Nissan 350Z vs Toyota GR Supra 2.0 Pro - Shootout OLD VS NEW | Fifth Gear

[@mohamedwaseemjoosub5104]

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

[@timberwolf2450]

Yup, had mine for 2 years before I totalled it... So I bought another one

[@clutch7366]

Enjoy your Z! Mine was T-boned in 2017 and I moved on to other cars since, but I still have dreams about driving it and having lots of fun with the 6-speed manual.

[@Visca_Motion_Pictures]

I also just got one in October!! Always been my dream car. It may not be as fast as modern day sports cars they’re 20 years old. Haven’t driven mine much other than the drive home and 2 miles around the block. Storing it in winter. I’ll be getting it tuned next season with just a intake and dual cat back. Not a loud exhaust but the valve rumble is amazing

ayyy I also have a Anniversary Edition with the Ultra Yellow color! Nice man

[@RavenClaw88]

I got the 04 model and I loved that car so much! I just now sold it after having it for 20 years. It was so reliable, and I hardly had to spend any money on it until this last year. The 99 Supra was my holy grail car. I wish I could get a new one now, but It just isn't practical for me right now. I did enjoy my time in the sun though. I hope you get to enjoy yours for many years to come!

[@Psythik]

Lucky! I can never find Anniversary Editions or Nismos for a reasonable price. But that's okay; I'm happy with my Roadster Touring manual in Daytona Blue. I've always wanted a convertible, and having one that's an absolute joy to drive is just the icing on the cake.

[@ObsesifAdam]

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

[@JohnnyB.]

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’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.

[@JamesGadbury]

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 ☺

[@blademanx]

Its like wearing headphones in your car or downloading v8 sound modules for your Tesla. The purpose was to enjoy your car without waking up the neighbourhood. 😂. Well said....I remember the feeling when i got my 2003 DE. Not the fastest but the drama. The 370 nismo in comparison was toned down. I guess thats why old mx5 NB NC were so popular. Now the 86. Modern cars are like laptops on soft springs 🤣. They dont evoke emotions like a 3.4 cayman or an open top MX5 with a nice exhaust can

[@sugerhitman1295]

Bought a 07 350z automatic to add to my two manual 6th Gen Camaros. Threw some long tube headers, resonated Y pipe, muffler delete and drive her in manual mode....A real machine! Cant wait to upgrade the rear end!

[@maniLNW]

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.

[@Kacpa2]

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

[@seanphillips9272]

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.

[@philipc239]

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.

[@powerswearingfluids]

Quoting Tiff Needell: Yes, I think age probably has [got something to do with it]," he continued. "I think some younger commissioning editor at Discovery has decided [that] he doesn't like an older person on his show - I don't know, I'm only guessing." "Nobody has given me any reason at all. I've had no communication, I've just been told that they think it'll be a better show without me." Said the guy in 2019 who till that day races classic cars in goodwood, which incidentally is one of the few motorsports that showcases close racing with conrinuous overtakes whilst respecting track limits

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!
