300ZX TT faster than 350Z - again!

[Gio]

What fun that was. Under totally unscientific conditions on an airfield just north of Oxford, a slightly sick stock silver 300ZX TT (try saying that six times quickly) beat one J Clarkson (with his brand new Selfridge jeans and £400 Farhi jacket) in a stock 350Z. Twice. mwuahahaha :D :rofl:

 

Thanks for the pic, neil. For more - visit http://www.zclub.net/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=500&ppuser=1081

 

DVD out in November, apparently.....

Gio, whatever you do, don't tell 'em who's 350 it was! I'm sure that person wouldn't dare show their face round here again! :smw:

 

That person (whoever he/she was) would probably blame the inability of his size 15s to operate the pedals correctly, and the weight of all that camera equipment - etc, etc!! :tongue:

Indeed it would be! (not that I was there, of course ;) )

I think it only goes to show JC can't drive and talk at the same time :rofl:

Its obvious from that picture the 350z was at a dis-advantage -- it was at least 1 foot behind the white line... :)

I take it the filming was for top gear then. If so, when is it going to be broadcast?

[Gio]

Sadly not Top Gear - although they have already shown a white Z32 beating a 350Z (over, IIRC, 1/5th mile).

 

This was for a Clarkson DVD which will be out in November.

fairplay to you mate hats off :bow:

[Guest Scottywil]

So you won overall Gio? Was the red 300 a TT too?

How did the others finish?

[Gio]

The red Zed was a SWB N/A. I have no idea of the finishing order as I was hanging on for grim death with heart pounding and the cones marking the end of the strip (and the beginning of the active runway with planes taking off coming towards us :eek: ) getting closer at what seemed like the speed of light (but was only about 92mph according to Mr Nissan).

 

IIRC, the 350Z came second both runs and Tony's 260Z third.
