BM Video: NSX v. 996TT v. 360 Modena

Nice vid, though I'm surprised that the 360 couldn't hang (bad driving?).

I'd still take the NSX over any of the other contenders. :)

Why would you be surprised at the outcome. The 911 TT consistently runs in the 12 flat, to low 12 range. The 360 goes from low 12's to high 12's. Every test I have ever seen them run against each other, the 911 TT has always been faster in a straight line.

Hmm, maybe we didn't watch the same video. The video I saw had other cars besides the Porshe and Ferrari. My comment was referring to the 360 being in #4 position out of the 5. I expected it to be a little higher up in the final results.

Now you tell me what video you saw. :confused:
 
its kinda hard to compare when they have different drivers, in a biased starting order. i mean look at the 911T, he jumped the gun!
i'm actually most impressed with that lancer driver, that guy was able to hang with cars 4 times its price the whole race
it just goes to show you how big a factor skill is on a road course

Sorry, I have the complete video, and I thought you were talking about the 1/4 mi. segment. On the video the 911 TT pretty much outperformed the 360 Modena across the board...1/4 mi., Gymkhana, and the track. The Modena seems to have a problem in that the back end comes out pretty easily, and the handling is very lively. It was driven by Nakaya, who is probably the best driver for BM, and right up there with Gan San. In the 2nd race, it came in 3rd behind the 911 TT, and a modded Nismo Skyline. It was even uglier when they went to FUji Speedway (larger course) in the last video and the Modena went up against the GT3. The driver went cray driving that car balls out, and still got worked. I doubt the Stradale would have caught the GT3.

I am using Windows Media Player v9.0 but it won't play the video, only the audio. What do I need to do to get the video?
