No doubt the Z handles, sounds, looks, and IS better, and costs less, BUT that still doesn't mean that I like the looks, it just looks better than the squashed bug called a TT.
Black, bumperless, 78 Z with MSA superturbo system, K/N cone filter, ported intake, and exhaust manifolds.....15.9 @87 mph.

you know what, the 350z is growing on me, that car is bad ass

A:
He gave a totally opposite review of the Z that Jeremy Clarkson did on the same tv show!!
As soon as they're 30+ years old, then I can afford one LOL!
A:
And I would be inclined to take Tiff's opinion over Jeremy's since he did, race F1 cars. I was also impressed with the way that he drove the Z. He brought out the potential in it.
God must love stupid people, he made SOOOOO many of them!
A:
Jeremy's opinion is very personally bias, very entertaining to watch tho.
and isn't Jeremy on Top Gear and Tiff on 5th Gear??

A:
Yes, they are on different shows. Tiff kicks butt and was a BMW factory driver not an F1 driver if I recall correctly.
But, he was a 'real' race car driver where Clarkson is merely a 'real' auto journalist.
Although, I do agree with Clarkson on the McLaren F1 not being all the media and hype makes it out to be. It is the fastest production car on the planet, or was it just beaten? I can't remember. I just don't like the McLaren aside from recognizing it as a tremendous automotive technological achievement.
And I would rather have a Ferrari F40 over an F50 or an Enzo...

who the hell is tiff? , clarkson seems like a pretty good driver too, i wish i could get on a track like that one and abuse my z, and then have some guy like their racer driver (stig) tell me what my car compares to.
A:
Clarkson's words: "I don't know anybody that drives like Tiff Needel."
Tiff can put any car into a four wheel drift. His driving is absolutely amazing to watch. Tiff used to race briefly in F1. However, his most famous races are at Le Mans--where he finished third place once! He is a talented racer who was plagued with unfortunate shortcomings.
Tiff reviews cars based on how well it does on a race track. Clarkson does reviews for regular road drivers.

"Clarkson does reviews for regular road drivers."
wich is 99.99% of people who buy cars :)
good vid tho, makes the 350 look like a real champ. too bad less than 1% of 350 owners will ever even see a track.
