The 350z was alwaysy dream car, finally bought it 4 months ago. Would never trade it for anything. What a machine.

That 350z didn’t stand a chance being weighed down by all that water in the indicator lense 😂

1:10 - blinker fluid looks a little low.

After all these years, I still have my 2005 Anniversary Edition Ultra Yellow 350z in my collection.

1:10 good maintenance, proper blinker fluid level

Glad to see Fifth Gear driving internal combustion cars again

Why is progress always measured by track times? The Supra is typical of modern cars. Sanitised, disconnected, sounds crap, too much fakery (fake engine sounds - who bloody started this?!), style over substance and a less refined engine (4cyl turbo). For me, I don't care how much quicker it is. Vicki looks bored in the Supra. It's all about how the car makes you feel. Ask yourself this - what's the favourite car you've owned and why? Signed - a grumpy old man. p.s. Thank you for the video. I did enjoy it ☺

Anyone notice the water in the side indicator on the Z😂

Glad you guys are still pumping out automotive gems 👍

Glad to see Vicki and Fifth Gear again, share more videos :)

This is a perfect series! Please don’t change it, just keep them coming! Thank you 🙏 🤩

Fantastic shootout, would be interesting to see a 350Z v. GR86…

I’m so pleased with this review as a massive fan of the Z33, however I can’t help but think what the result would have been had Fifth Gear used a Track spec (in the UK “GT Spec”) model equipped with the RAYS alloys and the Brembo brake setup. It probably would have been down by around only 2 seconds.

Always preffer feel over speed. Even if its a bit slower Z is much better for actual driving experience. Its sad that automakers are killing any proper sensations from driving across the board

Have owned a 350z in 2003 then had my second in 2019, fabulous cars great review

I mean, Vicky is a heck of a presenter, and is what saves Fifth Gear after they stopped with Plato and Tiff. I can listen to her talk and review all day everyday. She should just start her own KZfaq channel and go full online and go where she belongs, to tropical weather and exotic cars! I love her style of reviewing

Should’ve compared it to a HR Z tbf

Loving this series!

Great video! I love my 06 350z, and It just doesn't feel like a 17 year old car! I've also got a 91 Miata, and the 350z feels pretty luxurious in comparison! Especially with the Bluetooth I've installed and the sound system is pretty good. Had mine for almost 4 years now and absolutely love it! Don't see myself selling anytime soon, might just even buy another!!

I bought a new 350Z in 2006. It was the year of the mid-cycle refresh so LED taillights, bi-xenon headlights were first offered that year. I special ordered mine to get it with an MT and my preferred options: Brembo brakes, staggered GT wheels, leather etc. Loved it so very much but had to sell out of necessity after 4 years for less than it is worth today. I ordered a new M4 with MT in 2017 (also a mid-cycle refresh) and still own and love it, and yet I miss my Z every day.

Welcome back Vicki 😊

1:09 holy cow actual blinker fluid!

I love this show, it's now 2022 but they can keep the vibes like in the 90's

More Vicky please! Man do I miss Tiff or what.. keep hearing his voice in my head while watching this excellent video. Remembering the 350Z was actually one of his favorite. Wish he could be at least a guest presenter on one of the future episode.

That 350z is an import from Japan, so not the GT Uk spec that was sold here. The Uk car has cruse control and other goodies, including Larger Brembo Brakes.

The water in the side repeater could keep a goldfish alive

Watched this for you vic😁

Love Vicky's reviews.

Tiff Needell created fifth gear and somebody thought it was a good idea to sack him. Tiff Needell and Jason Plato recreated something we had seen only in best motoring international. Close racing head to head against the latest models. Any youtuber can film a trackday these days. In my opinion it was a relatively myopic strategy to fire Tiff. Fifth gear can not win back the time they lost out to youtube when they decided to go mainstream . I have already subscribed to your channel once, only to discover for my disappointment that fifth gear had uploaded series with missing episodes.

Super content.

Always fancied a GT4 EDITION . In that amazing yellow colour 💛

350z Old friend i forgot how much i loved you haha. Epic motor!

New cars are really taking away the feeling of driving for me. For example going from a STI forester to a Golf R i was disappointed the golf is more capable slightly but the Old Scooby is a hell of a lot more fun.

There was many mentions of the 350s brakes not being strong enough, but no mention of the fact the car driven was an import on the smaller wheels and more to the point missing the Brembo brakes which is all you could buy UK cars with.

The 350z was one of my dream cars. About 8 years ago I bought an Azure Blue Rev Up version and I absolutely adored it. For me it was the perfect combination of sports car and cruiser. All my previous cars either felt like track cars or fat cruisers. That fat 3.5L engine not only sounded absolutely incredible but it had power everywhere. It was everything I could ever hope for. I wrote it off within 12 months and then bought the HR model with over 300hp and absolutely fell in love once I'd swapped the exhaust with an Ark and spaced and lowered it and had it setup for the track. Best car I've ever driven, all round comfortable powerful, you felt everything in the road. Amazing That was until someone drove into the back of me (On purpose) and the insurance cost me so much I had to sell the car. I've never recovered from that and I miss it everyday. If you ever see HJ57 WVA out there in the real world let me know. I put alot of love into that car and I was forced to sell it!

My two sons grow up with your show, old tv to led to mobile phone watching. I hope for 20 year more. Last thing,Marry Christmas and Happy New year. Jharkhand India.👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

That Zed's a Japanese import, a base model one. The official import was the GT model. Edit - The GT also came with Brembo brakes as standard.

