nice! seems like a 7 can still hold its own against its arch rival gtr.

still a nice gtr, but not my cup of tea.

That is insane... So many factors could have played into this I don't know what to think. I want to know what's under the hood of that 7. :D

I will give into the fact that that was probably a completely stock GT-R and a very nicely modded 7... but that was a good video. Even if the 7 lost, I would still want it. That thing is sick... could probably beat that minivan I've been losing to with that thing.

edit: thanks redefined... wasnt paying enough attention to notice it was tuned... even said it right there, oh well.

the GTR wasn't stock. It was tuned by MCR. That RX7 is another one of amemiyas inventions... it has a nice advantage over the heavy GTR in these conditions.

Completely stock? No.

"It has an ARC exhaust, Zeal Function A coilovers, and Endless brake kit (calipers and rotors). "

I noticed that the guy in the 7 was fighting the wheel the whole time while the guy in the GTR looked like he was on a Sunday drive .

It seems to be quite hard to pass on a road like this... so it appears whoever is in the front at the beginning will win
Cool video.

not really, it more or less comes down to the spacing. If the gap between the two cars decreases throughout the race, the second car wins.

Exactly, the whole point is to keep up or close the gap not loose ground.
