Best Motoring Vol. 4 review.
Just got my Best Motoring Vol 4 in the mail the other day. It features the NSX GT1 Turbo, a run down of the new NSX Type-S, and a section on various tuner and race cars.
This Vol is alot better than the previous volumes in terms of the time spent with each car. They focus alot on the new NSX comparing it with all of the significant older models (NSX-R,NSX Type-S, NSX Type-S Zero). They run each car back to back on a winding course, with a post run evaluation by the driver. Afterwards each car is tested against the other in acceleration (kind of iffy as usual since they seem to make only one run with each car even if they get a bad launch), still allows you to see general performance. Following that they have a battle at Scuba circut with all the NSX models, RX-7 Bathhurst, and EVOVII. The races are filmed in there entireity this time instead of cutting out parts, all of the 5 laps are shown and it is in dry conditions. The rest of the tape is entertaining as well. Tape seems to be better quality all around for some reason. Definite improvement over Vol 2&3 and a good bit better than Vol 1. The time they spent evaluating the NSX's really makes the whole tape better. I give it

Yeah what the heck is up with that HOT VERSION stuff. The racing is cool, but the prerace stuff is crazy. I feel so stupid when somewalks in and they see me watching some mad scientist dude that's painted up like a freaking rabbit or whatever.

S2K hachiroku!!!
Yeah, definitely a cool vid.
Getting caught with an Option vid or some BM/Hotversion vids is like getting caught beating off!!! Someone always walks in at one of the "what the hell is that?!" parts! Japanese people and TV cameras make for some weird phenomena!
