Guys watch this! (LEAF beats 370z)

alcheng · 01-08-2012, 12:21 AM

Leaf does not have gear to change because it's electric, so, to make it fair, the Z cannot change gear in this drag race. Either it has to stay at 1st, or start at 6th.

hahahaaa

If Leaf can wins the 370z,then the Honda CR-Z can take on the GTR.!

My friend at work has a CR-Z, I'll set it up lol! I might have to get some drag radials to keep up!

I understand the instant torque of the electric motor and the light weight of the leaf would give it the advantage for like .1 seconds but I have to raise the

on this on. It was set up by a dealer trying to market a car to a crowd that was gonna buy the Z.

Conditions were cold, track was slippery. This was purely a case of Summer tire fail in Winter temperatures. If you listen closely you can see he was really struggling for grip. So yes, over 1/8th mile the leaf had him.

yeah, it looked like there was a ton of wheel-hop going on

C'mon guys really? Really? They'll do anything to move those leafs off the lot, even if that means making a "fixed" video of a leaf beating the Z.

In other words it's fake. If someone truly thinks the Leaf can beat the Z even based on those poor conditions then by all means PLEASE buy the leaf instead.

I think we've all been leaf-rolled....it's like being rick-rolled but with cars.

theDreamer · 01-08-2012, 11:00 AM

Wow, some of you I think are taking this a bit seriously, it was a joke race to just stir the pot.

seriously its a joke. you can tell the Z short shifted and slow rolled first and slows down mid race... just stirring the pot to move the leaf... this is a true "c'mon man" moment.

VQStryker · 01-08-2012, 11:49 AM

there was a handicap, the Z launched in 3rd gear or should I say rolled out in 3rd gear

Ztoon · 01-08-2012, 11:07 AM

Don't know if somebody has messed with the Leaf, but there's been some crazy project cars. Nissan Europe dropped a twin turbo drivetrain of a GT-R in the body of a Juke.
Called the Juke-R. This mutant has the GT-R's engine, tranny, brakes, and suspension in the Jukes reduced wheelbase.

Yea there was a thread here a few weeks ago about a leaf nissan was putting a GTR engine into. I would imagine this is probably the result.
