however, some of the race groups they have dont make sense.

It's TV.

Either way, I don't see anything wrong with the two videos referenced. The 370Z did well. There was no hate, IMO.

this is very true..

maybe we are ready to see a vid where we aren't the "target car" or something of that nature. ready to be the hunter not the hunted in other words

They should do a video of the Z chasing down a Miata, BRZ, and FRS.

See the videos vs the cayman (or the pre-2011 mustang). The z has just been around a while, it makes a pretty decent reference point.

458 catches fire, ZR1 spins off the road (driven by Clarkson), arial atom driver crashes because his passenger's Big Mac got stuck in his eyes, 5.0 wins.

The Nismo does lose every race they put it in.

Hmm, the sport wheels are bigger than the non-sport wheels...

It would be amusing to see BM do a spec-370Z race - all the people who take these videos too seriously would have their heads explode as they achieve the most perfect orgasm because the 370Z would be winning and losing simultaneously.

I really didn't take the vids too seriously but did think the car was totally mismatched . The races would have been better had the Z's been tuned like most of the other cars but oh well . I would love to see some newer vids with say a gtm Z or stillen racing newer cars

edub370 · 01-19-2012, 02:16 PM

like the vid of the amuse 370z against a 458 italia, zr1, and 360 modena... i mean common....

The Best Motoring races are more for fun watching, who know how hard they were really doing during the 'race'.

No matter it's NISMO or Base, it can't be tracked hardcore cos the brake will fade after 3 laps.

Maybe that's why the Z was last place.
