370z Top Gear Power Lap

EYE ESS · 06-23-2011, 04:04 PM

Was just re-watching the episode now that I actually own the Z...eat my dust dinosaur!

Seriously though great driving by the Stig as always...I'm upset the Cayman did so well, I was hoping it was en par with the Z.

remember, the caymen R costs almost twice as much as the 370, that buys an awful lot of performance and handling.

Wow, where have you guys been. That episode was almost 2 years ago.

For your viewing pleasure.

Also, notice how the Nismo in the 1st video has a nav. Curious.

OOps just saw someone posted it already.. Hate you cant get those on youtube anymore

Synack · 06-24-2011, 03:56 PM

The nav made the NISMO slower. By default it beats the Lotus and STi.

The Ariel Atom V8 tops the list. Jay Leno must have one of them. He has the slower version of the Ariel.

is it faster than a prius?

blackcherry20 · 07-16-2012, 12:39 AM

Only if the prius driver is preoccupied with large water fowl

Why are most of the commets on this thread bashing the Z? There is alot of Z hating going on in this forum. Sad so sad.

lemon-fresh · 07-16-2012, 02:11 PM

I think its been getting better lately, especially since the haters have figured out that they can get what they need by purchasing a 5.0.

The new cool thing to bash is the manual transmission.

I dunno why that is, I think the 6MT is great, I've installed a 440 gram (sweetknobs.com) stainless steel shift knob and it is smooth as hell. Gonna install the RJM Performance adjustable clutch pedal after the MAF tubes today and I'm sure it is gonna feel ridiculously good (as others have stated). So maybe people don't think 70 bux for a great shift-knob is worth it to make the shifting experience much better.
