Default Re: Spoon NSX-R GT Reviw... By me!

GT Channel finally posted the video of the Spoon NSX-R GT vs. the FXMD (previously Factor-X) FX750 Unlimited Time Attack NSX.

Streets of Willow clockwise with the additional (old track) hairpin turn 3-4 (the new 'blowpass' is a simple 90* right-hand corner while the old track was more of a hairpin with a left hand corner leading into the 'esses' before the 'bowl'). Depending on the car/conditions/track, the old track is said to be 1-2 seconds slower than the newer 'blowpass' configuration that most clubs run.

Spoon NSX-R GT: 1:25.902 - Tyler McQuarrie

Mine's R35 GTR: 1:25.113 - Daijiro Yoshihara

FXMD FX750 NSX: 1:23.X - Billy Johnson (Lap not listed in the videos)

We did the 1:23 despite having significant problems engaging 3rd gear, brake bias being off, down on power (to break in the motor), and the terrible US-spec gear stack and final drive). This was filmed late last year where the car was still far from being sorted.

My review driving the Spoon NSX-R GT at Willow Springs Raceway:
