I've run with a 300Z TT and they are rockets.

Is Tiff Needle even working for Top Gear anymore? This other guy they have doing reviews knows very little about cars.

This test was not objective at all, either. They just don't get it.

This all seems to be footage from the WORST top gear episode I have ever seen clips of. Odd, I really enjoy watching anything with Tiff.. but this is just SO bad.

Interesting how they dont show the *classic* Z32 though, its the Japanese model with the minor change (96+)

To quote them about the Z32 "Giant wobbly car for putting Americans in" greaaaaaaaaaaat. Dont get me wrong, most Americans are larger people.. but stupid statements like this just dont go far. For one, the above picture isnt the USDM model. But second, the USDM model varies NONE in terms of outer appearance from the JDM Z.

I showed some of that review and the negative Z33 review to friends who know nothing at cars to see if it was just me who was very unpleased with their review -- we're not alone, these guys are just talking, NOT reviewing. If you guys want to watch something good about the Z, purchase the Best Motoring 350Z Shock video -- its the best DVD you will ever buy.

They canned Top Gear a while back and Tiff, Quentin and Vicky all went off.

Then when they recreated the new Top Gear (which is longer (good), but more comedy/chat show than car show (bad)) only Clarkson was reinstated.

Tiff and Vicky are on another channel over here and now have a programme called 5th Gear which is similar to the old Top Gear. Just testing cars (usually sideways).

BTW. The test of the 350z vs. 300zx was run over 1/5th of a mile for some bizarre reason.

Default Thanks...

BTW I had an '83 Rabbit GTI (American built, of course). It was a fun car for the time. That brought back some fond memories.

www.bestmotoringvideo.com ...you can purchase it through their site or you can buy it from Fry's electronics, Best Buy, or the other stores listed on their site. BEST MOTORING Video is the best entertainment there is for diehard JDM car fans...I got it for $17.99 at Best Buy! I also have 3 other volumes covering RX8, WRX STI, NSX, and my collection is only expanding.
