American Touge - DVD - any good?

I am looking at buying the

ENGLISH EDITION VOLUME 3

AMERICAN TOUGE - DVD

Do they show enough "EVO" shots to make it worthwhile buying? Anyone see the DVD yet?

Looking for feedback on it.

Thanks.

Yes, its good ... but the only EVO there, as far as memory serves me, is the Vishnu EVO that couldn't even run because of a leaking head gasket!!! LOL! what a let down ...

Not worth it in my opinion. I'd convince a friend to buy it and then just borrow his.

I thought it was pretty good though the only Evo I remember is the Vishnu one as well. So don't buy it for the Evo but if you like the other cars then go for it.

Yeah we we went down for the event. We later learned that what we thought was a head gasket problem actually turned out to be a ruptured coolant jacket, caused by an overly aggressive port job. We hope to show our faces again when the next one comes around.

I bought the DVD.. it's pretty good. I used to like watching the Hot Version Touge matches in Japan but this time they came to the US so it was nice to see what they had to say about our cars.

Some of the comments were just hilarious! Stuff like, wow, can Americans really build cars that don't just go fast in a straight line? They seemed pretty impressed with the use of superchargers on cars and engine swapping.
