1/4 mile: M6 vs NSXR, 997 turbo, hayabusa video
I don't speak Japanese but the 1/4 mile times are quite obvious at Best Motoring. The NSX R is faster than the M6 because it weighs only 1100kgs
part 1: part 2:

1/4 mile means nothing, just entertaining at best.
0-150-0 is the real test of a car. Most of those cars don't even get out of second gear in the 1/4 mile. |

If you really want to test a car, let it get into its stride a bit more. Most of these cars were never intended to be that quick through the 1/4 mile. Let the M6 run a bit and you will see what it can do. Too much wheel spin off the line, but once it gets into its stride, it will be gone. You can see the cars catching up to the others, and then it is over. 0-150-0 test is a standing start up to 150mph, then hard on the brakes back to 0. Fastest car wins. Magazines have been testing this way for years. There is a Japanese show that also tests the cars at a longer distance. |

Or a F430 Stradale... Anyway the zero to whatever speed tractionproblems of the M6 and the tractionadvantage of the NSX R(midengine rwd) are the points here I guess.

And my first post regarding Hattori and Tsuchiya, what I meant was that they are awesome drivers, but drag racing isn't their specialty. |
