Maccaman Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 How could Ben Collins forget to switch the ESP off for the drifting challenge Surely they could have used a coupe to give the 370 a better chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LRF4N Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 I think they used Ben Collins as the stig cos he lacks personality so shoved a helmet on his head and didn't let him speak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

350ash Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 It's also the auto version, seems they were trying to fix it: soft-top + auto 'box + worst driver, it didn't stand a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Just watching it on chase play. TBH, its the typical 5th Gear fair test - £36k 370z (7AT) vs £48 TTRS (6MT) vs £43k Boxster S (PDK). So far the from what I've seen, there was a handling test, where funnily enough the 4WD Audi won (by not a lot). Then drifiting, where Ben left the TCS on for his first run, then lost out out Jason by 0.5pt in his second run - where his drift looked better than the Porsche. Havent seen the final test, but if its anything like the other 2, there wont be much in it. So given the Zed is ~£10k cheaper than the competition, I think it did well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris`I Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 Just watched the end. Flying lap of Rockingham. Porsche and Audi were 2 sec a lap quicker, but Ben said the 370z was more fun. TBH, it was a fair review in what they said, but they were pitching 2 obviously better cars against the Zed. Would like to have seen a Boxster (not S) and a TTS against it and see how well it did then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djrm Posted December 10, 2010 Author Share Posted December 10, 2010 Yep totally unfair! And agreed, Ben Collins is useless... No personality! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Nissan themselves put the 370Z in the firing line when they started advertising it in comparison to the Porker and the Audi, so they can hardly have any reason to complain when TV shows put the cars up against each other. People in the know are aware that it's a bit of a mismatch, but the vast majority aren't. That worked both for and against Nissan here.

Chris`I Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 TBH I think the Zed came off very well. It will have a lot of people thinking is it worth an exta £10k for an Audi or Porsche. I'd still have a Cayman S over a 370z if given the choice of either for free, but no way I'd pay the premium for it having driven both.

Rob_Quads Posted December 11, 2010 Share Posted December 11, 2010 Thought it did quite well considering the competition. Where were they using the convertibles tho vs the hard top TTrs - Bit silly I thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
