You lucky guys! Are there any job opening at CW?

-6sec for the ton dash seems a bit low-guess its our fuel?

Yes - it's the fuel, like we've stated at the bottom of the chart. Plus I didn't dare turn off the traction control. I wouldn't, not with 500+bhp going to my rear wheels!

Thank you - we've recently hired someone to do photography exclusively, so please direct all praise and criticism for the photographs to Vrushali - she'll be on our forums soon enough, I expect!

As for the 370Z, Nissan does plan to sell it in India, but they won't say when. I'm not going to hold my breath for it until after they've got their factory going.

Thanks Charles.  As always, the review is wonderful.

And thanks to Vrushali for the lovely photos.

and about 370Z, Yes they don't plans to launch it now, but hope it comes here soon!

OMG!!!

Lucky you. The max I've seen is a 2 seater convertible. I guess the SLK.

BTW did Ban get to drive the car. I think it is him in the car and you are missing in the pics. 

I did want to read more.

OT: Dude, we have lot of pending TD's. Vista Saffire, i20, Linea petrol etc etc. Its been a long long time.

@Vrushali: Awesome job done. Especially this and this.

However, Do improve the motion captures and the interior pics.

Yes, that is Banwari driving the car in the motion shot, and Vrushali's next to him. I took that shot from an accompanying car. I could write reams about the car, but not in road-test form!

I don't usually let anyone take my pic with the cars I drive, but I didn't pass up the opportunity with this one. Here it is:
