Thanks Guys

Thanks guys for uploading the video to the site for everyone to see. I thought it was a great video and that's why I suggested it. I also think racingflix.com is a good site. It's free but slow for free. Personally I like the way he set his site up. He has a huge amount of content and if people want the videos at a high speed they can pay a fair price. It is explensive to maintain a high speed site. The people who support it ensure that good content is always available to us for a fair price. The key word here is fair. Other wise we have to go from site to site trying to get a video here and there and create our own collection. I don't know about you but time is not something I have a lot of.

I always promote anything I think has good value. So do most people. Some people call it spam but then next time they recommend a movie, good restaurant, new supercharger etc. to their friends they might want to rethink what their definition of spam is.

Here's another couple of sites of possible interest:

Is this the Best Motoring Video? If it is, I have the full version with the handling/impressions tests on all the cars. The test drivers liked the Skyline/G35 alot but said the VDC really interfered with their fun

Edit: Yes it is...

The only time I've seen people us the gas and brake at the same time (while the flywheel and clutch are engaged) are rally racers. I've heard of it as "left foot braking". I think they do that to prevent weight transfer to the front wheels and still slow the car a bit. That way you can control the attitude of the car better. I'm sure some of the hardcore track and/or rally enthusiasts can give more detail.

Vic: The full version I have is almost 600mb so I don't think I have any way to host it. It's the BMI Rotary Reborn video so you might be able to find it somewhere as a torrent or on other P2P.

Why in the world they do the race of 2-seaters vs 4 seaters?

2-Seaters
S2000 and Miata

4-Seaters
G35 Coupe, RSX Type S, WRX, and RX8

I was watching the video closely... if they did one more lap.. I'm pretty sure G35 would be in a 1st place with VDC on

For our cars, I think you will find it easier to press the brake pedal w/ the inner part of your right foot, then rotate your foot to blip the throttle w/ the outer part. It's more side-to-side than heel-toe. The throttle is too far down to bend your heel onto it.

no way.... G35 have too much body roll even if it has VDC on S2000 would still be the first

the S2000 was pulling away from the field (including the G35). another lap with result in a larger gap.
