To everyone hating the DC5, just like to remind you the Integra is a track focused car where as others are built for everyday roads. Yes the BMW has more power and R32 has 4wd but dont forget the weight difference. BMW and R32 are like tanks compared to the Integra

[@qasimmir7117]

Bash khan Correct. Also if there were a real tank in this race it would win before the race starts.

We hating on it cause obviously this channel is biased af when it comes to Honda. How tf does the sti, who was in 3rd place eventually starts doing a bunch of wide turns (totally unnecessary) goes from 3rd-6th? Its dumb.

[@deanodrives4966]

That 130i is screaming for an lsd. Turn in is incredible and even with the teggy, but as soon as it comes to accelerating out of bends it gets dominated

[@fry.master]

lsd+m3 front control arms + 1m alignment... maybe stiffer shock/spring combo and wheels and tires. Do m package brakes or buy a car with them already, ez track weapon with proper rear wheel drive instead of the dc5. This is coming from a guy who currently has a 335i, but owned 2 dc5's.

[@LueysGarage]

The 147 GTA is so surprisingly fast, I was shocked when I first drove mine. Everyone dismissed it when it was new mainly because of the lack of LSD. But fit a Q2 or Quaife and you have a serious street weapon. Alfa really did well to make a balanced and fun car that handles the power and torque well. Its a shame they used a Selespeed for this, imagine if they had a manual version!

[@ArmySigs]

Around a race track the Selespeed is faster. It shifts in around 0.5s just a tenth slower than a VW dual clutch system.

[@klstrucker930419]

And the sound of the Busso...

[@RichardABW]

I believe on the GTA's the Selespeed is essentially the same as the one from a Maserati? Whereas other Alfa Selespeed systems at the time were poorer.

[@LueysGarage]

@RichardABW it's essentially the same system as the Ferrari 360, not sure about Maserati but I wouldn't be surprised if it was shared there as well

[@Gentleman...Driver]

I actually drove many Golfs on the race track (Nürburgring), and I was kinda surprised how good the R32 performed in this video. It is a very top heavy car that is struggling with understeer problems. Also the ESP of the Golf 5th Generation is crap! You can't turn it off, and it makes three things on a race track: 1) it regulates (brakes) to early 2) it is overheating your brakes slowly 3) It does not like curbs (it brakes) And the AWD-System is just the variant with an Haldex clutch. What it does is this: If you are cruising around the only wheels which will be driven by the engine are those in the front. If the car is noticing that the front wheels are loosing traction, it connects the rear wheels to the powertrain. The result is: Very tricky handling on the race track. You have to loose traction to get traction back. Also the AWD adds more weight to the car. The AWD just gives you more traction at: 1) the start 2) when you have tight corners (Tsukuba might be the perfect race track for AWD cars) I was also confused because the Audi has the same engine, the same ESP and the same powertrain. My suspicion is that they managed to deactivate somehow the ESP of the Golf. So the Audi is showing us the real performance. By the way: The VR6 engine of the Golf is in Germany well known for having overheating issues if you drive the car fast. Volkswagen had messed up many things back than. They let Renault took over the trackday cars. But the 7th Gen Golf is finally good again. Nevertheless you get more "bang for bucks" with a Renault RS (Clio and Megane). And notice: The BMW needs a lock differential. If it had that, it would have drove away all the other cars in the field. Too bad that BMWs don't offers lock diffs after 1996, except for the M-cars (M2, M3, M4, M5). Even for the performance models like M235i you don't get a lock differential in your dealership. You are forced to the aftermarket.

[@MrZyLeXx]

The MK7 engine is stronger than the MK6 but the early versions just had problems with their turbos blowing which is sad. The engine itself is stronger than the mk6. Turbo is also bigger and it has a better Haldex system and DSG box.

[@adodoes8770]

@Mona mk7 golf r hqa incredibly strong internals, where did you get your info it can't take any power?

[@rowanlewisuk]

I'm impressed with how competitive the alfa was. I wasn't expecting much

[@klemzale5370]

very competetive with a locking diferential, some Semi slick tires, a aftermarket suspension and performance exhaust and remap. You would be suprised what it can do. I would choose that one, as its very rare, looks good, sounds insanely good and is starting to climb on price

[@pinayinfrance2642]

​@@klemzale5370The problem with the prices of the Alfa 147 GTA, it's getting on the same levels of a M3 E46 with some asking soon around the same prices. People would go for the E46 M3, it's on a totally different level.

Stick an LSD and some M3 arms and chamber adjustment on the 130i and is the complete car, it’s also a very k20 esque engine as you go rev it to get the power out of it. The noise inside is probably as good as I remember my k20 ep3’s being. I just wish I had the cash to have a k20 and my 130i, do miss the civic a lot, I’ve had 7 of them over the years.

