There are quite a few Americans that like the winding road, circuit racing, and auto cross.

Unfortunately, with NASCAR their biggest motorsport series (like our V8 Supercars) so people assume that's their thing.

Just like I don't give a flying f**k about two mechanically identical cars with fake taxi bodies, a lot of Americans don't give a stuff about NASCAR.

Anyway, here's Clarkson's review of the current Z06. And here's Tiff's.

Both are guys that don't have much time for American motorvated sofas, and they both love the circuit behavior of the Z06.

yep ill take one!! sign me up, i think its a hot thing, just hope its got some good technology under the skin. hopefully the french people will still let the japanese people to build the ultimate supercar.

Not to open a can of worms, but...

The Chevy Z06 is a massive amount of car for the money. Something like $60,000 for a car that compete with cars costing twice as much. Even though it's GM, will likely fall apart in about 5 years, and every douchebag down the street will own one, they're still a force to be reckoned with. It should be interesting to see how these two cars match up--Best Motoring or Top Gear, are you listening?

The G35 is NOT a Skyline. The fact that some idiot at Nissan decided to call it a Skyline to please you couch-racers is also irrelevant. The G35 bears absolutely no resemblance to the GTR 32, 33, or 34 in any shape way or form. Some idiot at Nissan thought to play off the name and some of you gullible souls probably bought it so you could brag that you haved a Skyline. Well sorry you do not. You have a nice car, but its not a Skyline.

someone should break it to the poor boy that the R30 was a bastard child of the C210 Skyline... which then evolved to the R31 and consequently R32.

The Infiniti G35 is a "Skyline" since its identical to the JDM Skyline of the current era. Its a logical "clean sheet" continuation of the R3x series.

Otherwise, someone ask the poor boy if the R32-R34s were "playing off the" name since they have no resemblance to the original KPGC10 :(

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
