There's no doubt the R32 GTR is an attractive car.
But...
It's been more than 6 years since the debut.
Based on abilities, FF sports car are on the same level nowadays.
With that said, we brought in the Integra R this time, to show everyone the reality.
Let's have a look at it.
You know what,
This car is really the best one among many other FF cars.
But
You can't underestimate R32 GTR like that.
To bring in the battle a new FF car isn't still enough.
That's maybe right.
But the price is the same, maybe the lap time difference will be small.
A steering-happy-guy with no skills should choose this fast car.
In contrary, this 4WD car with FR feeling and torque spirit,
no matter how old the car is, still with an FR feeling,
guys who want to hone their driving skills would choose the R32.
Simply to bring in an FF car is a mockery.
Anyway, let's try and start the battle.
For this battle, we borrowed the R32 from OotsukaSan.
Everything is normal except for the rear muffler.
The car has been running modestly mainly in city.
The Integra R we love is a real and pure sport car.
The best lap time is also nearly on the same level as R32 GTR.
So, how is the used GTR going to perform?
Battle start!
Oi's Integra starts at once.
What a great start!
He started like a Kurosawa Motoharu.
With that said, let's give him a little space for starting sequence.
To be running with the same pace as Inte R, it's probably enough to stay at 7000 rpm.
Let's give him a space.
TsuchiyaSan with moderate driving, how about Integra R in front?
This section is not suited for FF car.
I can shift even at 6000 rpm.
Or maybe I should try at 5500 rpm.
I am faster.
Nope, that's not what it looks like.
Compared to this one,
cornering speed of Inte R is not that miraculous.
Still, Tsuchiya's GTR has to push enough.
He's pushing hard.
He's pushing very hard.
Don't close on me.
Let's start driving seriously.
Let's be serious.
So, the real battle starts from here now.
Is GTR really that fast?
This corner is so not good for an FF car.
That's the FF typical problem.
So how about a cornering battle from here on?
no, this straight...
I'm fast.
Both cars are running neck at neck.
Tsuchiya's GTR is plunging too deep!
I'm understeering.
Right, right, right.
But GTR comes back with better acceleration.
That fool can't touch me.
Both drivers seem to be running too seriously now.
The last lap of battle.
Tsuchiya's GTR plunges too deep again! Are the brakes OK?
I can do these things, look.
Are the tires OK?
I'm struggling here.
The cornering speed here is totally different.
He's not gonna keep up here.
This R32 is good.
His differential works fine, indeed it's a good used car.
There is some fading effect, because the brakes are normal.
With that said, the GTR is still a very fast car.
Don't underestimate the GTR.
What a good battle.
Even after 6 years, no mockery allowed!
When we were side by side, the FR based behavior of this one really shined.
It can take a good lane everywhere.
That's right. I could drive single handedly while looking at your FF understeering.
In case of this car, if you take its lane there's no choice left, you have to stay behind.
That's where your car shines.
This one si normal, even the brake pads, still could put up a good fight.
But, there was a lot of oversteering,
that's because of bad tires.
Even though I beat you.
If I had Yokohama tires I would be much faster.
Right!
