mr2 is by far a better platform for track, it is just that driving it fast is not easy and also that this one seems like a car taken out of a debris container... the civic is well done and has by far better developement regarding track.
Not gonna lie, I think this video was poorly produced. It was a let down. How about you guys actually let these 2 battle it out wheel to wheel? That split screen with the time in the middle was a boner killer and not exciting to watch. Let them race on full attack doing 5 laps and film that. Both of them on the track coming within inches of each other if they have too.
I’ve always wanted to get an MRS and wide body, so sexy. Can’t wait to see it after it’s all dialed in. With that said, I am a Honda guy all my life, working on my own ep3 civic. Go honda
I understand everyone makes the mistake of assuming West Virginia and Virginia are similar enough that they are interchangeable. Please note that the state of West Virginia actually split from Virginia during the civil war to stay with the north and that there are really distinct cultural differences at play.
That MRS build has had sketchy handling from day one. I don't know why he didn't dial in the handling first before doing anything else. There is another channel on here where he shows him being interviewed with the car already painted and he still says the handling is sketchy. I know people who are familiar with the Frankenstein motorworks car, it's very fast; no wide body, no LSD.
Yeah. The widebody is for the gram. Spyders can fit pretty wide tires without one. But if you're making videos it makes sense to put effort into aesthetics to get clicks.
The bens rock!!!! Been following them for quite sometime. That Mr-s just needs to be dialed. It'll get there. The bens don't f around! Then they'll take it on a road trip to Hawaii. Lol
"Car universally praised for it's excellent handling that has RWD is better on track than a well-handling FWD car" yeah, probably, but if the miata is stock everything except for the engine I would still bet on this particular civic
@@ulasgursoy2838 from experience. Given the amount of money spent on this particular civic spent on any generation miata with a miata engine the miata will always win.
@@ulasgursoy2838 "a stock miata with an engine swap will lose to a purpose built track car that has been stripped out and put in almost every track mod possible" well that's pretty darn obvious
Let's take a moment to realise that these guys will wear all the safety gear, but with a tshirt on. This is something very common with car TH-camrs, stuff like this, or safety belts being loose etc. If you can wear a carbon Stilo, you can afford a suit. Wear it.
bruh 99% of people just wear normal shirts and stuff to a track should they were a suit? yes. is it normal not to wear one especially in low stakes track days? also yes
@@RogueCowTurd I hear you, and I know thats what happens, but from my experience, a track rental for something like in this video, there is usually less presence of rescue staff and marshalls to help you, so I might argue it's more important to wear the suit, if that makes sense.
Lmao 4 years of development and hundreds of hours of seat time vs something put together in 2 weeks and 0 seat time😂 how did you expect it to be closer?
Short Ben is going to win, and it’s going to be a stomp. Prep time is half the equation. It almost seems disrespectful from Tall Ben to show up so unprepared. If I were the host of Driving line I’d be PISSED.
the MR-S is so far from finished you really got to wonder why they even went through with this
Agreed. It was really anticlimatic
They already planned this out before so it would be crazy not to go with it when they already booked flights
I need that shirt asap! Great vid
The MR2 is a far superior track platform but like he said development takes a lot of time
That k20 sound! Mr-s is looking great paint aside.
K24
I think Konig USA have a vid on their channel where it's got a livery on
So shocked to see Ben win like that..
Hey don't spoil it, I didn't watch the video yet
Ikr, I for sure thought Ben was gonna lose, but it's suprising to see Ben win instead.
😂 which Ben tho ?
@@asianinashedno kidding, Ben was so much better than Ben
It was Bens' race to lose. Lol.
Mr2 did surprisingly well for how little development it has. I think if it had the same development time it would be the faster car.

just got done with asian ben's mr2 video, finished it a couple minutes ago just in time for this! BEN BATTLE!
it's tall Ben, not Asian Ben! Don't differentiate by race differentiate by height!
@@loganweaver5868although I agree I'm pretty sure Ben used to have a license plate that said "AsianBen" or something like that
@@dadhats that's fair!
@@dadhats I completely forgot about that
@@loganweaver5868 0 👍00 👍
I think that toyota needs a spoiler to hold the rear to the floor
We've seen Ben beat Ben before. Where have you been?
Mr2 is going to look sick when it's completed
Hopefully it won't take 3 years. 😮
But if it does it'll be worth it.
@@WarriorsPhoto not to spoil, but it's already done, ran gridlife @ lime rock a couple weeks ago.
@@JacobHalfman No spoil done.

I really thought Mia's name had similar inspiration to Lana the Evo 😅

Hopefully they do it again after a season or so of development from Lin
Cxx,p

1z,2z,and 2zr 💪🏽 all day with dual vvt.
I think you missed the part where he puts the intake cam onto the exhaust side to create a dual vvt for the 2ar. 2ar is the king.
I'm seeing the Zzw30 chassis everywhere. Are these the next big thing?
Those things are incredible light
No.
Probably, I have one. Insanely good chassis.
Yes, best kept secret is out the bag 😢
Love my MRS. 🤫
the camera work to make it look close was really funny actually i enjoyed that a lot :)
Knew Ben with the civic had it . Just watched there channel lol 😂
I think Ben is going to win…Just my opinion..
Boa noite congrats carros vai amén bom trabalho

The MRS is already toast. He blew it up at Lime Rock after again struggling with the poor set up.
@@zerohikari2685oh damn seriously
@@zerohikari2685oof
Thank you, Ben & Ben! Great video!
That hatchy. Yes sir.
I can’t believe Ben won 😮
I predict Ben is going to win
My money is on Ben
Ok but what if ben actually drove backwards? Would it have been closer?
Mr2 should have had a k.

if you're ever in the northeast I'd love to be on the show 👀

You switch cameras too much to tell what's going on.
:)
we want a round 2 with the civic and lana the evo
🔥🔥
Mr2 kinda looks like a baby Carrera GT imo
Kswap miata is better than Kswap EK any day of the week at any track.

Ben gets the win 🎉
Bummed it wasn't a little closer but still a fun watch!

@@aaronvector4750 Please point out where i said i expected it to be closer.
I thought this generation of MR2 is rear engine not mid engine that's why nobody liked it.
It is rear-mid-engined, that's why it's got MR in its name.
NTO1s FTW!!

Front wheel drive is not a downside. That is a faulted and incorrect statement.
name one FWD car with a sub 7.30 burgerking time (there are none because fwd is a downside)
Right.. since the fastest forms of Motorsport like the F1 use FF setup right? MR is the ideal layout my friend.
