Best Motoring crew race in their own personal cars (1994)

[@leejones1116]

GTO....legendary car!

[@DIYStangsandFreedom]

Hilarious to see the big old boy impala ss taking those curves lol!

[@jonathonhebert7042]

And look at the GTO now... Forgotten. Im a proud owner of a 93 VR4, and boy do I love it to bits. Im running 14 psi, and Tein coilovers now. Never selling!

[@jblack5323]

Yup. And cheap because of it. Saw one the other day in traffic and thought ‘cool’. But it ain’t no NSX.

[@arianetrek7049]

I didn't expect a GTO to literally spank a goddamn NSX... Imagine what this thing can do with modern tyres! It looks do freakin composed when going at it Slip angle style, it's a dream of a driver car!

[@jonathonhebert7042]

@@arianetrek7049 It's truly hilarious how much the GTO spanked the NSX. The GTO's power advantage was no match when combined with its great handling! I'm excited to soon replace my now 9 year old tires with the best summer tires the market can offer me.

[@TheGrayWolf81]

GTO will always be one of my favorite cars :P

[@PhiZelak]

Funny to see that boat there. Ops, I mean the Impala SS. HAHAHAHAHA!!!

[@furai9628]

Yeahh as an owner of a boat I completely agree

[@TerryFT86]

So intense xD

[@tokyotopp]

GTO!!!!!!!!!!

[@LSnium]

Damn man that guy was putting that Toyota Celsior (LS400) to use!

[@homersapienne2356]

Typically on Best Motoring they don't race modified cars, but this episode is actually about each of these driver's daily driven vehicles, of which they mention that the GTO driven by Akihiko Nakaya is heavily modified by him. The GTO is typically a good 2+ seconds slower around this track in other episodes. The NSX is also modified, but less so, and was also driven with a low gas tank to reduce weight. The Cobra is a kit car. The surprises are how much faster the modded GTO is then the other cars on this track, that the Cobra gets black-flagged for a breakdown, and that despite the fact that the Celsior finishes ahead of the Impala SS, the Impala actually runs the faster lap between the two by a good half second.

[@1jzsuprapwr]

Really enjoyed that and laughed heaps of times. Well done to the GTO and thought would of been close with the NSX but ae. Would love to enter with my RZ with them ;).

Wow Mitsubishi killed it. Look at the active aero in action.

I'll take the lean Machine, AKA the Impala

[@czierwo]

Thats pretty surprising GTO smoked NSX... O.o

[@ScruffyNZ.]

NSX doesnt even psssh

[@THEBOSS7223]

Not surprising at all you’ll see me have a comment

[@tadficuscactus]

I'm surprised that the gto was so far in front of the nsx.

[@THEBOSS7223]

That’s not surprised at all I have a GTO and had a rx7

[@THEBOSS7223]

GTO will Out handle an R32 GTR

[@NubblyTheSlime]

Who knows what mods though

[@jblack5323]

@@THEBOSS7223 no way. Stock GTO handed like trash, and was slow.

[@jblack5323]

Must have had plenty of mods to the suspension, and looks like it has around 450bhp +. NSX would have killed a stock one.

[@pricklypear300]

Gan-san and Nakaya san being cheeky, tried to put their 1 min 6~1 min 8 sec Tsukuba lap-capable, absolute tryhard sports cars in front of the grid by driving slowly wwwwww

[@Krezo200]

Hahahaha indeed

[@Riskbreaker_Riot]

1'06"82 that's a quicker lap then the other races the GTO is in. It's usually like 1'09

[@tritonefreeze4058]

At around 4:50, it sounds like Gan San asks if the GTO is tuned. Then the announcer says it’s a “Nakaya Special.” So I think it had to have been modified to run in the 1:06’s.

[@robicool]

Why was Hattori black flagged?

[@ae2412]

+robicool The car was leaking oil, apparently the oil filter wasn't screwed in properly.
