It is a very cool video (thanks), but has absolutely nothing to do with the GS....

This belongs in Car Chat -->

Thumbs up

Cool video, crazy ending! I'm surprised the NSX hung in as good as it did, but it ruled the corners, showing power's not everything.

I think the NSX could have won......even with half as much power!!!.....

The M3 put up a good fight also.....very suprising

that video was awesome

had me on the edge waiting to see what would happen next... all around incredible driving there by the NSX driver... and awesome driving by the Lambo Duo as well!

I was also surprised the Modena fell back so far... I would have expected it to do better.

You know what, this reminds me of the battle of Takumi's AE86 against the Emperor's EVO IV before the AE86's engine swap. The car was simply maxed out and eventually overheated, marking Takumi's first bitter defeat and finally making him realize the importance of raw horsepower.
Now replace Takumi with Honda and AE86 with NSX and you get this video.
Only that it's still unknown whether or not this defeat is enough to make Honda realize the same thing.

Eh...anyone knows what I'm talking about?
