They usually give cars to the press to test several months before official release so I would hope that it should show up in one of the first few episodes.

I think this is perfectly normal with a shifter directly connected to the tranny, It doesn't bother me at all. Its a sports car, i don't even know why its even mentioned, or even seen as a fault.

I just watched a YouTube video of the McClaren F1. That car rattles your bones apart, is deafeningly loud, and I'm sure has vibration through the shifter. I can't imagine a magazine editor saying "it's a super car but the shifter vibrates a bit too much at high RPM". If you read enough reviews, you'll surely find someone with an opinion that makes little sense or is overly picky.

But back to the topic - in case anyone has missed the threads, the 370z TV review airs on UK Top Gear this Sunday (27th July). It's up against the new Z4 - and I am distinctly nervous, for more than one reason. Having said that, it's the right car to pitch against the 370z, despite the price difference. Shame they didn't throw a Gayman into the equation too.

Hmmmm, it will be interesting to see what they say about the 370 compared to the Z4. Most reviewers tend to give rimjobs to BMWs, but hopefully TopGear will stay as their unbiased self when it comes to brands.
A decked out Z4 lists for $65,000. TopGear will pick the 370Z for sure based on that price. The review will be something like "The Z4 has top quality fit and finish but the Nissan isn't far behind. Given nearly identical performance numbers, the 370Z is more fun, looks better, and is a far better deal for a sportscar." Or...we'll have to listen to Jeremy go off on one of his "look at these headlights and this front grille....they're hideous!" Last edited by spearfish25; 07-24-2009 at 06:57 PM. |

Personally I prefer watching the Top Gear spin-off: Fifth Gear. It's much more serious and informative. The cars are tested by proper racing drivers who know what they're talking about [unlike any of the Top Gear presenters who haven't got a clue and are just good at pretending they do]. |

I always found it funny
clarkson hates the sound of the 350 and 370 saying it sounds horrible and it hurts his ears but on any form of top gear review on the magazine or website they call it the best V6 sound there is |

I read SO many reviews of this car in the past few years, but I never saw this one. It's a good read. Comparing the car to its predecessor, the main conclusions from these reviews were that the interior was vastly improved while the ride & dynamics were more refined. Better power from the larger V6 and sexy design and styling finished it off.
I wonder what the next Z will be like . ? . ? . . It's not too far off now. |
