Audi TT RS vs Porsche Boxter S vs Nissan 370Z #TBT - Fifth Gear

It's #ThrowbackThursday so we're bringing you a fan favourite. The Audi TT vs Porsche Boxter S vs Nissan 370Z and as Tiff said, it's a battle of gladiatorial proportions!

0:15 When you said "forty-eight thousand-pound Audi", I first thought "That is one heavy car". Then, I later realized that you're talking about price. Lol.

An automatic convertible Z every one knows thats not going to A manual nismo Z would be much more fair

[kristjanveski]

Happy TTRS owner here! I'm always surprised by how easily I can toss the rear end out, but as it's AWD, does snap back quite abruptly. Still an amazing and versatile car, especially on the street, I would pick it over the other two any day.

[PhotoArtBrussels]

I dont understand why only 2 of the 3 are convertibles with a weaker chassis. And the 370Z is the automatic version?? A cayeman s and 370Z coupe nismo would be much more correct. You people always say convertibles fave more flex ... I dont understand how you can choose this lineup.

[natarajanshanker]

So he uses a convertible Z with traction control on and an automatic?! This was rigged to make the Z fail. Also how about comparing prices?

[kameronscott]

how could you compare a audi tt rs to a convertible z. This was aweful

[SuperQbik]

damn, Jason pulled off some sick drifts in that Porsche

[aaryeshg.]

3 cars with 3 different gearboxes lmao.
TT had a manual
Boxter had a PDK
370Z had a torque converter auto
Doing Gymkhana and track-days with an automatic gearbox... :-P

[GaiaMiranda]

Yeah I could hear he didn't know what the hell he was doing in that Z. You can't run those with low Rs!!!! You have to push them up in the high6s or into 7 to get the best action out of the car especially around corners and I could hear he was being lazy with the engine and DEFINITELY was quirky with his shifting of it which he admitted in one of the contests. As an owner of the Z and someone who economically updated it I can tell you I could have given those guy a real run for their money on the drifting and the flying run race. Notice as well they did not do a race from a dead stop, VERY SUSPICIOUS as the Z is really quick off the line. This was more about how those guys drive than the cars they did. JUST SAYIN!

[BoraMarkovic]

So basically its not showing us which car is better and faster but which driver sucks more? If you wanted a nice comparison maybe you should have done it differently. The way it is, its a show and a not comparisson. 

[SIMcityplayer]

I think Audi TT RS cabriolet vs Porsche Boxster S vs Nissan 370Z or Audi TT RS vs Porsche Cayman S vs Nissan 370Z would be more fair since convertibles have weaker bodies (I know this was for fun).

[mjl]

As soon as it showed it was a convertible and automatic Z, I lost interest.

[dariomilardovic]

some how I like Z .. I don't care wich one is faster

[andyharris]

Having owned both the 370Z and the Audi, the Audi is noticeably quicker but the 370Z steering is much more precise. However on the whole I prefer the Audi.

[stanglmeier]

The TT-RS 5cylinder reminds me of a gallardo revving to 6k (TT-RS redline)

[hypnotixz]

So two convertibles vs a hard top? We can see this is already bias

[coopsnz]

In Australia Cayman s is $90000 aud more, than a Base model 370z .

[danhalfhill]

Yeah, figured the Box would get it. Wonderful, wonderful cars those Box’s are! And cheap. So buy one and you too will be a believer in the Box.

[jamesf]

All this car testing footage really got in the way of the ads.

[winglessang]

Why are we comparing roadsters to a coupe? Should be a Cayman and a hard top 370.
