Vid: Murcielago v. Gallardo v. 360 Modena v. 911 TT v. NSX R v. M3CSL

[twinsnailsS4]

I just came across this vid on another forum. Besides the NSX, which did suprisingly well, I knew there had to be interest here given the rest of the cars are all Euro blood. Vid is about 8 mins, so I would recommend doing a save as.

I don't want to spoil, but I will just say that the Ferrari's performance was also suprising. Of course, not sure how much impact the leftside steering wheeled cars had on the Japanese drivers.

that was a tight vid. damn that driver is fast with the nsx-r. i really would've like to have seen the 911tt do a little better, at least pull away from the csl. wonder how a gt2 woulda done. thanks for the vid, nice find.

yeah, the M3 csl is different from the regular M3. only sold in europe too.

very nice vid. really surpised about the NSX. i thought that the porsche and ferrari would have done better.

[RippleChip]

Yeah the CSL is lighter, little more done to it.

Pretty sweet vid.

911 turbo is heavy. since they were driving cars upwards of 200000, they should of used a GT2 instead. I really wish theyd bring the CSL here.

i thought there was rumor of it possbily squeaking over, but i doubt it...

it's only marginally better performance wise, but cost like 50% more... it's basically an M3 on a diet (about 250lbs) , and i think power was bumped to 360 hp...

[Outkasted]

That porsche should have done alot better. The NSX can't be that stiff of a competition. They definetaly should have used a GT2.

[Imperial]

That was such a hot video. The NSX-R held up really well, but it's too bad it overheated toward the end. Guess keeping up with those Lambo's in the straightaway was just asking a little too much, although it did really well in the turns. Kinda surprised by the 360 Modena's lack of competition. They shoulda run a GT2, too, not a 911TT...might have been a different race.

But HOT DAMN those Lamborghini's are amazing! Soooooooo hot. That Gallardo...in black...so hot right now...

[AudiMan]

yah that gallardo, so hot right now

[DDR2]

you guys underestimate the nsx-r. may not be all that powerful but it can certainly hold its own. i'm sure a lot of it has to do with driver skill, you can tell that the lambos are quite a bit faster. if the nsx did'nt handle as well as it does, i doubt it'd have done as well. cool video

[A Foore]

Wow, when did they start speaking in english in those Best Motoring series? I'd like to see the rest of that tape. It should contain one on one battles in drag and stopping as well.

[tigabalm]

great vid!! the narration annoyed me... but the driver convo's were hilarious!!

"i have twice as much poweras you old man!" lol!!

thanks for the great post!

peace

I've seen a few of the Best Motoring DVDs, and all have been fantastic. There are a few sites out there you can buy them from. They do some great comparos. Really put the cars to the test, and through their paces. Most of the ones I've seen have an English narrator as well as some subtitles.

Funny, we were chatting about this one eralier today...

[S4audi_SD]

i knew i should've gotten the gallardo over my b6 a4, i regret it now

No doubt that the NSX was set up well and was outhandling the Lambos, but how much of that do you think was a product of the NSX being righthand driven like those drivers are used to? At any rate, the way the Murcielago was pulling on the cars was impressive to say the least.

As for the M3 CSL, also impressive how it hung in there. Here is a good write up on it for those who asked about it: http://www.bmwworld.com/models/m3_csl.htm

you can find most of these at racingflix.com

[Silvant]

that white murci is soo tough lookin.

[Anthony]

Both the white and the black Lamborghini's looked and performed sick as hell. Way to go Lambo!

[creep]

awesome vid with some great driving!!! it was looking like the NSX-r was going to take it for awhile there. i didn't realize how well that car could perfrom. respectable showing by the M3 csl also.

[bOOOOstedAudi]

tobad the rs4 or 6 isnt in there

[bOOOOstedAudi]

Damn that vid was so good. that sold alot of lambos

[audlman]

yes... i liked the vid, it kept me occupied and interested. i like the bmw m3 csl, the lambos are sweet too. cool vid, nice find.

[A4Jon1.8t]

Awesome vid!!

[EVIL-AUDI]

very nice vid. Loved it

[A4-disiac]

great vid I was on the edge of my seat here at work.

[Jon_Rhea]

Great video!! I really enjoyed it!!

[JpnA4Quattro]

RHD and LHD dont really matter to the japanese plus those are race car drivers, people drive LHD cars over here all the time and it shouldnt cause a drastic diff. Nice vid.

[astris]

I thought the lightweight version of the M3 in Europe was just known as the M3 LWT? What does the CSL stand for?

i believe your thinking of the 95 e36 m3 known as the LWT.

[astris]

Hmm... I just remember a semi-recent issue of Eurotuner or European Car with a BMW tuner that got a new M3 LWT in the U.S. Said it was 1 of only a couple in the U.S.

[DRA4]

Wow, those Lambos are fast, great video.

The CSL stands for Coupe Sport Light. Here is some history for the curious: http://www.edmunds.com/news/conceptc...6/article.html
