Alfadog Posted December 21, 2004 Share #1 Posted December 21, 2004 Just downloaded this large Hot Metal episode where Clarkson compares new cars with old.. great one hour video and even featured a bit with Z's in. So I thought some of you might like it:http://www.if-hosting.com/users/alfadog/Z_test_small.rm (under 1MB, very poor quality)http://www.if-hosting.com/users/alfadog/Z_test_medium.rm (5.66 MB) Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/14393-all-zs-drag-clarkson-video/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gee Posted December 21, 2004 Share #2 Posted December 21, 2004 That was great! I wonder what the 260 REALLY had under the bonnet though! Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/topic/14393-all-zs-drag-clarkson-video/#findComment-105793 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo560 Posted December 21, 2004 Share #3 Posted December 21, 2004 really the 240 should have beaten the 260. it was 200kg lighter and had about 20 more hp than the 260.Tom.

TTDRIVER Posted December 21, 2004 Share #4 Posted December 21, 2004 In my opinion, I believe that the Top gear guys always tend to hate on Japanese cars and not test them properly. Clearly that silver 300zx twinturbo had some type of modification to beat the other red 300zx twinturbo. Not to mention a 260z running 14's and keeping up with a 350z. As far as weight goes, its true that cars are getting heavier but the 300zx is heavier than the newer 350z. So that clearly defeats the purpose of the test. Cool video though. Its nice to see all the Z's running together even if it wasnt accurate.
