Dam that 26Z was sexy as hell. Would love to buy one of those suckers to keep in the garage.

im sure going straight lots of car will walk the Z. .but a real race comes down to handling. .and close to none can out handle our Z. . .thats why i drive the Z. .not really for the speed. .but for the amazing handling it has. .

Although, the big deal about the Z32 was that the Z was returning to its roots in 'Real Sports,' and this is further achieved by the Z33 which is less of a GT than the Z32, because it's smaller. I don't necessarily know why he doesn't like the Z32 or Z33. There's no doubt that they're both great cars. Wonder if he'll badmouth the GT-R, too.
the top gear guy loved the older skylines in the sense that they were and probably still are the best cars ever made. .

The z32 tt is a very nice car, but for that price (brand new at the time), I would rather get the Supra TT. That being said, the price of the z33 isn't bad for something that is still stylish and affordable. $40k 1990's are a lot more than $40k 2008.

Hehe I agree, he HATES the 350Z. They ran the Z32TT and 350Z in another episode and it didn't lose by that much.

This was discussed so many times before. A lot of the old heads remember these conversations. Stock for stock the 03 350z was faster but only by a very small margin. However if you start modding the 300 of course it going to blow the 350 out of the water. I believe 300zx was trapping in the 1/4 in the low 14's.

Stock for Stock if you were to take 07 - 08 350z it will be much faster than a 300, because the 07 -08 is trapping in the mid 13's

I believe a stock HR would consistently beat a stock Z32TT in straight-line and track configurations, however, invest ~$1500 for NEW aftermarket components ino each car, and quickly the HR goes away in the straight-line category.

Without knowing the original photographer of the picture to bug them about the potential for photoshopping the picture, I'll go out on a very strong limb and say that it is not photoshopped. When I'm at WOT, my oil pressure and boost read the same thing. If I was accelerating through 5th gear and someone took a picture at 160mph, it would, indeed, show this same thing.

throw the same amount of money into each car and the Z32 will be a better looking, and faster car.

stock for stock, they are basically even. (performance wise)

looks go to the Z32!

Clarkston is a fu$kin tard, hes an entertaner(i guess anything will work in england) and doesnt know dick about cars. He hates it cause its an american design with a japanese motor (which he keeps saying is french, even though its 100% japanese and used in some french cars, cause nissan is part owner in renault i think), and he cant find any part of it made near brittan, like he imagines comes up with for everything else, so therefore its crap to him (if even one bolt came from brittan he'd say it was a British engineering marvel, like his ******** about Mitsubishi's 'british' engineers on the evo, what a fu$kn joke).
Hes like most british, doesnt want to make anything, but complains about what everyone else does. Him and those other to mousey fuc%s talk loads of $hit about american cars, yet hammond owns a mustang fastback and a dodge charger, clarkston owned a Escort Cosworth, and a Ford GT or two for a while. The thinks the corvette and viper are good cars (hes obviously never owned one, overpirced pieces of unrealiable trash). I know american cars suck, thats why i have a Fit and a Z, at least i pratice what i preach.

After all, im sure all sports cars are judged on their drag racing speed only, you know like the miata and S2K he loves so much, those things are drag superstars.
The show is fun to watch for the tests they do, but if you want acutal intellgent comments on a car, read car and driver, not the opinion of a fat yellow-toothed, poorly educated, arrgont, sexist, racist pig.
