The Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 is a car of legend. With its Fast and Furious legacy its hard to deny its impact on car culture. However don't let that overshadow another JDM Legend - the 1990's Acura NSX. With it's naturally aspirated mid engined V6 power plant, it is balanced and an absolute joy throughout the corners. It gives you enormous confidence and a usable power band. So can a wide body NSX with suspension and tires take on a 560HP R34 GTR in the mountains? Let's go for a drive and find out.

If he'd taken off the ugly wide body kit and that ridiculous wing that was probably creating drag and spent the money on some simple go fast goodies on the engine he would have kept up it called hp/wt ratio.

@trevorwatson4969 2 года назад

I'm sorry, was it just the GoPro making it look like you were constantly crossing the center line? I know it's wide body but adjust brother! That car deserves to hang in its own lane!

@donzadonz1 2 года назад

This comes from my experience riding bikes in the twisties, when you are driving or riding "enthusiastically" it is probably better to be half a tyre over the centre line when you are not driving into a blind turn. Reason being it allows for on coming traffic to see you earlier and improves your visibility of on coming traffic and road conditions ahead, plus it allows for more room to adjust your line should you go into a corner too hot. I know most people think it's bad to go over the line but as long as your not going into a blind corner or making a risky overtake you should be fine.

@trevorwatson4969 2 года назад

Not a bad explanation, but also being from a background of riding streetbikes through the twisties, I've almost had my head taken off by people crossing the center line. Granted they did it "unsafely" but I think keeping to your own lane is a far better habit to have then habitual crossing the line. The owner of the nsx was driving the gtr if I'm not mistaken and you could see him intentionally keeping to the right side of the lane (which is difficult to do in a right hand drive car) as if to try and keep David on his side of the road... I could be totally wrong about all of this though lol don't listen to me 😅

@BacoTell 2 года назад

@taylormeyer671 2 года назад

The closest I've been to this was chasing a newer STi up highway 9 in my S2000. Its such a raw and exhilarating feeling, especially knowing that your car doesn't quite match the horsepower of the car in front of you, but when it comes to cornering ability that extra second it gains on the straights just disappears. It becomes especially apparent on uphill drives when you nearly dont need to brake at all and can carry so much momentum through every turn.

I was thinking the same thing. If you do this on the tail of the dragon in Tennesse you'll get put on blast real quick.

@ThatDudeinBlue 2 года назад

It’s actually very uncommon for me to do so. I’m VERY against it on blind turns, but the car was so wide that I was a tad paranoid of my right side of the car. Obviously with the footage it wasn’t justified, but it isn’t a good habit for sure. 99% of the time it doesn’t happen thankfully.

@ZachM525 2 года назад

@@ThatDudeinBlue This is a god awful excuse for endangering lives by leaning heavily into oncoming traffic. If you are driving outside of your means and are afraid the car you are driving then you aren't driving safe, no youtube content is worth this stupidity. If anything it makes me less interested in watching your content, because I know you drive in the GA mountains all the time, and that crew that goes up there weekly also has 0 tolerance for this. If you can't drive the car inside the lines then slow down and drive at your level. Don't make shitty excuses for going over the double yellow.
