Hmmm, doesnt seem to accurate. I love top gear and they usually have the best reviews but with the 350s # 5.3-5.5 0-60 and 13.9-14.1@101 in the quarter opposed to the 1990 Z32TT which is 5.5-6.0 0-60 and 14.1-14.4@99 ud think i might have been a little closer.

very nice clipā€¦damn my non-turbo car!!! lol

time for a swap :rolleyes:

I doubt that videoā€™s accurate as well, he probably misshifted or something.

lol dun look at my car

u think if it was inaccurate he wudda won

I hate that guyā€¦ He seriously hates the Z.

It should have def been closer, alot closer.

Soo hostile now eh Churchill?

Just FYI, Jeremy Clarkson (and the brits) give the WORST car reviews everā€¦ HOWEVER, him and the Top Gear crew are ridiculously entertainingā€¦

NOTHING in their ā€˜stage in mindā€™ can beat the Aston Martin; all while downplaying AMā€™s preformance handicap. Itā€™s a gorgeous car and all, itā€™s crappy when considering performance of their competition.

Definitely not the best representation of what would happen!

well im sure any body who gives car reviews are gunna be biased to a certain car or a certain make

hahah, is it that transparent??
LoL! ya i agree, top gear reviews are quite humorous.

:smiley:

I was at the coin wash last month and this Vanquish pulls up to the enclosure next to me. I make my way over to speak with him about his car, and before I get around the wall he pops out and says ā€œhey nice rideā€, I was like ??? are you F*kn kidding me!

Anyhow, he turned out to be a true enthusiast. He even had picks of his race ported FD Rx7, R2 model IIRC. Oh, and this guy was in his early 40ā€™s tops.

It just shocked me that he would even notice my Z when heā€™s rolling in a 200k ride.

C:)

You havenā€™t watched Top Gear have you?

Itā€™s understood that thereā€™s going to be bias, but they take it to the next level.

Funny show, and definitely entertaining, but donā€™t scratch your head too hard when you see questionable results. (Jeremy Clarksonā€™s a crappy driver anyways)

That was staged. The Z33 was slowing down at the end.

Granted, the Z32 TT is definitely faster stock for stock, thereā€™s no question. It also cost a lot more money compared to a Z33 (even before adjusting for inflation, the Z32 TT cost in the low 40s USD compared to 27-28 USD for a Z33). When Nissan designed the Z33, they realized how they previous car (Z32) got away from the ā€œaffordable sports carā€ model they started with, so they wanted to make the new car sporty in a simple mannerā€¦ stick in a big, bullet-proof NA engine.

And the idea that the 260Z could come even close to the 350Z in acceleration is just ridiculous. Again, look at the videoā€¦

Iā€™ll take my slower, easier to repair car (Z32s are COMPLEX!), thank you very much :smiley: . I know what itā€™s capabilities are, what they arenā€™t, and Iā€™m quite satisfied knowing itā€™s definitely a true Z car that makes the lineage proud. Nissan has a helluva job to do in trying to top it with the next model. I hate when reporters (Iā€™m not calling him a journalist) let their biases dictate their findings, not the other way around.

no that i dontā€¦i dont normally keep an eye out for certain showsā€¦even my fav shows to watchā€¦i cud care less if i missed themā€¦typically i do
