Yeah, why no 280ZX? I'm pretty sure that could have been right up there if it were the turbo. If you notice he said the 80's 300ZX when it was a Z32 that passed the line, a TT no doubt.

That is rediculous because when the 280ZX turbo came out it was the fastest Z car to that point so it would have beat the 240Z and 260Z.

...and the 260Z was the same speed as the 350Z? The 260Z in the US was THE slowest Z made due to engine size, carbs, emissions, ect at that time.

Also, their 260Z has 240Z tail lights. It looks to me like they have 3 240Z's but no 280Z or 280ZX.

The Z31 was left in the dust. Why put a Z31 NA up against a Z32 TT? Why not only use the turbo models or all NA models. If you used NA Z-cars then the 350Z would have won.

IMO some of these cars looked to be modded, like the 260 appeared to have different rims and a front air dam, plus it certantly didnt sound stock.

If you noticed the Z31 was also the 2+2 model.

I suspect this video may be from one of Jeremy Clarkson's non-Top Gear car review videos. Sure wish I knew which one though.
