funny...i would have thought the IS-F would have killed the G37 in the 1/4 by more, that looked more like the difference between a 335i and G37...maybe the murder would be more brutal from a roll?

Some key points I remember: It basically focused on the "FR" throughout the clip which is Front engine, Rear drive. Tsuchiya said he sticks with FR, steer with front, push with rear, it's natural. He liked styling of G37 especially the rear but commented on its weight, 180KG heavier than Z. He disliked the 4 tail pipes of ISF.
G37- he said great brakes, stopping power. He felt VTC kick in as soon as the front tried to slip. Heavy but a nice car.
ISF- called BMW M killer. “Feels good; may want to compete with BMW; lots of torque.” But half way through the circuit he started to change his opinion on the driving feel. Tsuchiya said it’s about how you feel. At the end he chose BMW over ISF. He questioned whether Toyota tested with the driver that knows “FR.” He still feels BMW and Mercedes know how to make FR that is Luxurious.
