Guys watch this! (LEAF beats 370z)
 

hey guys! :tiphat:
I was just watching at 2012 Nissan Leaf Destroys 2011 370Z - YouTube and wonder if this is possible......if this is true, then oh well.... let me hear your opinions guys! :bowrofl:

It was probably a manual 370z :ughdance:

but...but...loosing to leaf...isn't right........wtf....

I call bull ****... Iv seen people blow launches and take off faster than that

Something is wrong! WTF not going to race Nissan leaf lol

Agreed. And look how fast the Leaf accelerations further into the run compared to the Z after the traction issue is not a factor, looks like a case of sand bagging.

LOL this is Nissan's new marketing to sell massive leafs! so dumb kids can watch this and buy a leaf, ask every Z owners to race them :)

The leaf does 0-60 in ten seconds and runs the quarter mile in 17.5 seconds. Either this is a joke or that was a total idiot driving the z.....if I lived in that region I wouldn't go to that dealership after seeing this trash.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL haha totally agreed!

I think a total idiot could drive better than that..

Looks sandbagged to me. Also sounds like he is short shifting. Again I call shenanigans on this one.

Leaf does not have gear to change because it's electric, so, to make it fair, the Z cannot change gear in this drag race. Either it has to stay at 1st, or start at 6th.

hahahaaa

If Leaf can wins the 370z,then the Honda CR-Z can take on the GTR.!

comment of the day! :bowrofl:

Meh.... propaganda to make tree huggers to feel good about their purchase.

I understand the instant torque of the electric motor and the light weight of the leaf would give it the advantage for like .1 seconds but I have to raise the :bs: on this on. It was set up by a dealer trying to market a car to a crowd that was gonna buy the Z.

Conditions were cold, track was slippery. This was purely a case of Summer tire fail in Winter temperatures. If you listen closely you can see he was really struggling for grip. So yes, over 1/8th mile the leaf had him.

C'mon guys really? Really? They'll do anything to move those leafs off the lot, even if that means making a "fixed" video of a leaf beating the Z.

In other words it's fake. If someone truly thinks the Leaf can beat the Z even based on those poor conditions then by all means PLEASE buy the leaf instead.

I think we've all been leaf-rolled....it's like being rick-rolled but with cars.

Wow, some of you I think are taking this a bit seriously, it was a joke race to just stir the pot.

Don't know if somebody has messed with the Leaf, but there's been some crazy project cars. Nissan Europe dropped a twin turbo drivetrain of a GT-R in the body of a Juke.
Called the Juke-R. This mutant has the GT-R's engine, tranny, brakes, and suspension in the Jukes reduced wheelbase.

seriously its a joke. you can tell the Z short shifted and slow rolled first and slows down mid race... just stirring the pot to move the leaf... this is a true "c'mon man" moment.

there was a handicap, the Z launched in 3rd gear or should I say rolled out in 3rd gear :tup:

Yea there was a thread here a few weeks ago about a leaf nissan was putting a GTR engine into. I would imagine this is probably the result.

:iagree:

My friend at work has a CR-Z, I'll set it up lol! I might have to get some drag radials to keep up!

BWAHAHAHA!! Great job of stirring up the people OP because there is no way a vehicle that reaches 0-60 in 7.9 secs is going to take a Z! :bowrofl::bowrofl:

Oh yeah, and I'd love to see the travesty dealt on a CR-Z by your GTR Billy! :tup:

idk..... the Z in the video did not look like it was going full speed, it looked more so like the driver was holding it back to let the leaf win or something.

just my 2 cents

yeah, it looked like there was a ton of wheel-hop going on

Haha marketing towards the ignorant

You live in Florida so you don't experience the cold very often, but at 25F on stock tires I would like to see you beat 8 seconds 0-60. Unless the tires have been warmed up you aren't going anywhere quick. Yes, on a real drag strip this would never happen, but consider this a real world reality check the next time you pull up to a Leaf at a red light on a very cold morning :)

Everyone knows the 7AT is 5 seconds quicker on the 1/4 mile. Nissan just doesn't market that because the 6MT folks would cry. :D

Seriously though, seems like a VDC issue to me... :stirthepot:

And that's why a lot of states allow you to carry concealed. Heck, if I lost to a Leaf with my Z I would take my own life. :icon14:

370z Nismo- 0-60 in 4.5sec, 1/4 at 13sec
370z 7sp- 0-60 in 4.5sec, 1/4 at 12.9sec
(according to 0-60 times website)
I don't like my 7sp because of no fun driving but kind of like it because it's fast! :bowrofl:

funny joke :tup:

Proof that electric sports cars are the future?

wow, that leaf is so fast! good job kid, you get a STAR! :icon17:


might help to turn off VDC on cold day launches running summer tires... but then this was all a joke so who cares. :D

Leaf vs. Prius--who is king of the 0-6???? That's what I want to see. :driving:

Let's see the Tesla and a bolt on modded Z go at it. That would be a fair fight!

Shoot, maybe unmodded.

I think its real you guys!!!!!!! I just don't think anyone told the guy in the Z that he was supposed to race!!!! you try launching and sipping a Grande Peppermint Mocha Soy!!!!!

Trollololololol
