Trev-the-Rev Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 EVO magazine this month have put the 07MY zed up against the Z4 3.0 coupe. And whilst they rate the Z4 very highly, the ZED comes out on top in all areas. The new engine gets their vote and as they state, "The 350's new V6 feels good for every last one of its 309bhp." On the Millbrook mile straight the Zed recorded a 0-100mph of 13 secs dead which is quicker than the Monaro VXR. They recon the Zed feels better on the road than the Z4, is faster and is ultimately better value for money. IMO, their final summary says it all - "if you really want to drive, the 350Z is unquestionably more capable, inspiring and ultimately, faster over all typres of road."

The Z4M engine is a peach.... are you comparing the bonnet bulge with the engine the reason that they have done the comparison is that the 2 cars are closely matched in price; the Z4M is £10k more. I'd have an Aston over a Mondeo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 On the Millbrook mile straight the Zed recorded a 0-100mph of 13 secs dead which is quicker than the Monaro VXR. Hmm, I can't quite get that into my head. I just sold a Monaro VXR and there was no comparison to a Zed, it would leave one standing. Unless maybe they are talking about a 5.7 ( 354 bhp ) and not a 6.0 ( 403 ). Very strange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickya Posted June 23, 2007 Share Posted June 23, 2007 Z4M is completely different kettle of fish compared to Z4 3.0. That would give the Zed a run for its money & I reckon the Z4 may come out on top. (ps Must stop using similies etc & write proper English!)

Stew Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Dan, results are sometimes odd. Some cars feel quicker than they are and some cars give devestating figures when they really don't feel that quick! The Z4 isn't my cup of tea at all looks wise. The M engine is superb though.

Kev946 Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Tyres can make a big difference on standing quarter, even road tyres. Even the street cars when drag racing use slicks PS: Just wtaching Extreme Channel on Sky and saw a Top Fuel at last years FIA Drag Racing final do a 4.7 secs...

flirt Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Just ask the guy in the Z4 M who got wiped on the weekend!!! Z4 M = £38 K 350Z + TT = £35k Great result!!! Well until I come to sell it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
