Yo I drove an R34 GT-R with the Fun2Drive tours in Hakone, Japan and it was rad as gently caress. Also, as an American, driving in the left side, shifting g with my left hand, and dealing with exceptionally narrow rural roads with deep ditches on the LHS took some getting used to. The guides were great and basically gave pace notes and warnings about any upcoming turns, oncoming traffic, etc. It was a blast. Would do again.

It's too bad they didn't have it in for WTAC, I think they could have won with more power. Only 250kph on the front straight, easy looking lap, and still put down a 1:21.4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=02TpGiNDlm8 While we're at it, here's MCA's lap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RYHVPsWxHWU If the 968 shows up with 1500hp next year they're going to crush everyone. jamal fucked around with this message at 05:04 on Nov 2, 2017 |

Someone needs to develop a Time Attack console/PC game, build and test your car then lets see what you got.

InitialDave posted:I'll be going when I'm out there next year. One of the highlights was the father and son who rented the FD3S . Apparently the cabin was very loud so they couldn't hear the radio in their car. A car following them reported smoke coming from some part of the car at which point the guides said "Probably blowby." The drivers also said it lacked any low end torque so the very tight switchbacks we're awkward.

How hard are they flogging it on those tours? Seems like anything remotely like this in the states wants you to just idle around.

I kept pace with the lead car in the first half of the tour. The second half two Aussies said they wanted to go faster so I moved back two spots in the convoy, and I did t feel comfortable trying to keep up with them. Also the cars are either catless or just running super rich, because following them for a few hours have me a terrible headache. The operators have plenty of photos of wrecked cars from their customers and lots of warnings about how much it will cost you if you crash or damage the car. Definitely nothing like you would see in the US for "exotic car rentals" where they take you on a 15 minute cruise up and down a strip mall. I did the "Ultimate Hakone Tour" which was a little under ¥50,000 for a 5+ hr tour. We only concerned about 120 km but I burned though ~30 l of fuel if that's any measure of the tour. When I figure out how to transfer images from my camera to my phone, or when I get back to the US I'll post some photos. It was a blast.

Why choose the one vehicle other than a DeLorean that is explicitly known for not being able to hit anywhere near 88 MPH?

I'm interested to see if he takes it to THE NURBURGRING and records a time (even though I know that's frowned upon). I'd love Honda to take him with them just to see what it'd do. (aside from stack it into the wall at high speed)

Yeah, I'm not really impressed with stuffing a big engine into a little frame, because it's comparatively easy to do and has already been done a million times. Devising a balanced vehicle which can handle the power and is actually driveable is much more impressive and rare.
