Sorry about your Top Gear, Aussies - that show is an embarrassment of the Top Gear name.

Still, they're right about the car, and it's nice to see how fast it is relative to the other cars...

I read the title and thought "WHAT! I MISSED TOP GEAR!?"
But then I realized this is TG Australia. Big difference.

I have driven the 370z and the point is that whether it is Top Gear Australia, America or England, it does not matter, what matters is that they got their assessment right. I'll argue with them about the sound though, i think the 370 sounds tough.

i dunno man. i agree with you of course and i would have watched the top gear usa one just as much as the UK one.

But the australian hosts bugged me when i watched the you tube clip. They seemed very fake and i dunno just more fake.

I think it's funny how the little bearded guy acts just like Richard Hammond.

Does this mean the UK Top Gear guys won't test the 370?

To semi-answer address this question (No direct 370 experience) - my ex-350ZR '08 HR with Stillen CBE, BERK HFC and Stillen exhaust manifold + KN filters had great burble as described in instances above. None before the mods - FYI. I think the 370 with similar mods should do it. Someone will have to find out!
