I would like to see the Vlad's Warsteiner replica against those Japanese cars, would be a whole different ball park.

The E30 countersteer??? Did you see the S2000??? Either the S2000 was not properly setup or the guy could not drive... he was countersteering at the exit of every corner... he was not going around the course the "fast way". Not a fair comparison against the cars, IMHO.

* I only watched the first video.

I like how they have the engine listed as an M14B23 . :D

not really japanese heavyweights...heavyweights would have been like supra, gtr-34, nsx, etc etc... but fun videos either way. my favorite was that long S turn against the Evolution...thats some nice driving.

its not like the e30 m3 is really one of bmw's heavyweights...

What I meant by heavyweights, was more powerful cars than the E30 M3. It's just a thread title anyway :P

that is very true. My cousin has an ap1 model and when tested to the limits in gears 2-4 the car feels very twitchy.

Yes, I’m well aware of how the S2000s handle and, I know who the driver is. He was obviously overdriving the car, which means those are not going to be fast lap times. The S2000 can be driven fast at it’s limits without having to countersteer in every corner.
