370Z on Top Gear

I was surprised they didnt have anything on the previous series, considering they had the evo 10 and new STI. Anyone heard anything about the 370 on Top Gear perhaps

I assumed they did it a favor by not having it on due to it needs a oil cooler.

I can already see jeremy ripping it apart saying fastest car that cant take 1 lap on the track. Then saying something like how much quid the car costs and how much quid the oil cooler costs etc etc

Cant rip it that bad though. Puts up better numbers than the Mustang GT with a V-8. Although they must have skimped on engine internals on the Ford so they would have enough money left over to pay for all that red tape they are going through.

Jeremy did not like 350Z especially much - I presume he won't like the 370Z either - I would be extremely surprised if he loves it, very, very surprised.

does jeremy have any thing to do with the topgear magazine?

I suspect they rip the z a new ahole due to no oil cooler. I dont think i ever seen the show pull any punches on a car review yet.

I'm pretty sure Jeremy does not do any magazine reviews, but he writes his one page article in the mag.

I am hoping they don't do it. They will just make me feel bad for buying it. I can see Jeremy now overheating the oil on the track then rightfully making fun of it for not going over 2500 rpm.

I think he'd enjoy a bit of limp mode - and I think he'd try very hard to achieve it, then pretend it just happened, suddenly, without warning - unless of course they give him one with an oil cooler fitted.

I don't think Nissan are stupid enough to give Top Gear a 370z without an oil cooler, are they?
