KrazzyKevin Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I don't know how many of you have ever heard of the TV show Top Gear, it's on the BBC channel, but anyway, here's a clip featuring a drag race between every generation on Z car from the 240 up to the 350. The results surprised me. Sort of. Quote Link to comment
metalmonkey47 Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I love that video And Top Gear. They did an episode with a Z32 racing and it kicked ass. Heres another one. You can skip to the end. ">" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="425" height="350"> Quote Link to comment
HRH Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I'm not sure that's right. The twin turbo 90+ Z car should have had a crapload more power and about the same weight as a mid-80's Z car. Maybe the suspension was soft, allowing for a better drag launch with the older Z? I suspect this is not a very scientific 0-60 test with the same tires, etc., but more of a who had the best car and best tires on that particular day. Quote Link to comment

If you've ever watched top gear, it's not the most scientific car show. So, I bet you're right about it not being the most even test. But, it's still interesting. And entertaining.

Jester Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 No kidding. Watch the start on the first video again. There were some drivers that had just woke up from their naps when the first two or three took off. Quote Link to comment
datzenmike Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Wow how un scientific. Maybe the 260 owner has a swapped a VG30DETT JDM motor in it? :lol: Quote Link to comment
