Nothing like a classic Best Motoring video to brighten up a dour afternoon, particularly with that there election hanging over us. And this is an especially good one, even by Best Motoring's very high standards.
It's the c. 300hp icons from the turn of the millennium, pitched against each other in a Tsukuba shootout. So yes, all of your Japanese Gran Turismo icons are there, and all instantly recognisable from just three letters: STI, Evo, RX7, GT-R, NSX. A decent line up already, but here they're joined by an E46 M3 - look, on 18-inch wheels as well - and a 996-era Porsche 911 Carrera. A fascinating comparison if ever there was one.
Conditions are not ideal, the damp tarmac probably favouring the 4WD cars, though we'll try not to let that spoil the fun. The starting order was decided by a qualifying shootout and the drivers, as always, look very handy. Indeed this comparison looks so tantalising that we've not even seen it until the end yet; we'll sit down and watch the rest of it now. Here goes!
