So... some good news at my household... My dad has finally decided to scrap his dream of owning an Eclipse and wants, instead, a 350z (perhaps not the best incarnation, but definitely a step in the right direction IMHO).

So now that I'm so eagerly embracing his new-found Z-love I've been pulling up lots of reviews and videos of them on youtube so that he can see the Z33 in action before he drives one.

I've found a small number of clips from the British show "Top Gear," (and they really seem to hate this car) one such clip is called "New Z vs. Old Z" ... in which different generations are pitted against one another... with interesting results. I thought this would be fun to share.

That guy is an arse and does'nt like ANYTHING American. The best short video he could make would be him being ran over by a Z, of any model.

Well... the Z isn't American (technically) ... and on that point, he gave the RX-8 very high praise and also seemed fairly smitten with the Chrysler Crossfire convertible.

Wasn't that a ZED X from the 90's (not 80's) that won? Crikey!! (I thought that was an Australian saying)

either way, he's still an arse.

or maybe I am. The 350Z was designed by americams and that's what he does'nt like.

That video was setup. Did you notice that all the cars didn't leave at the same time? And That guy is an arse! I quit watching that show just because of that guy.

If he would have actually driven the car and not made out with his cameraman so much the outcome would have been different. Such a shame to have such a great collection of Z's there and not have some real competition/tests.

The media really needs to change as the people of the world are growing sick of their slanted style. Doesn't matter which party etc you are in they want to play on your emotions or ignorance for their personal gain. A few times I've been a part of the news and found that they painted a very different picture of what was really going on. (No, I didn't commit any crimes:) )

either way, he's still an arse.

Maybe you are. The 350Z was designed by an Englishman.

Whatever. That does not give host immunity from 'being an arse'.

Wow you folks are real rough on that guy. Let me tell yiy something. I had a 350 Anniversary edition and sold it about a year ago. My series one 240z would have beaten that car any day of the week.

huh? Really? A stock 240 beating the new 350?

He lives outside of his mind.
