best motoring final fd battle :( was watching it and thought s**t they are all understeering and just handling not exceptionally well, turns out all the manufacturers only brought slicks or cut slicks with them, then...
if u had a manual box in it and you could drive the sloppy box propperly (sr20 box is the worst box ever) you could knock a second off that if not more...

a sorted stage 3 200 will outrun a m3 easy... however they aint as comfy as a m3, but they are more fun... when i got rid of my 14 i looked at e46 m3's but went with a rx7 the m3 just wasnt special enough it was a nice looking car in and out but didnt set me on fire... the rx7 is just soooo much...

f**k me your wind tunnel testing it! you have some serious wedge behind your team!!!
at japfest i had a good look around the nsx owners stand and must say, after my rx7 im tempted to get one!
thats a custom made one off engine, its a 4 rotor, wasnt ever produced in a road car, its got huge peripheral ports and its n/a not turbo... i would love one lol
