It is also apparent how closely matched the standard versions of the two cars really are, so there will be plenty of scope for driver error to make a significant difference. I suggest all interested parties get down to the first round of the Z Club Drag Race Challenge at Santa Pod in 2004 so that we can test the differences for ourselves.......and the differences in reaction times of the drivers involved.

Mind you, the 350Z driver on Top Gear got the better start and was leading over the first 50 yards.Perhaps he fluffed a gearchange after that.Once the 300ZX was into 3rd gear it started to pull away.

The stig was driving the 300 and as said before he got a terrible start, the good old umpfh of a twin turbo just wont be beaten by a 350.

All you 350z owners, you just have to accept that you got beat by a 12/13 year old car.
