^ IMO i think it is the sports package. Who knows though maybe the wheels are an option or maybe you can get the SP without the wing

thanks alot for the video.
but the best lap time for the Z was faster than cayman S

sensi09

It probably would have been more tightly bunched if the S2K wasn't there.

Also, I wish they showed a vantage point from the 911 during the straights to see how much it gained on the Z. From the lap times, it looks as if the 911 could have easily overtaken the Z. But as mentioned, these videos are simply for entertainment.

Oh and I was somewhat surprised to see that the Z has a better power to weight ratio than the Cayman S.

BTW, was the 911 a plain old auto or did it have the PDK/DSG system?

Supergoji

it had pdk, the S2000 always loses in these matches.

and if the straight was a little bit longer the 911 would have come out in front.

Namir

It is definitely has the sports package because you can tell he is using the Synchro Rev Match (example at 3:26)

Doesn't the JDM Z have a different color scheme as for as the tailights are concerned?

NO, their (JDM) taillights are just like the us version. The picture you have attached is an "optional" taillight that you can buy or add on from the dealer in Japan.

Some of our sponsors are going to bring those tails here in the US. Feel free to contact them if you need a pair.

Wow cool vid.

For the acceleration tests, the 135i takes it from a stop, but the 135i along with all the other cars could have produced better times. It's interesting to see that the 135i produced it's best time against the cayman S, when the driver appears to have mis-shifted.

From a roll, the cayman S, 135i and 370Z look to be pretty evenly matched.

The S2K takes the braking challenge, with 135i understeering uncontrollably into a cone. For this segment, along with all the rest, I wish we could have a translation of the driver's impressions.

The Amuse Superleggera is just badass and laps puts up a best lap of 1:03.3. Meanwhile the 911 produced a best lap of 1:05.5 and the 370Z, a 1:06.7. For the closeup of the superleggera wheels, they are described as BBS LM-Rs, while we are clearly looking at Volks. Makes you wonder what other errors were made.

Oh and the GT-R Spec V was about 2 seconds faster than a regular GT-R for a ~2minute lap.
