Lots of good cars in there! Looking forward to the results

I can't wait. :excited: Best Motoring is one of my personal favorite. Which car do you think won?

i love best motoring but i feel i miss a big part of the input from the drivers not knowing what they are saying...ive only seen a few that are translated

either way im really looking foward to this!

i think its gunna go down like this

911 (pdk pwns on the track)
cayman s
135/Z (its gunna be close)
s2000

Im gonna pick the PDK 911 as well with the 370z coming in 2nd. I know I might catch flak for this but BM is purely entertainment to me and the results speak more about the drivers skill than the cars imho. Lots of blocking, missed lines or shifting etc but I like the show. Nice find AK

Man...I can't to watch this battle!

Does anyone have any friends or relatives in Japan? They have released this DVD in Japan. Upon further investigation I find out that they can't release it outside Japan due to "copyright" issues.:rolleyes: If someone in Japan can buy it and ship it to me, I am willing to pay.

Im sure it will be on youtube within a week...actually... I got it already ;) Im downloading as I type...

I bet you are a little jealous :0 hehe, as soon as I have the full thing I'll figure out how to get it to you...

well, is it the volume 3? because I saw volume 1 and 2 (the ones involves GTR) but the 3rd volume I could not locate.

You share or ban :ban: :icon17:

hahaha I dont like share or ban. I have the video I set the rules here. haha You can choose to have it in a few minutes or in a few.....hours? days? Can't be that long till you can find it elsewhere ;)

I'll trade you a cool subname title for the video :)

EDIT: Yes its Vol 3

EDIT DEUCE: Am I getting a perm ban for bargaining ? lol

AK = Trying not to wig out right now knowing the vid exists and youre keeping it from him, lol.

Looks like Im gonna have to re-download it since apparently I have to use bitcomet...

Nevermind I got it to work, want it AK?

Watched it, OK without spoiling it. The results settle the discussion between the Z and the 135i and the Cayman S.

We all want it!

Hmm, how can I give it to you all...

Link to torrent? I've searched all the common sites I can think of and I can't find Vol 3.

Link or :ban:

I wouldn't put too much weight on best motoring vids, but they are entertaining.

I'll put the 911 up front followed by a close battle between the cayman S and 370Z. The 135i will follow and the S2K lagging behind.



In the meantime, here's an older best motoring vid with a S2K, Nismo Z, cayman S and Z4M (not sure if that's a cayman S or just the regular model).

<---- waiting patiently....

JUST SPILL THE BEANS ALREADY!!!!

You're killing us Smalls....

kills self to end agony of waiting.....


Thanks....THANKS A LOT! :mad:

SPOILER ALERT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

OK I'll spoil it for you.

The race ends with the Cayman S, then Z then Carrera, then the 135i then the S2k.
The only two laps in the 1:06's were the Z and the Carrera. Everything else was slow compared to the two.

The Z made up like a 5 second deficit on the Cayman S (which started first) in like 2 laps. Meaning it is much faster than the Cayman S. The Carrera is about .4 seconds a lap faster than the Z. THe 135i wasn't even close to the pace, sloppy to say the least. The 135i was like 2 seconds off the pace of the Z.

In other words the real result of the test was Carrera - Z - Cayman S - S2k - 135i.

The carrera was MUCH faster in the straights. In the twisties, the Z matched it move by move.

I can't give you the Torrent because its from an invite only site which is very strict...

You told the end of the movie before we got to watch it with no spoiler alert! :mad:



kills self......um...again

About what I expected. The "races" are mainly just to make it easy to compare them side by side. The important numbers are the lap times. But I would still prefer to see just one driver have an open track and get their fastest lap. Then compare that driver's fastest lap in all the different cars.

Yeah Ryan, honestly Best Motoring races are bs. One more lap and everything would have changed. The Carrera would've taken the lead in one or two more laps and then the field would've been spread badly with the Carrera out ahead then the Z filling the gap then the Cayman...

THX RCZ!!!!!!!!!!!! I can finish my work day in peace now.. Unless my boss fires me...

Excellent results. I am impressed with the Z and dissappointed with the 135i. I was looking at the 135i before I bought the Z. The video reviews I have seen on the 135i all say it is a fast torque monster of a turbo car. I was just thinking it would do better, at least in the straights to keep up.

preview video [YOUTUBEHQ]rmBPiw0Acwo[/YOUTUBEHQ]

awhhhw!! LAP BATTOLLL! Dori Dori!

could you pleaaaaase upload the video on youtube...

very surprised with the results.. but happy!

tease!

I don't know why you would be disappointed in the 135i just because it wasn't as fast as a group of purpose built two-seat sports cars and a 997 Porsche. The fact that it is even considered competition for two $60k+ Porsches is basically proof that it is a pretty good car.

I have wedged my 6'1" self in the back of the 135i and I can assure you that it was not a wonderful ride, but probably much more comfortable than the back seat of a 997 (or the trunk of a 370z!).

if you guys watch what positions they are in when they start you'll see which car is fastest and slowest on the track. the car with the slowest laptimes are up front and get progessively faster as you move back.

Good point on the Porsche's. I wasn't looking at it like that. I do like the 135i and am glad it's in the same competition class as the Z and Porsche, ect. I wish those turbos were on my Z. lol

speaking of this video anyone know the specVs lap time compared to the regular GTR?

You make a very good point here... But the 135 is supposed to be BMWs affordable sports coupe.. To compete with nissan and infiniti.. Yes, they did put it in a group of wonderful cars and to even compete with a porsche is a great thing.. but they have also put a lotus in with a gtr a porsche and group of lambos... So they arent really fair all the time.. Before i saw this i always thought the 135 to be a great performer, better than as shown here... Dont get me wrong its a great car.. but you sacrifice looks and space for the car and IMO it doesnt perform much better than the 3 series..

can someone upload the video for us

I would have if it wasn't a weird .mp4 format...soon as I get my hands on a normal one I'll put it up.

no problem even if it is .mp4
i can watch by itunes or other programe
