I can play it with Windows Media Player, Real Player and DIVX Player. Have you tried those. If not, you might have to alter the properties so it plays avi files. The DIVX player might not have the correct 'Codecs' downloaded.

Cheers Luca , good shout, haven't seen those video's for a little while. Still confused though how heavy is the NSX-R , only ask as you dont' often see a Tiv out dragged on a full throttle straight, around the twisties maybe but on the straight. I know the power of the NSX is 'supposed' to be 280hp ish but to overhaul a cerb with it, it must seriously light .

That NSX is TRUST/Greddy tuned lightweight revision 2 NSX.

It was doing the rounds late 2003/early 2004 in the big jap shows with a couple of skylines I think it was around 480bhp and around 1150kg. I can't remember exactly but I'm sure I can find the Fastcar or Max power mag with the feature in it.

Thanks Craig, that would explain it then .

Thats a bit cheeky of them then, as its listed as 280ps at the start grid overlay!!! But then again the 4.5 is listed as 420hp Plus it looks like the new spec NSX-R with the raised black spoiler and twin lights......... but its funny to watch how hard the cerb driver is working to keep the car on the track - I would love to hear what they say during the debrief as the Cerb driver keeps pointing to the Cerb and laughing......

[cerber450]

Sorry guys the cars actually closer to 400Bhp.
I found the max power with it in.

The figures often thrown about for the NSX-R are 350-400bhp, the weight is somewhere south of 1200kilos, so its pretty much a match for a Cerbera Red Rose/Emeralded (I'll leave austec out till they visit the same rollers as everyone else, but chances are, you can include them too.)

The 280/276bhp is a gentlemans agreement between the major manufacturers in Japan. AFAIK, most tend to agree this is the limit to what you can "claim" your car produces, not the limit to what it actually produces.

IIRC the feedback on the Cerbera was that the back end of the car was all over the place under braking/ cornering which slowed it down big time. Still, nice to see it post a faster lap than the Tuscan and leave it down the main straight

Hmm, time they got back for round two, only this time with a Sagaris...

Top gear drag race.. 911 v Corvette v New NSX v T350t.. the result was an easy victory for the British bruiser.. with the Honda coming in second! apparentely the drag race was run six times in desperation for the Corvette to win the drag but was blitzed every time by the TVR...
