but sadly isnt as fun ):
Kind of backwards there, roads are never really strait now are they so it depends on how hard you want to push your car. Nobody buys 500hp to look at.
I think we could all figure out that a car from the 60′s would not have amazing brakes. It was the 60′s. I rock all original drum brakes in my standard Mustang 289 66 convertible, and i have no problems, they are fine. And i’m sure a high-powered race version(Shelby), would have better brakes than the average Mustang of the time… so i’d imagine they are completely fine. In line with its age.
LOL. You’re not seriously comparing a 45 year old car to todays standards… are you? Only 4.9 sec 0-60mph… in 1967…”ONLY”… haha. If you’d like to compare, this would be like the Ferrari 458 Italia of today. Now how does your cute little 370Z stack up against THAT? Besides the fact an original one of these would cost a quarter of a million dollars today. Let me know how much you get for the Nissan in 45 years time… Can’t beat a classic. If you could afford one, or drive one, you’d know.
its. a. muscle. car.
thats why dyno shops have a fan infront of the car,
and can handel the power more and dont have a live axel
To bad that dyno measured whp not bhp
Anyone else realize that its Hammond testing the car not Clarkson as the description would lead us to believe?
I dont know what people are on about with the roling road. In the challenge ‘as fast as an evo x’ where they put their subject car (renault…evantine?) on the roling road TWICE it gave a perfectly accurate rating. I dont see why this one wouldnt be. Perhaps the comment about the supercharger not gettig enough air might have something bt I doupt it. 35.000 pounds? Id rather have an Audi.
The GT500 won’t produce 500WHP on a dyno due to the fact that the car is not moving forward thus the supercharger isn’t sucking in as much air as it would if it were moving.
or in your case, you could use the money for a spelling tutor….
the 500 in GT500 has nothing to do with horsepower or engine size.
brake horsepower does not mean at the wheels. It means the horsepower when the dyno has “braked” the engine, not permitting it to accelerate. You can also calculate hp with the engine accelerating and take the acceleration into account. I don’t know if i’ve ever seen a journalist get that right
GT 500: 1:30
Impreza sti: 1:30.1
+200whp, twice the price, for only 0.1 sec. difference in a real track… Only fast in straight line, indeed.
pause on 4:24 for richard trollface hamster
That awkward moment when you thought you knew a lot about cars, but then you suddenly see the Top Gear YouTube comments and you’re put back in your place:/
more smoke only means the car is heavier, ive seen AE86s pull long slides with the tinniest amount of smoke coming out of the back
no big deal
I don’t think a stock 370z can do 0-60 mph for 4.5 sec…
i have driven an american car once, and i had more road feedback on my ps3 console.
Why would you buy gt500 when for the same money you can buy a m3 911 or merc with all will be better evary way so why buy badly made, expencive to run teribal at corners american car?
How about try to watch the video a little harder, he says it at 0:41 and at 0:52 and at 1:11, what video was you watching ??? LMFAO
“Limp wrist” this coming from a country that make high power cars that don’t know how turn corners UNLESS its to the left, You seriously need to start taking notes from the CLK 63 AMG BLACK a true muscle car
