Default 350Z vs Z4: have you seen this video?

I found this in the Roadster section of the forum.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=Empj3pb8Bno

This is a great video.

Can anyone tell me which rims are on the 350Z in the video?

They look like the rims from the Z GT Coupe?

I liked them.

Anyone>?

i dont understand is he in 5th gear trying to go as fast as he can down the straight away? maybe the rev limiter only lets it go a certain speed. but i liked how the z brakes hard and then the z4 takes him and is all excited. lol.

There are some pretty long threads about this video if you guys are interested.

I don't think they're biased as Fifth Gear and especially Tiff Needell are huge fans of the 350Z.

Not sure why they would test 3 events if they were going to pick the loser.

I test drove a Z4 and thought long and hard before pulling the trigger on the 350Z. The Z4 is a nice car, no question, and the quality is good, drives nice, and I like the interior, but..........

I cant get past the long hood and chopped rear. After I Picked up my ZR, I drove by the BMW dealer after hours and put them side by side to confirm, I felt much better after, the 350ZR is a much better looking car.

The Z4 felt a little more "classy," old school "ritzy" but the 350Z at first drive feels like a proper sports car. It has a rough around the edges brute power feel to it. Thats why I bought the 350Z over the Z4.

Both cars are nice, but I chose pure performance over snobbery.

Who are you to be talking like that little boy??

As far as I know, the US is the only country that does not teach a second language to their children nor study geography from any other part of the world. (that is just to start)
So lets not talk about ignorance.

Also, you are driving a japanese car, which are good, but so are german ones. The only crappy ones are the american ones... go figure!

They were probably measuring acceleration? Since they were coming from a turn.

Because they only measured performance. Not style, interior, or car feel.

I do have a Z, and I love it, but there are many things that should be changed on the car.

I'm pretty sure he was joking. How many Americans move to another country because their living conditions are terrible? None. No need to learn another language if you are born and raised in America, am I right? Yes, I know that it helps knowing other languages, but that is just because half of our population has english as a second language.

Maybe other countries should teach English first, and learn their native language second. That would seem to make more sense, since everybody ends up in our country anyway. Also, how many American Made cars have you owned? Just curious.

Just my
