a evo there.. But no lotus 111r or exige or s2000?

[weksosonmyrice]

wheres the s2000?

[MrBugfunk]

@weksosonmyrice

i would say the s-2000 is not light weight as the mx5 or the elise....the weight from the s-2000 is 1300kg and the mx5 has only 1050kg...

[weksosonmyrice]

@MrBugfunk its still considered a lightweight car...

[Sneadster]

@weksosonmyrice no longer in production

[TheVtieg6]

1120kg for mx5 wtf?

[Mikeado66]

Woah, never seen an MX-5 coupe before. It looks a bit wierd...

[EfiniSeven]

The Integra is not a fast car, kid, not by a looong shot. It's just that the Miatas are just so underpowered.

[3niDougla]

@EfiniSeven

Fast IN IT'S CLASS. Yes, the ITR is certainly a quick car. Even these BMI guys say that. And i'm quite sure they know what they are talking about.

[carl206rc]

what about opel gt

[MrBugfunk]

@carl206rc

not light weight

[carl206rc]

@MrBugfunk 1280kg it's not heavy

[djspeed06]

@carl206rc yeah it is, and peugeot make crappy cars

[JD0x0]

@carl206rc yes it is. thats around 2600lbs. That is heavy. IMO a light car has to be under 800kg.

[ngentotsemua]

gotta love that elise

[lennemen75]

Very enjoying

[kmisuzu]

nice minivan battle at the end

[siraff2]

That was good - thanks for the upload.

What were the estate's/mpv's at the end? Any footage of those racing?

[silversprint]

Why no MR-S?

[SippingOnAspartame]

yeah I was thinking the same thing too :)

they need an MR-S ,Celica GT-S and S2000

[Sicknastyracerr]

@silversprint Becuase mr-s is gay

[carmodifire]

@Sicknastyracerr No. It is a very good car and almost beat the then touge monster R34.

[nawitus]

Man the Integra is fast.

[kevinlch]

@nawitus

not in the gymkhana

[ronceerohit]

integra type r claws its way from the back. very impressive for a car that can fit the whole family in, lots of luggage and return 30mpg+

[alfamonk]

@ronceerohit the whole family? ...Have you sat in the back of one?!

[Sicknastyracerr]

@ronceerohit its got more power... the other cars had it in the corners, it just made the most power

[hootblah]

@ronceerohit miata is still better =). cant grip and handle like a miata but better power obviously cus thats only reason it caught the roadster
