When Gan-san and Ohi raced to compare the two models, I don't really think the new model was faster. The narrator says its because of the gear ratios, but I think it was down to the driver. You can see Gan-san redline the car a lot more than Ohi, whereas Ohi shifts almost perfectly at the redline or a little before it. And at 10:05 Ohi shifts down into 3rd which left him at about 5200RPM; out of VTEC. I'm no expert but if he went to 2nd and drafted Gan-san I think he could've past him again?
ive never noticed how short they really are... i know this has nothing to do with the vid, but dang. i mean my ITR barely comes up past my waste... and it isnt lowered.
well said at the end... japanese dont really care about the pride and stuff, they only wanna make money(which they are succeding). but if they were to make some really nice RWD shit , which they do have the technology. they would kill it. i think its their time to do something. gtr and lfa are great but lfa is to expensive.
this is honda for you. if you want to bring out a new model, make it MUCH better than the previous one. This test is ridiculous. Who gives a shit if the car is half a second faster around a track than the previous model. Whats the point in bringing out this new model??
why does at 17:23 it says the Type-S has 160ps? Does that mean the version they tested had 160 horsepower? I'm pretty sure the RSX is 200hp in the US.
@MyBoringOldRice I know. read through the rest of my posts. the jdm dc5 integra type-S has a 160hp engine like the one in the base RSX. I was not talking about the RSX type-S.
i wish he can say that closing statement directly to the head of honda right now. hondas today are such crap with their heavy and bulky civics. the last good thing that came out was the s2k. I just want my dc2 itr and im set for life. i doubt honda will make anything interesting for awhile since their just trying to go green.
@togaxc Honda has to do what every other manufacturer is doing, and with the extra safety and emissions systems the cars will obviously get heavier. and Honda has always wanted to be green. but the sad thing is that it´s getting harder and harder for them to make the amazing high revving beautiful engines and still have them meet the ever more stringent emissions regulations:( but one of the reasons they are the worlds largest engine manufacturer is the fact they make green efficient engines.
I remember going to the Acura dealer around 02 saying when you get info in on the new body style of the Type R, Please call and ill drop a deposit immediately, but as we all know with time, America got fucked again! woo....whats even worse is when I was 19 I had my chance at the new Type R in 2000 but was more interrested in the Accord v6 ex for the leather and bells and whistles....sometimes you look back and face palm! Honda is dying on its feet! honda said FU sports car lovers!
@USSRman45 yea but its easy to get at least some of the parts for the jdm model. But the fact that the jdm integra has recaros makes it sick compared to any other model. I always wondered why jdm companies always skimp us on cars
The integra, and imprezza, will never be true sports cars. Type R and STi are only racing version of regular everyday grocery getters and that's the truth.
are you retarded? The STI should be more looked at as a road-legal rally car. WRC anyone? how can you even say that, you've obviously never truly driven a STI, other than watching videos of it, to see how amazing of performance you get for your money. ignorance at its best.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I said, they will never be "True sports cars" (4 doors anyone, Fwd?) Please watch the end of this video...... the man himself explains it to you. And yes I've driven all those cars Sti, Evo, Type R tuned to the max. peace
First they gotta commit to bringing some type r models in the states! Non of that type s watered down version crap. They also gotta step up in the design department.....
They never stopped producing Honda Integra's in Japan. They did how ever stop making Acura Integra's in the states. After a while they brought the newer body style of Integra's but didn't wanna continue with the name Integra because the stopped the production of them so they just called them Acura RSX
I don't understand why people are comparing BMi and Top Gear. They are 2 completely different show aimed towards different audience. BMi is WAY more technical than Top Gear. TG is more for the everyday driver. Nothing wrong with that
@airgod TG is getting dumber and dumber. In last season it's almost too obvious that everything is scripted and jokes are just pathetic. On BMi they are joking around too but it is funny and on TG it's pure "facepalm" stuff.
All this is kinda sad because Top Gear used to be much interesting than today...
I love both Top Gear and BestMotoring...BM talks about the performance and science behind each car while TG talks about each car's character and behaviour.
Wow where did all the Top Gear hatred come from. One of the earlier posts said it correctly, the show is aimed at different crowds. Anyone other than a dedicated enthusist would probably find this show very and I mean very boring. While Top Gear has a more universal appeal. Yes the hardcore car lovers may not like the TG, but theres something there for them. GT is great no doubt, but so is TG.
@wc326 i totally agree, i cant help but think about that every few mins in these videos.
while top gear guys talk about radio buttons and carpet colour, then take the car on a track and drive it poorly.. gtchannel doesnt hold back which i love.
its because these are professional race drivers, they care about performance only- which is definitely how it should be for a type R
@lejink Top Gear is more of an entertaiment show made by people who happens to like car. And it appeals to everyone because it's quite funny. This show is for people who's really serious about cars and otherwise normal people would find it rather boring. To compare the two show is quite well stupid...
