370z is SUBZERO in Top Gear
 
Anyone watched Top Gear? Richard rated the 370z SubZero after Jeremy rated it Seriously Uncool.

I don't own one (and maybe it doesn't matter to you guys) but I think the 370Z is an awesome car!

PS. I'm new here, so... Hi!

the audience loved the Z and boo'ed his *** when he put it on the not cool part.

BanningZ 08-03-2009 04:20 AM

Agreed,Mr Clarkson,always looked down on cars that is cheap,i remember a few years back,he bought a brand new Malaysian car,comment about the car like ****,wreaked it with a hammer,use firework to split the car into half,& of course the Malaysia's Gov't wasn't very happy about it

Greg 08-03-2009 08:09 AM

It's all part of the act... LOL That show or most car shows are so scripted that it's kinda chessy sometimes.

355890 08-03-2009 08:40 AM

Question:

YES or NO does the engine of the new Z at high revs sound COOL or UNCOOL?



Clarkson knows exactly what he is taking about, you orangatang's out there that think he is an a** ...... apparently have no idea the vault of experience and exposure that this man gets and has had regarding the ability to rate production motorsport vehicles .... there is no one even close to compare with.

Greg 08-03-2009 08:54 AM

Question:

YES or No Has JC ever raced professionally?


LOL All you donkey's who love JC..:rolleyes:

Tiff Needell makes Clarkson look like a car dealership's lot boy..:icon17:

Push370zzz 08-03-2009 09:44 AM

Clarkson had a problem with the 350z too, it just means he doesn't have a taste for these kinds of cool fast budget Nissans...don't let it get to you haha

JC (Jeremy Clarkson not Jesus Christ) holds the one mile land speed record at Bonneville.

I respect his opinion on any car, but 50 something, balding paunchy white Biritish men generally aren't up on what's cool and what's not.

sarcastic "whoooo" right at ya.

Just because someone holds a record, doesn't mean they know sh*t.

shumby 08-03-2009 01:42 PM

soon to be kitten tmie

shumby 08-03-2009 01:43 PM

oh ya and JC is a dink. his show is for ratings and that is that. I have no doubt he might have some really good views on cars when he comes out of scripted mode.

RCZ 08-03-2009 03:22 PM

no doubt do I enjoy watching the show, but sometimes I don't agree with the things he says. He has gotten progressively more biased over the years. If I want to be entertained, I'll watch topgear, if I want a real review, I'll watch 5th Gear with Tiff.

ssqpolo 08-03-2009 05:19 PM

if the same exact 370z was made in england...it would be rated seriously cool. i love topgear, but i definitely know of the bias

i think you hit the nail on the head right with that.

355890 08-03-2009 07:19 PM

I am English so I guess maybe it is me who is biased.

Still looking for an answer to my original question:

Is the 370Z motor at high revs Cool or Uncool?

:)

i will answer you honestly, it doesnt affect me as cool or uncool.

I really dont know if to feel positive or negative. Since i dont think its disrupting its handling and it kind of lets me know when to shift i am so far okay with it.

I do know friend behind me thought the sound of my car as i shifted through gears to get away from her tail gating the coolest thing she ever heard.

MightyBobo 08-03-2009 08:29 PM

Top Gear is great entertainment. But entertainment is ALL it is. Its full of bias. If its made in England, that's +50 bonus points right there. American? Immediate failure, no matter how good it is. Japanese is in the middle of the road. If its made by the krauts, well....

They must cry rivers every time their Aston's get thumped on by a lesser-powered, lighter Porsche.

I think what they are talking about, is valve train thrashing noise. The exhaust noise is one of the most wonderful things you can get that doesn't end in "orshe" and "errari" (or cost as much for that matter).

Hammond loves it.
Top Gear Australia love it.
Fifth gear love it.
Clarckson couldn hardly say a bad thing about it around the track, but his pride made sure he rated the Z4 above it.

The Cool wall is no big deal, it's just one mans opinion

Clarkston actually said he'd be happy with either at the end of the previous show. He's just trying to get bitchy email to make fun of! :mad:

Whow ! What a selection. The Cosworth was a beast. The Alpha was a fantastic vehicle as well. Lamborghini and Ferrari, well, enough said.
