It was on www.suprnova.org and I don't know if it is still there. But if it is, install a bittorent-client before downloading it.

To be honest it isn't worth downloading. The review was very biased and J. Clarkson seemed not to know exactly what he was talking about, eg. he said the engine of the Z was french ,
(just ignoring or not knowing the fact that some french cars have the japanese engines manufactured by Nissan)
He didn't like the Z and was criticising almost everything.

I wish Tim Needell could test the Z.

Tiff has driven the Z. I asked the network about it and they said it was done, quite a long time ago. I've never seen a video yet though.

Here's the email I got back from them when I asked. I got this email in Jan of 2003.

"Dear Andrew

Many thanks for your email to the 5th Gear office.

Tiff Needell flew out to LA last August and filmed with the new 350z.

The item was transmitted in UK in November of last year.

Best wishes
Karen

You guys should do a search for "topgear." You'd be surprised what you'd find.

You can find links to the latest Top Gear review (but I wouldn't bother - because they hate the Z)...

& more importantly the 5th Gear Review of the TT 3.2 vs. the Z on www.350Zuk.com

here's the link to the correct thread...

Enjoy

Wait a minute... 64.6 seconds - 59.6 seconds = 5 seconds. Where did she get 4 seconds? I think someone needs to use a calculator.
hehe.

Anyways, I can't wait untill my Z arrives! I wanna experience the joy she felt.

I think that's some of the most aggresive driving in the Z that I've seen so far, alotta sideways.

The lady is a star! But you really can not fault the review.. it was the definitely the hardest I have seen it pushed on a review outside of a Japanese DVD I bought a few months back.
