The NSX seems pretty planted in the corners. Probably wasn't even trying hard, but the dude in Audi seemed to be.

Did he stop because he ran over the pussy ...

Watching this that NSX looked to be absolutely planted ... anyone wish to rethink the value of the tech built into this thing as it sure looks like it works .. unlike the RS4 computers (or driver)

If I was driving a car and saw somebody driving like that behind me I would slow down and let them past, stop them trying to kill themselves (and their passengers).

Interesting comments made by a US car website.

Coming across a clip that shows the 2017 Acura NSX playing the canyon carving game was enough to get our boost up, but the vehicle serving as the "camera car" for this clip is the one we need to pay attention to in this case.

That's because we're dealing with an Audi RS4 whose driver shows he would do just about anything in his quest to keep up with the brand spanking new supercar.

As the RS guy explained after uploading the footage to YouTube, he was using the practical side of his RS machine to take the necessary groceries, wine included, to the Super Bowl Sunday party, when he noticed the Acura.

As the NSX took the Latigo Canyon Road (some 40 miles away from Los Angeles), the RS4 man decided to follow. So far, this is a path many of us could identify with. Alas, the guy decided to cross the line once the NSX driver started taking his ride past the standard pace. And we're not just talking about the double yellow line here.

The driver of the Audi went all the way, passing through blind corners as if the road has suddenly developed vibrators, turning into a track.

And he did all that while his passenger, who appears to be his SO, was obviously not prepared to have any of his suicidal driving. Which could very well turn this video into a nod to all the girlfriends out there who have to cope with poorly executed throttle abuse.

The NSX driver, who, by the way, wasn't even getting close to the kind of time attack driving his car can deliver, also crossed the double yellow line, but only briefly. However, the guy in the Audi went all the way, sometimes helped by the terminal understeer delivered by the RS4. And this is where the man's need for driving training becomes obvious.

Anybody who does such a poor job at coping with the nose-heavy behavior of his performance vehicle should sharpen up his skill before deciding to put that atmospheric V8 to use.

Oh well, at least the car decided to give up first, perhaps avoiding what could've easily turned into a terrible crash. For instance, we could easily imagine what could've happened if this guy had come across a gentleman towing a log (http://www.autoevolution.com/news/800-hp-lamborghini-huracan-review-brutally-interrupted-by-driver-dragging-a-log-video-103047.html)...

It's an Audi; did anyone really expect it to be driven any differently?

[rtbm]

Erm... not good that...just plain silly.....go to a track, prep well and enjoy whatever car you choose but not at the expense of someone else's life....

Legs like that and I would be swerving too
