Pagnobito Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Some footage you do not normally see of the Stig and camera in the car.. http://www.topgear.com/uk/videos/stig-l ... ory=BestOf I think I prefer the noise from the 350Z? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunmetalzgt Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 i think the 370 looks soo much more of a girly car then the 350!! sorry to those of you who are getting one but thats just my personal opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3FIDDYZ Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Thats the thing that annoys me with topgear power lap videos... They take all the footage and splice it to make a nice "pretty" video instead of a good "raw" one like that with all the engine noises... The should record all 3 laps and then show the fastest one and also stick some more cameras in like one showing the revs and speedo... Also like the way they do the ghost car on 5thGear... Wouldnt be hard to setup and manage... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Husky Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 i agree about the ghost car, they usually split screen it which looks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BulletMagnet Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Looks like The Stig kept looking down at the centre console/footwell area too....did he loose something? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been something to do with the Rev Matching confusing the gear changes perhaps!! Guessing he drives by the noise of the engine...

Knowing the Stig, he prolly turned that off straight after pushing the Start Button Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted August 20, 2009 Share Posted August 20, 2009 Great find! I've never been on that site before... will give me something to do tonight! There looked like a lot of body roll through the corners in the 370z though... ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indyzed Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I think I prefer the noise from the 350Z? There's a lot of chatter on the net and periodicals that the new Z doesn't make good engine or zorst noises at all. I find this frustrating. Great engine noise is one of the main reasons I like sports cars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hasn't made me cancel my order though - can't wait for 4th October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sim Posted October 16, 2009 Share Posted October 16, 2009 Just reading through this, I had a Ginger 04 350Z and now have a Black 370Z Ultimate, the 370Z is definately softer than the 350 but this isn't bad, it has more grip anyway (just because of the new chassis and bigger rubber?) and being softer makes most fast road driving more comfortable its not like we have very many decent (read smooth) roads in the uk!! I think Stig must have switched syncro off!! One of my mates who does hill climbs and sprints drove mine and said it was weird as the car seemed to do it just before he would naturally have done the blip, I really like it, its made my crap driving smoother, (I was a feeble 12th overall on my day at Race Academy!! I blame Lucas for making me sick as soon as I got there!!). Oh and the sound does get better the more you thrash them, I'm up to 3K and the tone has definately improved although I am thinking S tune system still!

He is a true driver and they turn off all the aids to see how quick the car really is Personally, I like the achievement of doing a proper heel/toe and taking a couple of years in the Zed to master it properly, so if (when) I get a 370z, synchro will be turned off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
