2009 BMW Z4 vs. 2009 Nissan 370Z

Here it is – the war of the ‘Zs.’ This past weekend during episode 6 of Top Gear season 13, Jeremy Clarkson pinned the new 2009 Nissan 370Z (which we’re driving around right now) against the new 2010 BMW Z4.

Refresher:

2009 BMW Z4 sDrive35i:  Power comes from a 3.0L twin-turbo inline-6 engine that makes a total of 306-hp. 0 to 60 mph in 5.1 seconds when mated to a manual transmission and 5 seconds flat when mated to the new 7-speed dual-clutch automatic with paddle shifters.
2009 Nissan 370Z: Power comes from a 3.7L VQ37VHR engine making 332-hp. Mated to a 6-speed manual gearbox that will allow for a 0 to 60 mph time in the low 4.7 seconds.

Wonder how fast The Stig lapped the Top Gear lap or which one Clarkson liked better? Make the jump for the video to find out.
