You can see my partner in crime Anthony Burden and his Jetta begining at about 3:56 of the video and see the NISMO Stuff Frontier at beginning at about 7:41 of the video. Nothing truly earth shattering here, just cars going by...
The interesting part to me is in viewing how each vehicle's suspension handles the little whoops that are present in this section...
If you time both the NISMO Stuff Frontier and Anthony's Jetta across the field of vision from the moment they fully appear from behind the large tree on the viewers left hand side of the road to the moment the vehicle leaves the screen it takes 8 seconds for each to travel that distance. So both vehicles are travelling at roughly the same speed.
Yet while the Jetta sees its front driver's side tire leave the ground at least twice, once by a significant amount, the NISMO Stuff Frontier keeps all four tires firmly planted on the ground with the suspension travel nicely cycling up and down to absorb the bumps and drops. While this does make for better control of the vehicle, the driver's inherent lack of skill prevented it from travelling faster through this section as my inexperience keeps me from pressing harder at this point.
