300zx - Top Gear

http://youtu.be/EeNZluEhydE

pretty neat!
you probably knew it already but i havnt heard or seen this before!

I Like! :zlove:

 

So, I'm having this race. I'm in a Turbo Z and these other zed's are after me? But they can't catch me.....

....Long story short, the Twin turbo's kicked in.

I hope the designer of the 350z saw this vid.

Love seeing these vids comparing car models over the years!

On another note, Hammond on a mini motorbike vs. a somewhat modified turbo Z. The EPIC showdown...

LOL that was hella funny!!!!:rofl:

300zx: [TIS]
300zx: :br:
Hammond: you uhh, you know, I could have had him!

 

The 300zxTT is on topgear about 5 or 6 times.

Theres a whole episode where Hammond drives one on another wacky adventure.

 

Just because its newer doesn't mean it's better - that poor 350 copped a serious beating

In other news I LOVE the exhaust note on those earlier Datsun Z's

 

That was the rear wheel drive challenge right? I wonder if anyone found Hammond's targa top that clarkson threw off the cliff!?!?

For those interested: (Split into parts, but at least you get to see a zed the whole way through! )

Also S13E05 has the 1500 pound RWD challenge where hammond buys a TT.

 

If my eyes dont deceive me, the Z31 was coming last. Way last..... how shameful.

 

Whats amusing about it, is the other cars are quite clearly complete buckets of crap yet the Zed is pretty much perfect. Everything works, handles fine, plenty of power - nothing wrong with it at all.

 

Actually, the really funny thing about that (and something my GF picked up way before I did) is when Hammon gets out of the car for the first time, he pulls the seat belt back up on the door (around 2:15 in the first vid for the players at home).

I've done the same thing for a couple of years now... I really need to fix that.

Oh and the second funny thing is that it shows the tremendous drop in value of Zeds in other countries too...

 

Theres also another ep where they use a 300zx as a burnout car.

 

Always annoyed me that Hammond spun the Z on the track. I wonder what time it actually did?

 

I noticed that too and had a giggle as I've found myself doing this in both Kaesy's NA and when working on my not-quite-mine-yet TT at Bryan's.
