We all know the 300zx is the coolest.
its auto tho
Still one of the best cars of its time. Even if its the auto...
@@markproulx2765 auto or manual, a good car is a good car
Nah the porche
@@fm2theo865 the boxter is so... bland and is more of a b-grade 911 than a sports car in its own right anyway while the 300zx has style and it’s a nissan which speaks for itself
300ZX all day long, even if it's an auto.
Just swap it for a Manual
I‘m with you.
Have you seen the black one on Jimmy Oaks channel?
@@jaky2484 I'm not
Yep
"But you can't polish a turd"
"You can roll it in glitter"
My new favourite response
Mythbusters confirmed you can polish a turd, I'm not joking on that.
Jack nailed this challenge, that ZX is such a sweet machine.
I hope he hangs on to it.
God that Nissan has aged well. What a sexy looking car. No egg headlights or whatever the PT cruiser was supposed to be. If you guys think the Porsche is better looking, its ok, we cant all have good taste.
I wouldn't say the Porsche is better looking, but it's probably the more reliable and more economical car and if something fails parts are probably cheaper. So yes, the 300zx is the cooler car, but the Porsche is the one I'd rather own myself.
I own a 300zx and i can agree that it has a more aggressive and smooth styling to it,the Porsche is so underwhelming
Porsche any day, slap in H&R coilovers, maybe get the bigger Engine and you have an awesome driving maschine.
I own a straigt six. My self, but the sound of a Porsche flat six is just awesome.
My Dad got a 996 c2 and everytime i sit in this car i cant help myself but smile.
If you think you drove a good car, drive a Porsche, and you know what a good car is...
@@michihoffi69 and i was mainly talking about the boxter in the video,i absolutely love what porsche is pushing out in todays market and would love to own a newer one if i could ever afford it lol
That colour is perfect for that car as well, such an amazing design.
If this had been a Top Gear Challenge, the PT Cruiser would have been the back up car that nobody wants to drive!
James May would be driving it. 😂
The car car throttle equivalent to james may is driving it
And then they'd have dropped a caravan on it or used it for car darts.
Nah, that would have been the Fiat Multipla.
@@Balc0ra Or the nissan juke
"Handbrake down"
In the PT? It's FWD, that's the only car there with a factory line lock.
was thinking the exact same thing
Are you sure, wouldn’t it have to be rear line locks since it’s fwd?
@@meaculpamishegas Yes, hence why I was confused when they disengaged the handbrake (which locks the rear wheels)
I love how Ethan is slowly becoming a car guy before our eyes, but then has those super obvious moments where it really shines through that there's still a bunch to learn. Feels the same as I do hanging out with my car guy friends
@CT is infant grade content now lol imagine being this upset about free content
@CT is infant grade content now chatting right out your ass there mate 😂
"This is horrible" Yes, we know it's a PT Cruiser
We hate them here in the United States
@@Ranjuw You say that..but...the main thing making it worse than other American cars is how ugly it is. The others are just as bad under the sheet metal.
@@jblyon2 im not sure that there is a worse car you can buy for this challenge, unless your goal is just to actually make american cars look bad, plenty of older cars that can be bought for below 5 grand are better than this, this is just the worst example of it. even an old pick up truck would be faster than the shitbox that is the pt cruiser
PT=Pure Trash
@@Ranjuw *Ford GT has entered the chat
It was so funny when Alex was complaining about the pt cruiser, and Ethan and Jack were loving the other cars. Lol
I love how you don't give a fuck about the enviroment. Pollute that shit some more.
@@The_Reality_Filter GTFO
the PT cruiser is an awful ugly piece of poop.. honesly i'd be complaining about having to look at it its absoluty disgusting.. I'd rather have a multipla and that car looks like a diseased fiat panda
@@battyflaps5410 Lol
Pt cruiser is amazing
Don't diss the PT Cruiser, it was the most affordable car at the beginning of Gran Turismo 4.
Ptgt high output is an overweight srt4 and i love mine
Why is it in gran tourismo??
@@bertrandmelomane9548 The old Gran Turismo games had around 1000 cars. I think they added every car they could which was really cool.
The PT bruiser
@@sukhdevr3489 I loved the used car system in GT4
The PT cruiser with the top down looks like a bathtub 🛀 😂
Please, invsest in that 300xz !! It's a sick car !! Needs a manual swap, a paintjob and a tune. Tbh, it would make a cool series of videos.
Boxter is cool but JDM all day. And i'll just deny the PT cruiser even exists
Great english man, no need to worry!
Learn English
An auto non TT 300zx is not worth it
JDM is overrated
The pt cruiser is the one
I didn't know I actually like the 300zx in grey until this series. Damn she's nice
I remember seeing the headlights and thinking they are ugly but after this dam i think they look good
@@tojotajahtaaja7896 I feel you, the headlights are kinda wierd
It’s a very good looking car in that colour, especially with the complimentary wheel colour.
@@quincypurcell5222 they were also used on the Lamborghini Diablo. Made by Nissan. Projectors and all glass housings. Definitely quality headlights for the time.
@@tojotajahtaaja7896 me tooo! even the instrument panels inside, i was like wtf, next thing i know theres one on my neighbours drive, a year later theres one in mine
The PT a cruiser is FWD, you can’t apply the brakes on a FWD car, you need the E-Brake
I thought the PT had a hand brake n not a E brake (electronic hand brake)?
