Why does best motoring hate the Z
 
I just discovered Best motoring on Youtube abd every one of the that has some form of 370 in the race it comes in dead last What the Hell?

pardon?

edub370 01-18-2012 09:47 PM

completely agree

youtube it. they do kinda put it up agaisnt ridiculous competetion sometimes...


Best Motoring - [3/09] 370Z vs Cayman S vs 997 C2 vs 135i vs S2000 - YouTube

Best Motoring - Nismo 370Z vs TT RS vs Evo Ralliart vs Sti Spec C - YouTube


second one is a great example. the Z is set as a "traget car" for the others to run down... ironically enough its the ONLY na car on the track....

370z's are more of a GT type of car. (grand touring) Best Motoring definitely favors more "tuner" type cars like the Evo and STI. They are boyracers at heart. I don't class the Z as the boyracer type.

so do we take this target they have on our back as flattery or as they are putting us in our place?

honestly, pretty favorable (fair at worst) presentation for the most part in their videos.

Good question. I've owned an evo 8 and evo X and can say that both are probably better track or time attack cars that the Z. What car would I rather drive everyday? The Z of course.

I think some see the combination of style/speed a benchmark they must eclipse. Unfortunately, the Z car is often times the target.

Like Jeff Gordon said one time, if your still getting cheers or boo's your ok, it's when no one is talking about you that you don't mean nothing. Something along that line.

I don't really see anything that would make me think they "hate" the 370Z? Are you just upset because it's not placing first in their little "races" or something?

I thought they went out of business. Reason is clear. They entertain spec ricors. :stirthepot:

Agreed. The OP said it comes in last in every race they test it. Seems to have done just fine in the first vid posted above.

:iagree: I remember us talking about these videos years ago and we weren't upset about them at all. :icon17:

i think probably people get bummed to see that the car has been put up against a 911 gt3, ralliart tuned evo, nismo380rs superlaggera, subaru sti spec c's and things of that sort. they rarely get pinned against completely stock cars or rarely are in races when they aren't the least powerful car out there. don't get me wrong there are some, such as the race where it was against a 911, 135i, and s2000 in which it didnt finish first but i thought was an extremely fair race.

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