R-Magic is now the fastest rwd car on tsukuba

This is sorta old news, but i just heard about it. I did a search and didnt see anything about it. R-Magic's "pink version 4" car beat RE Amemiya's record (55.947 vs 56.863) on Tsukuba making it the fastest rwd car Tsukuba. Hopefully RE Amemiya will make a faster car and possibly get the overall fastest time on Tsukuba.

to see the car and its specs click on the drop down box in the top left and click on "R Magic ピンク4号"

for those who dont have japanese font its the 25th one down.

Looks like ****. Good to see that they are pushing the limits though. I wonder how much boost each car is running.

As much as I love RE Amemiya, there just isn't anyway the can compete with the likes of HKS with a full carbon fibered bodied EVO. So while the fastest time for RWD is something they can once again achieve I don't ever see them touching the big guns with their AWD EVO's and Skylines.

At least not at Tsukuba perhaps, since the track is very short with extremely tight turns, prime environment for AWD. At faster circuits that aren't like a kart track, AWD doesn't hold such a big advantage.

I hope Amemiya can come back and beat this. What is the best time for Evo 54? I am sure it would be possible but it is alot more money than a shop the size of Amemiya can put out. Already with their JGTC endevours it is impressive.

I am sure at a track like Fuji or Suzuka the story would be different.

There is a very similar kit on ebay right now, i'd venture to say it's the same but i'm not 100% sure. It does have the rectangle lights like that though, you'd have to paint the cover to match the r-magic lights though.

Head lights are sweet but the hood and squred off side skirts have to go.......


And on the AWD, your comparing apples to oranges. The post is about a RWD record, so why bring up something that is obviously going to pull harder G's?

How is it off topic? The subject was RWD/Tsukuba/Feed beating RE Amemiya. I came back with RE Amemiya RWD on Tsukuba with a quciker time than the FEED...

Toyota/Minolta (Not even a rotary) on Tsukuba is an MR vs the FR in question...and it's not even in the same class. Granted one is game vs real record... Polyphany car can kill the 40.03x with out even thinking. Up for some time trial challenges? Dradon? (All in good sport) ylsuper: I will bust out the Minolta and see what I can get on Tsukuba so I can gauge the talent behind the poster (Or pehaps a lack thereof on my part)
