Keiichi Tsuchiya tests Z4 3.0i

R1robot · 09-15-2013, 03:44 AM

My japanese isn't enough to translate the entire video but from what i can understand:

-looks funny
-suspension is good
-its fast
-brakes aren't as good

His rating system from top to bottom it says:
-sports class
-sedan class
-(not sure what it says but i'll leave that to your imagination)

I'm surprised to see how he rates all the cars.

Something is wrong with the video fps :P Anyway, I'm surprised he chose automatic transmission.

Choosing the AT for a performance test says enough about the quality of the test imho......

I'm not so sure about how he rates the cars, and yeah the video is not in sync with the audio. I could'nt find a better video, the other one was worse with the a/v sync. i find it a bit odd the corvette was rated at "sedan class", in other words, it sucked.

2003/2004 3.0i without the sport package, on stock runflats, oh and an auto, I'd say so. At least performance wise.
