    Everyone is so mad at the 400z for some reason . It’s almost like they forget the 350z and 370z weren’t that fast either. Yet both of those cars are considered classics . A 20 year old 350z still collects a premium on the used market.

      350 was pretty quick for its time I believe. 370 was decent. I don’t expect the 400 to be super quick or anything but it could be a LITTLE faster lol especially if it’s trying to compete with the Supra. But, what I will say is it just might be a tire issue mostly. Everyone complains about how trash they are. Hopefully Nissan starts building them with better tires

      The Z actually has a better power to weight ratio when you measure dyno results in similar conditions and the same dynos. But power to weight isn’t the only thing that matters. It makes sense to compare them, but would it make sense if one car has a 3 speed auto to a 10 speed auto with close ratios and instant shifts? That’s the perspective you should have, that there are many other variables to be considered

  • @MarMPB
    @MarMPB 2 года назад +6

    Nice win on the rolling race for the Z! I didn’t expect that. The launch control and the traction of the Boxster S are known to be amazing, so against the Z with less than ideal tires the result was a not a surprise. Maybe with a top shelf set of tires the Nissan would put up a fight. But from dig, I suspect the Porsche would win again, but not by so much gap.

    • @Kr0nicridah
      @Kr0nicridah 9 месяцев назад +1

      The Z won in the second roll race because they started in 3rd gear. The 718’s gearing is very long, and at 80 it would’ve been faster to start in 2nd.

      Facts porsche (like all german cars) underrate their power figures on paper to make their cars appear so much better than other cars that make the actual claim power figures or in some cases make less because of types of gas put in them. Especially nissans make less power than advertised without premium fuel.
      Porsche make 50hp more than claim in almost all models. Watch Carwow latest review of german top sedans where bmw,benz,porsche, audi competed the only car made its claim figures was the audi, with porsche panamera turbo s hybrid advertised as 700hp making 750hp 50hp more. There is also a dyno where the latest 911 gt2 rs rated at 700hp on paper in actual dyno test made 770hp crank that is 70hp more than porsche claims. Also those nurburgring times set were on race tyres not production tyres. Porsche been lying an cheating for years. Everyone knows there a protected brand. A german strategy underrate their power figures to appear more capable than the others. There should be a rule in the automotive world where if a manufacturer makes a certain it has to be proven on a dyno by actual claims. So that those manufacturers with great product wont get overshadowed by these manufacturers lying (cheating strategy) to fool an convince many their products are better.
      If you know about cars then you should understand the message.
