great video,,, man it makes me want to buy a convertible fairlady now! because they are cheaper than an m3, more parts, easier to work on, more of a sleeper, better balanced, did i mention they were a lot cheaper?

Z's are great tuners but M3's just have a certain vibe and look to them that I love. German cars are expensive but they are usually pretty cool to drive. I thought my IS350 was great UNTIL I drove a BMW. I love BMW cars but I hate the dealerships, salesmen and people who own most of them.

Kinda sad for the IS-F. The M3 didn't do all that great either...the Nismo Z has 306hp and the other two have over 100hp on it. Perhaps the new e92 isn't as track capable as previous M's.

so the "fearlady" Z (as they called it) almost beats all of these and can be bought for $26K!?!??!?!?!
I feel the same.......but only about the M3 coupes....I don't lke sedans anymore...too boring (looks) for me, I don't care how much HP it has.

or its biased. IMO, Best motoring is hella biased towards japanese cars, I bet you if we did the same race in a european show like top gear or 5th gear, you'll deff get a different outcome. theres no way a nismo z can hang with is-f or m3.

the german car won and last i checked, the IS-F is Japanese. I don't see a reason why they would favor the z over the Japanese IS-F.

And you're right, the results would have been different if Top Gear conducted the race. Here is what would happen:
1st: Stig in the S2000
2nd: Clarkson in the Z
3rd & 4th: DNF. Hammond in the M3 and May in the IS-F crash into each other in the 1st lap.
