Ouch indeed.

Sure glad I didn't rush out and spend my paper route money on one .

Not haven driven it I can't comment on its ride characteristics, however from what I saw in the video it sure looks like a plain jane performer. And the engine sounds terrible, absolutely terrible.

Cheers,

Woah. There's a diss for the 350Z.

At least the guy liked the 240Z :classic: .

I don't think the video or sound on the video is enough to judge the car's performance. While I still prefer the G35 coupe, it does seem to me that this guy was a bit biased. I'm certainly not sure about the claim that the engine is French from Renault. Unless the UK version is somehow different I believe the engine is simply the latest version of Nissan's rock-solid VQ35.

That guy reminds me of Simon on American Idol. Same type of attitude, too.

Ouch..... :dead:

Ouch..... :dead:

Dang that was crappy for that zx owner....sheesh Mercy!!!

All the Top Gear videos on Japanese cars have been pretty much harsh like that one. They seem to be against them and don't give a real evaluation in my opinion. "Where your dog would normally go" um that comment is an example of what I mean. I have seen video's from Best Motoring comparing the new Z with the much more powerful M3, S 2000, Porsche Boxter and the out come was the Z taking 1st. In my opinion the new Z is an excellent performance car and the only thing I would agree with Top Gear is some of the quality used in its interior.

Ouch!.

I have to say being a Z fan I'm a bit on and off these cars I'd really like to drive one though just to see what the story is for myself.

But the ZX owner OUCH!!!:tapemouth

yeaouch. Whenever I see this guy I can't help but think he's just saying as much crap as he can about the car in question to be controversial.

And he's a British Car Journo. Of course he's going to lay it on thick with a Japanese car! :stupid:

What you failed to mention in that vid with the S2000 and the M3 and the Boxter was how for the first 3 laps, that Skyline was doing some very good blocking for the 350Z.

If you ask me, if it wasnt for the Skylines blocking I think the S2000 would have taken the 350Z easily.

Zmefly your right. Without the GTR the S 2000 had advantage on the cornering but on the straight away I would give it to the Z. So It would have been a good match. But good point.
