so comparing one guy going around a track @ castle combe with a standard Z vs several stripped out track prepped S30 is neither fair nor making sense, at all.
Admitted that the one poor guy in his 280bhp 350Z might not have been the best representative of the species (I hope he's not reading this but if he does don't take it badly
.
I repeat that there were no stripped out track prepped S30s present - merely modified road going Zs ! I'm not playing word games, honestly, the S30s you saw are primarily road cars, used whenever possible as much as possible on the roads !
Stripped out ? Have you seen the inside of Skiddells' car - more leather than a Z33 !
So, for fun, we're comparing a standard Z33 (that happens to have a six speed box, ABS, super big Brembo ventilated discs all round, ESP, power steering and a superb engine producing 280bhp with computers checking everything to ensure that it all continues to work perfectly in harmony..................to admittedly a modified (give us a chance) S30 over 30 years older (old chassis, old design, old-ish technology) that might, and not all had, front ventilated discs smaller than that of the Z33, no ESP, no ABS, no power steering (
, and basically a four speed box with a rev. reducing overdrive and another great engine, probably (on average that day) producing no more than 220 bhp !
And you cry that isn't a fair comparison ? Go and get some Z33 mates along and let's have a real debate because you're outnumbered here, it aint fair and aint representative
