I'll refrain from commenting for now. I don't want to give the results away.

TheSoundMan21 · 05-07-2008, 03:42 PM

M3 easy for straight line speed. In a track race wow hard choice but im still going to say M3.

uneekvisions · 05-07-2008, 03:51 PM

S2K and M3 will be close, but the Z will be nowhere in sight, ha ha.

D1sclaimer · 05-07-2008, 04:29 PM

It depends if the 350z has the newer motor or not. Also if the M3 is the v6(older) or v8(newer)

gomarlins3 · 05-07-2008, 04:34 PM

Not our car, sorry.

sonic · 05-07-2008, 04:36 PM

S2000 would win everything hands down.

I might be showing a little favortism guys.

Boost Convert · 05-07-2008, 05:05 PM

The STI...

Oh wait, that wasn't one of the 3 choice huh?

jagg · 05-07-2008, 05:13 PM

Boost made a funny......tee hee.

J'sS2K · 05-07-2008, 05:17 PM

Keep on guessing. I will have the answer posted soon! AND THEN MORE DISCUSSIONS

jagg · 05-07-2008, 05:23 PM

Why the suspense J? .....give us the goods!!!

I can't. I'm downloading it as we speak!

gomarlins3 · 05-07-2008, 07:54 PM

Are we going to be lucky enough to see ANOTHER illegal street race?

J'sS2K · 05-07-2008, 08:21 PM

LOL, I don't "live my life a quarter mile at a time." I'm all about skills on the road course!

Best Motoring is my favorite show and Keiichi Tsuchiya is my idol!

Vezna31 · 05-07-2008, 10:43 PM

The only way to answer that question is to have the same driver drive all 3 cars at a track on the same day, otherwise you're wasting your time. A different driver makes all the difference in the world.

My last track day, I passed numerous M3's, but ran into a 350Z in my 3rd session that I just could not catch. My lap times were slower that session, maybe because I had a passenger. I also don't know if the Z had any mods.

J'sS2K · 05-07-2008, 10:56 PM

You don't have to worry about that. These guys are Pro drivers. Best Motoring has the best Japanese drivers in all of Japan.

J'sS2K · 05-07-2008, 10:59 PM

To be honest, I'm just as exicited to see the results as the rest of you guys are. It'll be finished in 30 mins, for me off course, you guys have to wait a bit longer. Whoohoooo, for me!!!

Vezna31 · 05-07-2008, 11:06 PM

Well, I watched one recently between the those cars and if they have the same tool driving the S2000 as they did in that one, the S will be far behind.

Again, different drivers can make all the difference and it pointless to compare otherwise.

Drivers do make all the difference, but it's up to the car's performance too. These drivers are pros. They're driving to win they'll push the car to its limits. These car are not in the same class so if the S2000 happens to beat the M3, hypothetical speaking, the car has something to do with the win.

We'll find out when I rip and upload the race on YouTube. HEHEHE

J'sS2K · 05-08-2008, 01:49 AM

Video added!

Vezna31 · 05-08-2008, 02:02 AM

That video means absolutely nothing. The S is more competitive than that. The driver sucked. I don't care if they are all professionals. Jacques Villaneuve is a professional too, but when you compare him to others in Formula 1, he's a joke.

Yeah, I thought the S would do a lot better, like 1st or 2nd. As soon as I saw the new M3 the S got knocked to 2nd. I thought that would win for sure cause I don't think a 350z would outrun that

TheSoundMan21 · 05-08-2008, 08:51 AM

Well my original prediction still stands. The Z they started at the front and the M3 they started at the back. Plus the M3 had the fastest lap time enough said. I just dont think the S has the horse power to stay in it.

The S2000 didn't lose because of the driver. It got passed on the straight away! Honda needs to up the horsepower. It would have done much better if we had another 50 ponies under the hood!

I hate to admit it, but our car is slow, in term of horsepower.

TheSoundMan21 · 05-08-2008, 11:18 AM

I wanna see a WRX up against an S

jagg · 05-08-2008, 11:45 AM

In the race to 100,000 miles for the least amount of money, the S2000 will be far ahead of the competition on display in this video.

Three laps around some Jap track, don't mean diddly to this lad. It's hardly a test of any of these vehicles.

whole lotta brakes in the corners.

rickjkerstetter · 05-08-2008, 12:22 PM

If its a new M3, you have 3 different size engines. V8, V6, and I4. Simple logic will tell you the 4 banger already has the odds stacked against it. But put it up against any other n/a - 4 banger anything short of a Lotus and see what happens!

TheSoundMan21 · 05-08-2008, 12:24 PM

Ya the S is in its own little funny class.
