[Chris62]

Not sure if this has been posted before,

All down to the driver of course

The advantage of fwd, you don't have to have balls The size of melons to sling it into a corner and bury the throttle.

I don't know how much there would be between them in the twists with equal drivers? Anyone driven both?

 

[alexessex_7]

ha ha.... brilliant! I nearly got a 350z but couldnt afford the insurance...went for a 182 instead. made the right choice i reckon!

 

[andywiddss1]

ha ha yer baby luv it

The insurance on a 350z was more for me than an Aston V8 vantage! Really can't work that one out....

Driver of the Z has his hands far too high for my liking .. that will be throwing his balance off making it feel much more unsteady than it probably is.

 

[Cookson]

clio driver is clearly a hero

 

[.Stevo.C.]

^^ Yup he's chucking it into corners like it's a race car.

 

[jack_kemp]

The Clio looks very low and very flat.... I would say it's probably on coilovers.

 

[.Stevo.C.]

Yeh looks like it eh seems to handle not to bad lol

Far too much travel in the suspension to be on stiff coilovers. Looks relatively standard to me.

Edit: Possibly on springs

 

[Emma.]

I want to drive that road!!!

Agree'd.

Clio driver makes me want an 1*2 though.

LOL @ some of the comments in here.

The driver of that Z isn't the best. Not saying I'm Senna or anything, but he's all over the place. Literally.

The advantage of a FWD chassis is it's so much more lenient for the beginner. You can chuck it everywhere in the dry and you'll rarely come unstuck; on the road at least.

A well-driven Z is not to be stiffed at. They super heavy to drive though, at least I thought they we're.

 

[Joe R26]

haha awesome video.

 

[Silent_Scone]

that bloke cannot drive for toffee

Clio would be quicker through there anyway though, just not that much quicker. lol

it's worked out on statistics and ownership numbers. Quite obviously there are a lot more plebs stacking 350zs in a similar age bracket to yourself then there are V8 Vantages

I'm going to agree with you on that one. An impreza for me is £3000+ in insurance, a 350Z £800 and a Lamborghini Gallardo? Just under £1700

Cool vid

Lol at the way you take this thread far too seriously :S

 

[Christopher]

Sorry. Maybe I should've gone with...

"OMGZ teh Clio iz teh bestestssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!11! 350Z's are f*ckin sh*t"

Seriously.

Fair enough, but the car is 3x the value.... You'd think it would balance out.

Maybe or u could have just seen it as the light hearted watch the guy intended it to be??

 

[Christopher]

I can't be bothered TBH mate. Think what you want.

 

[jamesp24]

Driver on the 350z sucks,I can stay with my mate in his 182 on a local twisty road.

 

[Gally]

Is there anything that can beat an R.S Clio in teh twisties?

They should just stop manufacturing hot hatches... Nuffin' will eva compare!

 

[SkidMarx]

Clio driver has just got bigger bawlz, simple as.

As already mentioned, FWD and RWD completely diff to drive fast.

 

[colossuss]

350z driver isn't the best

But thats not the point in my opinion. The Clio was in front, and stayed in front because of the road. When the 350z was close and pulling more than the Clio at the beginning, he had no space to overtake. If he had of got past then, he would have been able to keep the Clio behind him

[Bodge!]

Cliosport = Srs Bsns

Id rather have a Z over a Cliosport

 

[jocker]

Having had a 350z and a 182 I can honestly say that a 182 with an equally skilled driver would lag well behind the 350Z. The 350z is an awesome car with virtually no body roll, sticks to the road like billy-o, and obviously has bags more oomph. Both great cars but the 350z is in another league, and another price tag....

 

[Brett]

On a tight road like that FWD will benefit the Clio. RWD is better for more sweeping bends.

As much as people hype up RWD from my experience I prefare FWD overall.

 

[The Boosh!]

Nice video.

The Nissan clearly had the legs on the clio outside of the twisty stuff. I would put money on the clio being quicker around a track than the 350z though (a track without a massive straight anyway!)

 

[Munson]

Nuffink is moar rapid than a Clio in da twsisties man.

 

[r900smp]

Lolz

 

[Brian172]

Nice video.

 

[B16DOE]

It's why I own one lol

 

[Craigus]

Cool vid.

But the Z driver isn't pushing that hard.

 

[Martin_172]

imagine it had been a ph1!! bye bye 350z
