JDM racing at Tsukuba

The battle of JDM legends racing at Tsukuba gives us all an idea of just who is the fastest. The race consists of the top JDM vehicles available on the market today. Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X Ralliart, Subaru Impreza WRX STi Spec C, Lexus IS-F, Nissan 370z Nismo, and NSX type R all are compared in this legendary race of JDM supremacy. Who will win?

More intense racing battles!

If you guessed Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X, you are correct. The Mitsubishi wins by sheer power in the straights, pulling away from the second place vehicle. Evo's are better than Impreza's in the straights, and Impreza's are better than the Evo's in the corners. The winner is clearly defined by the track style. Learn more about Evo vs WRX here. Subaru Impreza WRX STi pulls into second place, but shortly behind it resides the NSX type R. Zipping around the corners of Tsukuba, this race illustrates the Evo's power, and the Subaru's cornering ability.

What happened to the Nissan 370z Nismo and Lexus IS-F? They are pulling up the rear thanks to lack of power. The Nismo Z in stock form lacks the low end power needed in the Tsukuba corners. The Lexus is too heavy and cannot hang through corners or power in the straights to keep up with the crowd. Both of these vehicles feature more luxury options than the top three competitors, and it is seen in their handling. Overall, the competition is close with all vehicles except the Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X. Winning with more than two seconds ahead of the last place vehicle, Evo domination is clearly evident!
