Wow that fit was really moving.
seems fair enough to me. the fit just had better cornering ability than the nsx but the nsx had better top end. and im pretty sure that nsx is not stock. pretty sure both of those drivers are experienced.........just pretty sure
The NSX driver is a competitor in the SuperGT series(JGTC), so nothing wrong with his skills. Ichiro's Fit is fast, pure and simple. It's considered the fastest NA Fit in Japan using an L15 engine (albeit w/ a lot of work). Ichiro's no pro, but he's been racing his Fit for just over a year now, and the buildup he's done from when it was stock is pretty impressive. It's one of his shop's (NOBLESSE) demo cars, so he puts the money into it and the result is what you see in the vid. Best thing -- he drives it to the races/track days; no trailers or nothing, it's a daily driver.
yes passing him up on the outside ........effin sweet

Gotta LOVE how NA sounds!!! I prefer the rumble and noise of a fully built NA engine than a Turbo car ANY DAY!
I've exchanged a few comments with Ichiro over YouTube, he confirmed the engine pretty much had everything you'd expect to do to build up an NA engine minus a cam (still in development it seems) and ITB's.
No word on the power on it on the page but I'm guestimating 150hp to the wheels from what I've read in other places.
Sure you can get more power going Turbo but just look at how that engine responds to throttle inputs! F'ING AWESOME!!!