The DC5 can still smash hot hatches with higher displacement engines with higher power output or turbos or AWD or FR or the fastest shifting double clutch system on earth. Honda really made a sports car for the track. Really a pity that Honda is known as the brand of choice for ricers with fart canons everywhere outside of Japan.

[@zpe1200]

edge21str If you drive a honda the problem is you probably have a baseball cap backwards and listen to limp biscuit, nothing has changed is the last 15 years, even more troubling is they were right. The type r in civic, integra or NSX they have always been the best and the flow on from that most standard vtec cars were great cars but with a poddy and big bore sounded mean and did go alot better but they fucken handle better than most other cars.

[@derbigpr500]

edge21str Nah it cant....Megane RS is about 40 seconds per lap faster than Integra around Nurburgring. That's a HUGE difference. Besides, even in this battel the R32 was only 0.2 sec slower in the hot lapping, and it didn't have the best track focused tires, not to mention how bare and stripped out the Integra is and how much more comfortable, luxurious, equipped, refined, etc. the Golf, A3, 130i and 147 in this battle are.

Yes, unfortunately BMW kept this nonsense until the F generation when they introduced the electronic LSD emulation. This utilises the ESP wheel speed sensors to break the spinning tire. Not great but it stops the madness of one tire fire.

Pitty on those people who blame the drivers for the lost of their favorite car. Like the r32, vw pips are hating hattori for the lost not knowing the car in the video was an automatic version. Also peole here think that a 250+ hp car will perform the same after several race laps not considering tire wear and tire progression (as seen with the r32). And people here think that a particular car they drive is the best when they only drive it on the streets (or race on straight lines) while these car in the video were driven to their limits in extreme condition. So don't expect a car to behave the same on the streets and the track. Cheers!

[@nagmashot]

yes DSG version and the car "missshift twice as the Hondus passed" I laugh my ass off... or the A3 standing on the brake at corner exit to make sure the Hondus can pass him... best motoring is and will be forever the most biased car show on earth... luckly today we have other honest japanese car magazines testing time attack at Tsukuba and surprise surprise... foreign cars do MUCH better ... just a example in a best motoring track battle the new 2015 Civic Type R beat the Megane Trophy R ... in a other car magazine test the Megane Trophy R (exactly the same car delivered by Renault) beat the shit out of the new Civic Type R.... and BTW this car magazine was over one second QUICKER with the Civic Type R than best motoring around Tsukuba (quality driver or willing driver) and the Megane still whopped the Type R ass.... the current lap record for production street legal cars at Tsukuba is not in the hand of Nismo GT-R or any other JDM that best motroing let always win... it is in the hand of the Porsche 991 GT3 RS... tested by a more serious car magazine

[@Alkhoholic]

+nagmashot there goes my point. the dsg r32 missed shifted thats why it got passed so driver was really not to be blamed. serious magazines? i'd rather watch the video than read magazines with just pictures and does not show the real action. they will just write numbers, results and pictures but not the whole pictures. im not saying honda is the best rather the way people like you think that a paricular car will always be the best car until its proven otherwise under a different testing or experiment. like for example people who watch too much top gear (which test cars in only 1 lap for a lap time) think that the results in that show will be the same with BMI which test cars in a race with several laps. so tires, weather, track temperature, break wear etc. will factor in the BMI test. that will yield to different result. please don't use the megane and CTR as an example. we all know that the renault is twice the price but the performance is not that far.do search other videos (european test) not bmi ones and see how they match up

Besides, these were not really the best hot hatches...in fact...they didn't use the best hot hatches at all. This was an A3 not S3, Golf R was pretty bad back then, 130i is a regular model, 147 GTA was old as fuck. A Megane RS would have wiped the floor with this entire line up.

Why was the 147 GTA an auto, but of a handicap there for Alfa

[@klemzale5370]

Big handicap, but hey what can you do Manual ,and Quave LSD + SS Tires and that thing starts to perform very good, and then there is the factor of engien sound and design, and not to menthion how rare that thing is compared to the other mass produced cars, its starting to become expensive

[@tomwebb7091]

The selespeed box in manual mode is faster than the standard 6 spd manual lol. Almost every one of the Japanese GTA cars had this box fitted. It actually works surprisingly well if people dont drive it like a true automatic.

Looking at the Time Attack though the R32 is a tough competitor for the Type R. But the R32 has an excellent reputation for its class and that year is AWD.

[@IbrahimAbedrabbo]

Yes .. R32 is the best among this group .. Great start, and sure it's faster than 130i .. the driver is unlucky 😢

[@PlatinumNath]

The Golf R32 seems capable to actually get the first place had it not been for miss shifts. It's TA record and best lap gives off some clue. 147 GTA is kinda strong in the top end.

