Whats up, not sure if this is a re post but I didn't see it before.

This is a very impressive video. It's an 8 min. video clip best on Windows media player. I cant recall the site I pulled it from but there were a few "uneducated" posters who felt the X was given slack because this was a Japanese video. Guess they dont know the quality of the Type R. Anyway, hope you enjoy the video for those of you who haven't seen it. This is the video

"Twin Ring Motegi Battle"

Thanks for the video link, im sure those who havent seen it will appreciate it.
But yes this has been posted at least a half dozen times.

I've been wondering this since I saw this video six re-posts ago :tongue: :

what's up with the overheating at the end? What's the take on that?

I don't think that's normal at all, even with the revs not dropping below VTEC range for 8 mins. A brand new NSX-R should be able to handle that easily

I think a lot of people miss the most obvious change that the NSX-R had with respect to cooling: The air path through the radiator is completely different from the standard NSX, and not necessarily for the better. In the NSX-R, the underside of the front compartment is covered by an undertray for downforce. Since this area is normally the exit for air that passes through the radiator, the hood was vented and a duct was added to allow the air to exit through it instead. It is very possible that the airflow using this method is not as effective as using the underside of the body as the radiator exhaust. Although I have not read any concrete information on this, I would expect the air pressure under the body is lower than over the hood (the reason the undertray is so effective), and the area for the air to exit under the entire front compartment is much larger than the single vent used by the NSX-R.

In a car with already marginal cooling (see NSX Type S Zero marginally overheating in previous "Endurance Battles" in other Best Motoring episodes), just a slight reduction in the airflow through the radiator can be enough to send coolant temps several degrees higher, beyond what one would feel safe running.

No, not the Nazi Stick...just so excited seeing those amazing cars doing what they were built to do. But my main point here was the comments the nsx got by haters who look at the HP number as their sole source of performance (Oh no, did I just start another topic worthy of the Stick?)

Long live the NSX - 290 hp and all!
