maybe i missed something... what place did the GTR get? laps are the fastest, and total time is lowest... i am sure it beat the 350Z...

The Z held off the GTR until the 3rd lap. After that it was gone, no where near the pack when all came in for the final lap. They threw the GTR in there for kicks.
When they listed the final placing, the GTR was listed at the bottom and the Z as first place. I listed everything else as I saw it on the video.

 

Thanks for the info! That was the test I was waiting for. But we still have to factor in driver skill. After seeing that preview, I really want to go to racing school. I need to learn to drive the car the way it is intended. I don't want to disgrace it, or Z heritage, by driving it around as a status symbol.

 

The M3 for whatever reason lost all its time on the first lap, after that it was slightly quicker. Regardless, if the 350Z is competitive with the M3 that is very good company.

I wonder if the Boxster was an S?

 

I just realized i brought the oct issue instead of the nov one ... all they do is talk abt the Z then its sport sedan comparasion.

 

Is the video VHS or DVD?

 

I got it on VCD

 

VCD???

I don't know anything about Best Motoring. Can someone please explain???

 

its Video CD. Basicly low quailty DVD. The quailty is like the best motoring preview's quailty. You need a computer with a normal cd player and windows media player to watch it.

 

i don't know where you can get a VCD copy of it. I haven't really investigated...
I'm in LA, so I just go down to Little Tokyo and hit the video stores to rent a VHS copy.

 

Wait a minute, this does'nt make sense, shoud'nt you take the best lap time, to compare cars?!

This was not a race, so forget the slow laps.
