Exclamation Crazy Video: M5, CLS55, XJR, M3CSL, Gallardo, 997S, Skyline R34 Nismo

I really enjoyed this video(though in I assume Japanese??). The focus is on the M5. That engine sounds sooo nice. They duke it out on the track during the last 3 min of the video.

hilarious, funny how they all got suprised by the M3 at the start. The G driver shouts, "Where the hell did that start come from?!" Also amusing is how the M5 driver keeps criticising his car - "Wheel is heavy, brakes are heavy...this thing won't turn..." Then he decides to drift it. The comments about the Carrera are that it breaks really well in the corners. Everyone keeps saying, "Man that thing breaks well!"

These guys were having a blast. The GT-R driver at the end is talking to his car: "Come on, you want to go, you want to go...be the Japanese car that wins..."

Yeah Best Motoring is japanese. The guy you saw racing (not the one with long hair, I think he drove the M5 in the final matchup), was the winner in the AE86 championship in japan. He's an incredibly driver. I have several DVD's of Best Motoring and JDM racers where he's the main host.

M5 is an incredible car, but I'm really impressed with how the R34 performed. There's a reason why the Nismo Z-Tune R34 is my dream car.

anyway, back to the video, amazing to see the DIFFERENCE between the cls55 and the m5. the m5 is much better in braking, and around the cones the m5 is just spectacular. you can see that the cls55 was going everywhere......

and yup, the gtr is one truely amazing car!!

Did you guys notice how LITTLE the nose of the M5 dived during the brakeing tests? Amazing!

I just really wish they would do something about that interior... It should be illegal to mate such an ugly interior with such a fine automobile.

Yeah it is amazing to see how the GTR came from last place to pass all the high end German powerhouse cars.

That is truly crazy. Did you guys see how the guy driving the M5 was drifting around thoes last few corners. At 60 mph with everyone behind him.. He lost time, but he looked great doing it.

yeah it's funny, seems like the car can't really pull that well on corners as others, including the csl

Yeah, and it seems like the exotics were having a hard time catching up too

The M5 and CLS comparisons were awesome! Why didn't they use the E55? That CLS was pretty squirrely. And that minimal nose dive that ramon mentioned about the M5

In the beginning, those guys were driving with pointed boots????????

coz' the cls55 and the m5 are supposed to be in the same class? you can bring in the e55 if you want, but i don't think it will do any better than the cls55

Default Full Race Version!!

Here is the full race version of the video. This is nice.

http://videos.streetfire.net/categor...E6FFC85226.htm


Found this on another site...I guess this is what was said during certain parts of the race..

hilarious, funny how they all got suprised by the M3 at the start. The G driver shouts, "Where the hell did that start come from?!" Also amusing is how the M5 driver keeps criticising his car - "Wheel is heavy, brakes are heavy...this thing won't turn..." Then he decides to drift it.

Nice vid The M5 is a 4 door Viper The Cls55 is just too long to be agile. I want the M5