[@TassieLorenzo]

It's a DSG, how can it miss shifts? :)

[@PlatinumNath]

@@TassieLorenzo old comment to reply on, but not sure either, the subs are implying so. Probably wrong shift point though and doesn't seem to want shift down one or two times, should've worded my side better

[@NotMeHere]

I was kinda hoping the 130i could pull it off but it’s just a slightly more powerful one series at the end of the day, not sure if it has stiffer suspension compared to the slower models. Also I believe the A3 and the Golf R32 have the same VR6 engine but the Golf R32 is more tuned for handling and grip while again, the A3 is just a more powerful hatchback. Of course the Integra would win since it’s a purpose built car that is well known for being extremely good handling and fast around a track.

[@aleksandercross5936]

Audi s3 is more tuned for handling and grip. And the motor is too heavy.

[@86dannyq]

Cool video thx for posting.

[@owen75]

Sounds like they had a blast on this one lol

[@NicB-Creations]

Integra won because it's lighter and better balanced. The other cars probably start overheating tires and brakes after a few laps and that's when the teggy shows it's strenght.

[@E9X330]

Nah because it's set up for track, the 130i is incredibly balanced as well, the stock set up is just not for track driving. A bit more camber and an LSD and it would rape the teggy

I owned the CTR EP3, drove the dc5, now I own a manual bmw 130i and I personally think 130i is better than the ep3/dc5R both as road car and track car (from factory). Put lsd on the 130i and it will perform better.

[@pswmetalmonkey]

Super_Slav comparing stock cars to fully build time attack cars ..aahh yawn go back to ur xbox kid, mommy is calling.

[@_suprch4rg3d_57]

Alright, somebody is scared of Audi. It is so stupid that they didn't use rs3 or even s3 regardless the big displacement engine. Each division has different level of performance and a STOCK a3 is definitely a town car. It is a pathetic choice when at the same time, its opponents are r32 golf, integra type R and 130iM. Overall it is very disrespectful...at least they remembered quattro...

[@picdar16]

Not really a fair match for the 147 gta, it is a selespeed version which is slower than the manual version and it was not driven in sport mode either so it was short shifting with slower shifts than it is actually capable of. Ive driven the r32 golf, Honda integra type r and the 147 GTA and i can tell you that i properly specced gta with destroy those cars on the straights and wont be left in the corners either, i actually bought a 156 gta and currently own a highly tuned GT 3.2 Autodelta which is effectively a 147 gta long wheelbase and i regularly go toe to toe with faster cars on the track with cars like my friends 2015 bmw m4 which to my amusement and his irritation cannot keep up with the gt in the wet and is well matched in the dry.

[@ArmySigs]

I think the decision to not use sport mode was to make it more fair to the other cars. You are wrong about the manual being faster, Selespeed in sport mode can shift way faster than any human.

[@picdar16]

@@ArmySigs If you read what was actually written i said that the selespeed equipped car is slower than its manual version. i'm not doing the age old manual vs auto argument made by idiots who have plentiful lack of knowledge in the field of engineering. The selespeed Equipped car is slower due to its extra weight, slower than average changes in its normal mode and its revised gear ratio which effects acceleration noticeably. Unlike most commenters i have studied motorsports engineering, have worked with top level teams and i can list numerous reasons on why selespeed is seriously flawed mechanically with the maths to back it up, i will give you a basic explanation why the sele is slower. While the sele is in sports mode it shifts at 500ms, that is about as fast as a well driven manual also at around 500ms (average human) so it's not any faster if both gearboxes are driven perfectly. However in normal mode the sele shifts at around 750ms which is considered a slow shift even by manual gearbox standards and the selespeed also can get overwhelmed during downshifts due to software and solenoid issues both of which are well documented. i suspect a manual GTA can comfortably shift at around 400ms when driven by a professional racer but that's a guess with little to go off. Fun fact the fastest manual gear shift is around 250ms (GTE Race cars) whereas the fastest auto shifts at 8ms (Bugatti veyron DSG) The manual car weights around 1380KG whereas the Sele weighs around 1410KG, with the gear ratio taken into account (shorter final drive) it roughly equates to a 0.3 difference in 0-60mph and 0.7 difference at 0-100 mph when compared to the manual. So the sele shifts slower when driven professionally, it weighs more giving it a lower power to weight ratio and it has a slower gear ratio and this affects the acceleration badly on the track. I looked at both gearbox options for my 3.7 autodelta GT when i was building it for the track and the manual worked out to be far superior, reliable and has little needed to make it better at a much lower price.

[@CouriusPL]