Bring it on VBH 👍

I like the water inside the wing blinker. It makes waves!

Great series, would be great to also compare the 2002 BMW Z4 to the 2022 model.

Shoukd have got a uk z with the brembos as stock not a paird down jdm with no brembo

Can't ignore the fact, That Supra/ BMW is nearly 5 seconds faster round the track!

Go on fifth gear, bloody miss you 💙☮️💜💜

Please do the old Puma against the new Puma ST.

Wow almost 2023 , Z still being reviewed , good car for sho!

I remember when TopGear did an old vs new video with the 300ZX vs. the then new 350Z & the 300ZX won that battle, twin turbo on the 300. Maybe do a 300ZX vs. GR Supra? haha. I would like to see Mazda 323 GT-R vs. new Mazda3 AWD turbo please :)

Love the water in the side market

I have enjoyed this gear for all of these years. But it sure would be nice to see cars compared to one another in the dry every once in a while.

Now retry with the Z33 HR 313. This was with the lowest powered DE. Would love to see the numbers.

I would love to see such comparisons with "same" tires - unindepend supplier - they also made a huge step within the last 20 years ;)

Love to see the 6.2 C63 Coupé vs the outgoing 4.0 C63 Coupé. 🤤

Got 2007 i love the inside seats are the most comfortable it hugs your body

That Z sidemarker had water sloshing around inside lol

That's 20 years of chassis progression.

Yes we know. You reviewed this car back when i was high school. I had 4 Zeds. Including 350Z and 370Z Nismo. Exposing everyones age here 😂. Sounds better than the 370 for sure

I had a 350Z Sport with the stiffer springs, Bilstein shocks and an heroic Brembo brake package. I reckon that would have made up the 4.9 seconds.

Also wish to see R34 vs modern BMW or AMG. Hopefully driven by Vicky as well 😊😊

Gosh Vicki can drive !

Great video, should of gone for the 350z Gt HR comes with better Brembo brakes

I think next you should do a bmw m235i vs the bmw 1m would be interesting to see

I agree with the person below. A shame it wasn't a 2008 vq35hr, 310hp never mind at least 5th gear remembered the Zed.. 👍 👍

The Z is low on blinker fluid. A touring pack with 18" wheels and Brembo brakes would have been a better comparison.

that camera was there on the odometer long enough for them to have seen 80085

Are they on the same tyres?

Cant find a stock Supra Turbo in the UK ???

I hired a 350z for my wife , lovely car. Wish I had bought the nismo one before the end 😪

I always get a kick about how one can watch 2 great shows(5th Gear and Clarkson/Hammond/May era Top Gear) and come to a review like this with the Z and the outcome/reviews are polar opposites.

The 350z Nismo was the peak for these cars. Had the HR motor, stiffer chassis and suspension. Even the 370z was a step backwards. Just not the same.

glad to see vicky

Epic

Comparing a base model Z to a supra. Nice. At least get a ST 350z with brembos. Or a rev-up/HR model with the standard brakes.

They’re both nice cars. 🚘

Probably an older video, because the supra is NOW offered with a 6 speed, tho not sure if available in EU

At least get a UK GT edition that’s in a good nick. The 07 and above had over 300bhp, more torque and obviously the brembo brakes.

That 350Z doesn't have the Brembos, which partly explains the poor braking performance. The non-Brembo calipers were basically a parts bin recycle from the S13 Silvia / 180SX, a ~200kg lighter car. And even that car was considered underbraked with those brakes. It would have been interesting to see this done with a Brembo equipped car. The Supra still would have won, but it would have been closer.

love the video, but one little comment to the edittors. Please use a small colour grade. The flat footage is just horrible to look at :(

Old vs new WRX please!

Shame it wasn't a UK 350z, not sure if the import one had the brembo brakes as I remember them being excellent

that 350z looks like its been written off a few times

It would have been nice to see the Toyota go up against the new Z. And if you drive a z in the rain you best be up on your game.

please. review a supra mk4 stock version. 🙌🏼

Lol blinker fluid in the left side blinker of the Zed

How are these equivalents?

The 350z sounds better though, but you know what they say about the 350z? All shout and no clout. I'd still take the 350z over the supra.

I always wonder how much speed of the new cars come from modern rubber 🤔🤔

350Z HR my dream car💔⌚️

Nissan's are amazing!

2:07 notice water sloshing around inside side marker lens....

Love these videos with old vs new under powered models... New is often quicker, but have you considered the influence of the tires? If the old competitor has several years old tires, that might have a huge impact on a track driving to the limit...

What I can afford vs a dream (or unwanted debt).

No drag race?

Schmee150 drove the new Z car recently in the states! Be amazing if it comes here.

there is now a new nissan Z car👀

oh no!! Used a sub UK spec Jap import with tiny brakes, small 17' alloys/skinny tyres that came on the base spec imports only. UK cars came with bigger alloys 18's which have wider tyres, tuned suspension and brembo brakes all round - well done ✅

That wing on the Z seems like a Nismo item.

My 350z is definitely faster because I've raced multiple new Supras and the only ones that slightly pull away are the GR. And it's slightly. My Z runs toe to toe with Daytona chargers, camaro SS, stingers, and all the other modern sports cars that aren't ridiculously overpowered

Should have used the 350z that had 310bhp if I’m right?

It is a shame we're not getting the new Nissan Z, lucky yanks

I HAVE DRIVEN ON THAT CIRCUIT!!

1:10 Les clignotants de Clio phase 2 prennent un peu l'eau.🤣
