Nice find...even though the Z was

I wonder why they chose the convertible with auto? I bet they were scared that the 370z would of destroyed the other two cars with a proper manual and a proper cover on top lol...

It always comes down to what cars they have from the manufactures at the time.
It sucks, but it is how it always is.

I was really disappointed at how Ben Collins drove, leaving the VDC on before drifting? Come on.

WTF!
Why'd they choose a convertible?!

What bugs me is that they didn't give him two good runs in the Z. We the viewers couldn't care less about which host wins the battle. We care about the cars.

And while I enjoyed watching the TTRS, it's a $60k car. Maybe they should start doing comparos between the TTRS, the Corvette Z06 and GTR. I'm just saying.

We were discussing this in the UK and have said exactly what you guys have been saying over here.

The only fair thing to have done with the spec cars they chose would to let each driver drive each car and either taken the best or average times.

Sadly, it's all 'for TV' and we shouldn't be thinking, just watching...

How come the TT RS wasn't a vert? Just curious if they make them in verts, and if so, I wonder if things would have turned out differently...

GZ3 · 12-13-2010, 01:32 PM

sadly allot people take these reviews as bibles

Pelican170 · 12-13-2010, 01:33 PM

Why does it seem like anytime they review or test the 370z, its never correct! angers me...

The TT-RS does come in roadster version. I too wonder why they didn't test this version.
