That was a cool comparison. The only problem is they did not do a road race

Someone needs to show Clarkson how to turn down the base on that Bose system. Either that or he needs a proper beating.

+1, sadly I don't think he could handle the beating.

If they would have took it to pavement instead of sand and mood , there would be no comparison. THE Z WAS FASTER, LOOKED BETTER, AND HANDLE BETTER THAN ALL CARS EXCEPT FOR THE AUDI ON THE BEACH.

Agreed. They all knew what would have happened on the road. Cool video.

A beach race and a rally race? C'mon. How many owners of those cars are going to drive them in shyt like that? The TT is cute, the Chrysler sucks and the Z is just badass.

Why would they use any of these cars for a rally race? A TT Quattro I could understand, but in a rally race, i'm going to choose an STi or an Evo. You know, cars that are actually modeled for rally racing.

Hah clarkson said the chrysler was good looking. Pretty dumb comparison, not very real world. I wish they told you what happened to the audi too. It broke down in the middle of the test and then its working again.

I found the video highly amusing, which I 'think', was it's intent. Good-oh.

Well..I was simply amazed that Clarkson said something good about the Z.....

...though they were wrong about the ZR vs. the Coupe. The ZR's chassis was designed seperately to be a roadster. So they didn't just cut the top off.

Not a Crossfire...I'm a tech for a Chrysler/Jeep dealership and those things are complete trash to drive and to work on. Never get one. Ever.

hahaha. I figured as much. Despite the obvious biased opinions I think Top Gear is one of the most entertaining car shows I have ever seen. I mean who else goes to Iceland just to race convertables in the mud?

Is not the Z a proper 2 seater? Funny show, although evidently scripted to be a funny show, and not real world driving. Bloody Hell!!!!!

I don't know why Clarkson doesnt like the Z so much....the sound? In his first test he complained of the noise, in this test he did again, and his little biotch said the same. What sound?

Clarkson is a closet Z lover.

If a rally race is what they wanted, someone should have shown up with their old 240z.
