A little off topic, so apologies. Just to emphasize just how skilled a driver Misha is check this out from a few hours ago. At just on 200kmh in an Audi RS4... Coolant pump ruptured and sprayed coolant onto rear tires ....... car goes sideways and in a split second he reacts and does an...

And... That's fair enough ............. BUT! Nissan markets the STD Z (Performance) as a "High-performance SPORTS car" .... thus, you would assume it would be reasonably capable around a track such as the ring.

Fair point..

Rubbish .... There have been plenty of bone stock cars put around that track that have performed admirably. The STD Z just wasnt one of them..

Agree with your statement other than the bit i highlighted .. here in Aus its not a "Bargain Price " !!! STD Z is circa AUD $80K.... there are MANY other cheaper options here that absolutely trounce a STD Z in performance!!

Absolutely. (y) One thing of interest though... If you were to be bothered and watch the Vid i posted earlier of the Stock Z32 he drove , you will see that it is faster at every point than the current STD Z Misha drove .... quite embarrassing considering the 35+ year age of the Z32 !!

I do not doubt your Z with your "modifications" .... i am just referring to a bog stock "STD" Z. My "Old" Z32 with it "modifications" ( 500+ whp) was Sooooo much better than the bog stock STD Z i drove ! I drove it to the dealership, so it was out of the "old" into the "new" ...then back...

Not my criteria, but it does show how cars do compare . I am a LONGTERM Z fan, but when i test drove the STD "Z" it was a huge disappointment.... basically, a big heavy, wallowing affair! and the "400HP" certainly didn't feel like "400hp" . Nissan market it as a high performance "Sports Car"...

There are plenty of cars Misha has put around the the ring that are a cheaper than the STD "Z" that have performed exceptionally well! :rolleyes:

Good God !! Just watched the Vid with Misha driving the NEW Z !! That is SOOOOO embarrassing!!

And in contrast... Misha in a stock 30+ yr old Z32... EXTRA BOOST Nissan 300ZX x BMW G80 M3! // Nürburgring - YouTube

Great to see some appreciation of the old Z32 !! (y)

It does come with a removable rain shield for wet weather use...

Excuse the non Z pics, BUT... i recently got a VARIS Carbon bonnet for my GRC....VERY expensive but the quality and fit is just superb !!!. VARIS do a model for the Z.. VARIS - Nissan Z - RZ34 - COOLING BONNET HOOD(CARBON+) - VBNI-130 - NO CLEAR COAT - Import Monster

:LOL:
