That's been around for a while now David.

This one was broadcashed in UK only a day or so ago ... so should be new. They have the brand new / updated RX8 there and the 230kW Zed with the bonnet bulge.

 

Seen that. It is a very tight test road (not quite a track since it is really a 2 lane road). It is concrete and I don't think the 8 will get much grip there and make use of its Bilstein.

Nath always jump to comment before looking at the link. haha.

 

Why would they show the same thing again?

I'll have a look at it when I get time.

 

Why would they show the same thing again?

I pressume because the RX8 just received an update.

 

No way!

They call that an update?

 

well, the gear ratio is different, and (read somewhere) that the gt is actually faster on the track than original rx-8, so I guess that kind of warrant another test. not sure about the 350z, but i think they also get an upgraded engine. so both car arguably are updated.

 

God.. 5th gear has nothing else to test the track with. They never have an over-100K quid car on Angelsea (last track) before. Do they? One Lambo that was it me thinks
