Wow, what a great DVD. Some really interesting points made and also cool footage.

I have that ****! It's awesome!

I like how they drive like it's not big thing, "I notice my oil temperature is rising. better turn on the heater. Oh wait there is an RX7, come, come to me.."

haha that part was hilarious.

I really liked the comparison of final drives (the effect), and the oil information. I'm trying out the band around the oil filter, and have always preferred the smaller filters

The DVD is good..although...I had the Honda Boys Type-R DVD...it was Longer and tested the 2(96 & 98) against each other in more ways.Had the DC5-R and both CTR's as well!Awesome DVD...I just sold it though.

It wasn't in English,but you could tell what they we're tryin to say/do.Region 3 DVD as well.

FOund it @ Amazon.co.jp

It was expensive but if your a fan of Best Motoring you may want to check that one out!

Hattori flogged around Suzuka at the end in the Spoon R is totally awesome.

If you have a Fry's located near you they usually have every Best Motoring video in stock. Best Buy only stocks best sellers so if you wanted to throw the cash down for all the videos at once...you'd be out of luck.

I think the Best Motoring videos are informative and fun to watch.

Yeah Wai when I saw that I thought of you Is that your car? I know Spoon makes the "Spoon DC5" for purchase...didn't know if the DC2 was that lucky (for my sake in 20 years )

AFAIK there are at least 2 or 3 DC2R's from Spoon. I don't think the one Hattori drove is the one I have. It would be cool if it was tho.

Spoon sold their DC5R's, brand new, never raced. We have all heard how much the Spoon boss dislike the DC5 chassis. So he chose to race the AP1 instead.

well it was a tie in the quarter mile race between the two but as the 96 did not have
abs it took 40 feet longer to stop from 90 mph. there are alot of differences between the two ie- 96 four lug 98 five lug,final drive is different,front and rear rotors are larger on the 98. the 98 has a stainless header. and of course the 98
has an air bag. I think that was it. I got mine on ebay along with VTEC club and
evo vs impreza and they are all great dvd's!
