Maybe you've seen this before, but I hadn't, a very interesting 15 minute read :)

Loads of stats too, including 0-60 and 1/4mile times ;)

There are loads of articles like that, all a pleaure to read.

 

I like the way the writers are able to say such things about a Japanese car, as other ariticles I have read, even though the 300ZX was better they didnt like to admit it.

 

One article did a track test with the 300ZX and Corvette, and even though the 300ZX was faster round corners the Corvette did it with more style.

 

Stuart

very interesting but a little confusing ?

 

I mean take a look at this ?

Now if the 300zx does 0.1 faster than the FX3 from 0-60

and 0.6 seconds faster to 100

 

How can the FX3 have a quicker 1/4 mile time ? If by the end of the 1/4 mile they were both only doing 96 mph ?

 

Also if it takes the 300zx 14.6 seconds to do 0 - 96 mph

why does it take it another 1.7 seconds to do another 4 mph ???

Perhaps their test driver wasn't up to the job, but your right Stu the Maths just dont add up!!:confused:

Hmmm yeah I thought that :confused:

 

But check out those the 30-50 and 50-70 times in top gear :cool:

Surely it doesn't take that long for those speed changes ?:confused:
