Good fun - was I the only one who thought this was a trick 200mph+ motor going on the speedo until he mentioned topping out at 125mph-ish?!

Also, loved the translation when athe car in front cut across him on the apex of a bend -something like "hey what are you doing, get out of the way" - yeh right!

Yeah, the transaltion was a bit 'little britain' like !

I was impressed with his commitment through the bends, as the last time I drove a S2K I spent most of the time trying to stop it changing ends !

He always drives like that. He's the senior dude for all the Best Motoring reviews. It's a Japanese monthly DVD magazine where they do lots of head to head road tests on track etc. Typical line up would be a 360, GT3, NSX, Impreza, S2000, Skyline all 'racing' around track. He basically cuts everyone else up to get in front, and forces his way through peoples inside lines as no one is willing to trade paint for a review.

Quite a lot of Best Motoring stuff on google videos. I've got a great clip of the F430 doing a head to head, but I can't upload it since its copyright I think.
