hi - Top Gear were given a pre production model. It was not tuned ( chassis or engine ). They have since tested it again and given it great plaudits. They are fantastic. Today mine smashed a kinder egg that was in a box in my boot. The chocolate was outside the foil, and the foil was still wrapping the toy. That is Savage!
There's nothing wrong with the performance of a 350z. They perform very closely to your EVO stock for stock, and IMO look a heck of alot better. I don't have one, but I have driven several, and having owned a 300zx, the 350z is true to the spirit of the Z car.
What are YOU talking about? The 0-60 and 1/4 mile times of an 07-08 350z with the HR engine are within half a second of the EVO, and they pull over .91 G's on the skidpad. I'd say that's fairly close. If you race them from a roll stock for stock, which is the real test of how fast a car truly is, the Z can win depending on the year of EVO. Racing from a dig is a test of traction as much as anything. Don't compare a G35 to an 07-08 350z, same platform, but not the same car.
This is a British show so she uses British English, 'Zed'. Coupé (koo-pay)is the way you say it instead of 'coop' because it's French word means to cut. Widen you eyes, America is not the only country in this world. And don't just listen to system of a down.
Well...I can't say that because I've never driven one. Just pointing out that it's necesity or lack therof should have nothing to do with whether it is functional or not.
EVO MR has a zero to 60 in less the 5 seconds too boss... as for the g35, its a luxury vehicle, but I have the touring package which has the stiff springs, brembos, and 19'' rims. Its not completely different. :) G35 is a cruiser, 350z is more of a sports car (no back seat too)
I've got the 2008 350Z Roadster with the VQ35HR Engine and brembo's etc (track). I LOVE the car! It's sooo awesome. Except the duel mass flywheel. But I can tell you my car does NOT sound ANYTHING like that one in this clip. I'd almost suspect Nissan gave them one with a Nismo exhaust system on it, to make it sound better for the punters. Either that or we're ripped of in Australia. Exhaust upgrade to a true duel system is next on my "to do" list.
smarter on the red line indicator??? I love the RX-8, its a great fun to drive, but I must say it is not as satisfying as the Z in terms of driving experience. Give the 8 another 100 hp and it is another story. But the Z does have far sexier lines (albeit an interior that leaves a bit to be desired). I spent a bit of time in both cars before I ended up buying my Z and I have been happy with my choice.
So what is the purpose of the light? To tell you when to shift? If that is the case, then would'nt be nice if it did it without compromising safety? You say, you should know when to shift..fine..but what does that have to do with the light's function?
I researched the HR engine, and its quite better, Im sorry for using the older model in my debate, but thats all I've seen. The HR uses the new horsepower rating system, which is much more strict.... I have heard it's over 20whp higher then the old model (which is considerable!)
The EVO is also a pig by those standards. The power to weight ratios of the 2 cars are very similar.. and a G35 is much more a pig than a Z, particularly a 350z that hasn't been optioned out to weigh 3400-3500lbs. Some of the Z models also have a much tighter suspension than a G35. The difference in weight and suspension makes them very different cars to drive hard.
Cont'd what a mistake / I'm gg to trade back in for the Z asap. Subarus are fine but the Z w the top down here in southern CA w the Bose playing- cant be beat for fun factor and the money
@adampope64 But the best nissan's never made out of the japan, the GTR's never sold out of japan, except for the R35... The best silvia, the S15 didn't came out of japan too... so In other countries you only had the Z as a good sportscar, wich in the later years were a bit too fat...
all 350Z's perform well, you need to rev the engine and use the gearbox.. it's naturally aspirated.. and the handling is better than all previous models... I outhandled a Ferrari 308 GTB this morning in mine.. If you think it's not a fast car then learn how to drive.
I have a 350z and it scares the living shit out of you. Please don't buy one unless you are an excellent driver. If you are a great driver then you will have an enormous amount of fun.
dude... half a second is a LONG TIME when talking about 0-60 times... From a roll, yes, they will behave similarly. From a dig, the evo will eat the 350 up. And on a track the advanced AWD EVO again dominates the 350z. If the 350z were properly light (i.e. ~2750 pounds) it would be a complete monster, but its a pig :( How do you get off not calling a g35 similar to a 350?
she probably shifted all the right people's gears(if yuh kno wut i mean) to get where she is today. i dont care if shes a race car driver or not, shes still a woman.
Great test drive. I have a Z and simply adore it. One of the best handling, "pure" sports cars in the world for under $40,000.

