Top Gear - Guess the 370Z's Time around the track...

chubbs · 07-20-2009, 07:23 PM

On Sunday the 26th July the 370Z will be on Top Gear.

If the Stig does a fast lap in it, what time will it do?

Have a guess and I will add you into the leaderboard below.

If your chosen time has already been taken, you will go below the person who chose it before you.

Whoever guesses the actual time wins 10 million internets. In the event of a tie, the person who chose the winning time first will receive all the internets, but be expected to give one internet to anyone who also guessed the correct time. If nobody guesses the correct time, I keep all the internets for myself. If the track is wet, damp, or partly damp, we can all have an argument about the difference this made to the time.

This competition closes at midnight on Saturday the 25th - UK time (which is between 5 & 8 hours earlier than midnight if you're one of those american weirdos).

56 guesses so far, + TVfreakazoid.

Here's the relevant part of the leaderboard, to help you...

hey32g · 07-20-2009, 07:26 PM

1:28.5

OnCallZ · 07-20-2009, 08:01 PM

I agree with hey32g, I'll say 1:28.8

Cjanik · 07-20-2009, 08:02 PM

1:29.3

bboypuertoroc · 07-20-2009, 08:05 PM

I say 1:28.

EDIT: Since that time's already taken, I say 1:27.9.

SnakeBitten · 07-20-2009, 08:08 PM

Id say around 1:28 dry track. Alot of those numbers were on wet tracks. But the old model did do a 1:31 in the dry so there has to be at least a 2-3 sec improvement hopefully. Keeping it conservative

Brazilbro · 07-20-2009, 08:11 PM

i just hope it beats the evo x.. i say 1:28.20

SnakeBitten · 07-20-2009, 08:26 PM

^^Im pretty sure if its a dry track it will beat the EVO X. It already did stateside in one test cant remember were to fine it though.

spearfish25 · 07-20-2009, 08:29 PM

realistically, 1:30.5

Trips · 07-20-2009, 08:46 PM

Like I posted on another thread top does not appear on july 26. Verizon fios does show it on monday july 27 at 5:00 pm can someone enlighten me. Thanks

import111 · 07-20-2009, 08:54 PM

My guess is 1:27.9

ssqpolo · 07-20-2009, 09:00 PM

1:28.8

nogoodname · 07-20-2009, 09:02 PM

1:29:8 dry

Ellz · 07-20-2009, 09:12 PM

I'll go a 1.29.5 dry.

370z4Steve · 07-20-2009, 09:15 PM
