hmm, something doesnt seem right. Lets say bad launch by the M6...yet this car still pwns an R34 GTR as well..
I call BS, video's are rigged !! Nah but the dude in the right lane (with a hat) seems to be a better driver... |

Numbers speak....go to dragtimes if you want real M6 times.
That being said, it is easy to goof up a SMG launch, you need to guess how much throttle and how quickly you need to apply to get a good launch. It is the difference between low 12s and low 13s. That being said, Japanese & Impartiality don't go together in Japanese car reviews.

The M6 lost to the NSX due to bad launch(Duh). I have seen the whole episode of this series named 'best motoring' and at the beginning of this episode, the deal between the driver's was that you don't need get to practice launching each car. They do all their races in 1st attempt.
I am sure with a better launch a M6 would obviously slay a NSX-R. The driver can also use launch control to get better results

umm I would never say the guy on the right is the better driver, the guy driving the M6 is the "drift king". He just had a bad launch and they should of raced again.

Considering stock nsx-r's *can* run in the 12's due to their insane lightweight and aerodynamics....Id say thats pretty impressive, from a car with less than 300 hp...(did I mention its pretty much a 15 year old design...changing headlights doesnt count)