This is one nice car indeed, the new VQ35HR engine is so perfect for this price. Also a nice review by her.
thanks for the insight. ive been stumped all day about that. thanks again!

the 370 can actually do a 0-60 time in under 5 sec. so its definitely a great performer this year.
They’re surprisingly quick despite their looks. The NISMO version’s as quick as a stock E46 M3 to 60. I don’t want to be seen as a ricer boy though.
Does anyone know what the music is at the start of this video please?
Cannot find it anywhere!!!? thank you
hey did the change the speedometer 2 180 are was it always like that i thought it waz 160

Can you sit comfortable in this car if you'r 1.95? I'm almost 18 and want to buy this car!!

Gotta love the Z And I certainly love mine :D

Does anyone know where she is driving in this video? cheers
yes you fit perfectly fine dont worry mate, im 1.93 and i fit pretty good in mines
So what is the purpose of the light? To tell you when to shift? If that is the case, then would'nt be nice if it did it without compromising safety? You say, you should know when to shift..fine..but what does that have to do with the light's function?
you do, it blinks brightly so you notice it when looking out the windscreen

thanks for the info, I may start saying 'zed' from now on

s2000 are cool. Great exhaust sound. I prefer a bigger engine with no turbo though.

Actually it is more like Zet than Zed.
I guess it derives from the original latin Z or the Hellenic (greek) Zeta
In my 350z I get respect from al the other fast cars ( because they know ).
Some try and blast me most fail.
I love you Vicki (L)
and an awesome car...
I traded my 06 Z for a Subaru Outbsck Sport for practical reasons. Cheaper on gas and insurance and roomier of course.
I believe it is "zed" like that is just how the Z is pronounced.
just have to wait for GTR
i can't quit a day of driving my 350z :DD
the s2000 doesnt have a turbo...

new gtr is going to fuking be number 1
Yet top gear gave it car of the year 2004
It's spelled 'coupe' and 'cheeky'.
I have a 350z and it scares the living shit out of you.
Please don't buy one unless you are an excellent driver.
If you are a great driver then you will have an enormous amount of fun.
350z's dont even touch EVO's man, what are you talking about?
I own a g35, so dont think im just hating, but its not close to an MR performance.
I can even do 120 in second with my old bimmer 525i e34 1992:P
hahahahah!!! that is true!
dude... half a second is a LONG TIME when talking about 0-60 times...
From a roll, yes, they will behave similarly. From a dig, the evo will eat the 350 up. And on a track the advanced AWD EVO again dominates the 350z. If the 350z were properly light (i.e. ~2750 pounds) it would be a complete monster, but its a pig :(
How do you get off not calling a g35 similar to a 350?
funny how a 1400kg car is now considered light 13 years later
she probably shifted all the right people's gears(if yuh kno wut i mean) to get where she is today. i dont care if shes a race car driver or not, shes still a woman.
LMAOOO
Trump!
rofl, evo 9 mr runs 12's stock and has 4.4 0-60 lol cmon man, its not the same car :)
because it's 4wd and has the line launch. roll race is different .
kmh
why the fuck does she keep calling it a ''350 zed''??? its driving me fuckin crazy!!!
that's how it's said. you're speaking English.
she bugs me....clarkson/hammond FTW
oh and its NISSAN nor NEESAN you bloody yanks lol!!