Right
Right
@@theghost1920 emergency brake you know what he means lol
@@theghost1920 that tells me a lot of your car knowledge bud, let me school you real quick, E brake translates to Emergency brake
Jack messing with Alex in the Porsche cracks me up every time
I know 1 good thing withthe PT cruiser: I don't have one. And that is a huge plus.
Same
I am actually surprised that there are still some PT Cruisers that are still running. Low quality crap.
@@MyRegardsToTheDodo for some reason my neighbor used to love them. And a lot other people
@@MyRegardsToTheDodo Really? My '06 is rock solid. I did a 4600 mile drive to Canada and back with no issues, and no breakdown coverage. I look after my cars though. I drove 10 hour days in it
@@JunkTardis but id much ratger have a clapped out astra than one of those things.
Imagine, trying a burnout in a FWD car by stepping on the BRAKES.. :(
Bro that’s what I’m saying, handbrake needs to be one for fucks sakes
@@sammiller6952 on*
I thought Alex would know better!
no wonder why they left eu...
@@BenasTei brexit is the result of britts not knowing how to do a fwd burnout...
Makes sense actually
The PT Cruiser GT shared the same engine as the Neon SRT4. 2.4L turbo making a modest 230 hp.
That automatic 300zx with the t tops is actually very Ethan 😂
Love having all three getting equal screen time. Feels like a proper show
Reminds me of topgear the golden times
Agreed. They should do this same challenge with hot hatches.
@@stevensen9867 exactly like old top gear, i love it
That Nissan is such a timeless machine
the part where they drove each others cars was freaking legendary
6:20 Ethan turning off the radio to save fuel while driving with the cabin lights on!
TONIGHT:
I say "Uhuhu huhu hu" 6:51
Jack does a burnout 3:00
Ethan giggles 11:55
and Gareth makes a cameo 23:18
TONIGHT
Alex becomes a hairdresser, Ethan changes her name to Karen and Jack is British Han.
@@RRSmurf Han Solo or Han from FF?
for the pt cruiser, just apply the handbrake and just gas it. It is fwd.
yeah i wasnt sure they were doing it satirically or not. i doubt they wouldnt of known it was fwd.
Probably couldn't pull skin or rice pudding 😂, best bet is reverse to first
@@Bilbobaggins82242 It couldn't even do that right, the clutch was done for.
Have you seen part 1? The handbrake is awful on this car, so it won't hold the car still
@CT is infant grade content now as if you made a account to troll them named after then 😅 what a fucking melt
I love how angry Alex gets with the PT Cruiser.
I love the way that 300zx looks. Saw one in person recently that came on a road rally, beautiful car.
You triggered a lot of people trying to do a front wheel drive burnout using foot brake. Not sure if it was intended but really made me feel awkward.
Yep that really got me too.
I dont think he realised that the pt crusier was fwd
Oh my god, so true, Alex must av known surly
No wonder they were killing the clutch!
Stunt man on neutral drop does it like daily .
If jack sells that car he's definitely wrong in the head it's gorgeous
AND the VG hasn’t thrown its timing into next Tuesday yet!
😂 but yeah, that shit is CLEAN.
I had a PT cruiser. It wasn’t bad though, reliability wise. Had for 8 years 😇 gave it to a friend’s daughter for her first car. It’s been 2 years, and she still drives it 🤷🏼♀️
Serious Top Gear vibes, I absolutely love it!
For me the Nissan is clearly the coolest of the three
16:41
alex: you cant polish a turd
jack: you can roll it in glitter
THIS IS SO UNDER RATED WHY DID NOBODY NOTICE ITTT
Love this kind of series, amazing chill along with a coffee kind of video. I really hope you get to have a huge budget cause it's so much passion about cars and nothing feels like it's forced comedy and shit on this channel. Lots of love guys!
Huge Top Gear Vibes with this series. Love it!
Those 300zx look so good, aged incredibly well.
Love that Nissan, even though Porsche is my dream car, that Nissan is freakin awesome
80s sport/grand tourer car without popups tho. Almost perfection
boxter it's most rubish porsche if u want buy one chose other brand or save some money for 911
@@mn1907 Keep telling people that, it keeps them cheap!
@@Pr0vost im saying that cuz they are rubish, porsche for people who wanna show up but can't afford one. Porsche know it that why they build it
@@mn1907 your brain is up your arse. It's a pure sports car like the Honda S2000
you boys crack me up, love these challenges but Jack, you kill me. Keep these coming
Best show you’ve done so far 💪 great idea and great humour 😂
Ebrake on, drop clutch. Y'all know you cant do a FWD burnout with the regular brakes.
hurt to watch them drop the e brake and then slam on the front brakes....
I don't think the e-brake was working. Ethan tried to use it during the drift challenge and all he got was a "bong" from the dashboard.
@@TraustiGeir doesn‘t matter if the handbrake works, getting on the footbrake is wrong no matter what in a fwd car...
@@bernhardire2557 Understood.
@@TraustiGeir some cars complain if you activate the parking brake while in motion (i.e. not parked). should work fine for a stand still.
"You look good in that!"
"Yeah?"
"Yeah!"
"You look good in that!"
"Do I?"
"Yeah!"
"He looks good in that"
"Shut up, I do not look good in this"
I watched this part 4 times 😭😭😭
Love the longer episodes great work everyone involved
You genuinely got something there, having 3 cars and challenges is so good !
I was laughing at Ethan trying to turn the windshield wiper off so much.
"We are taking our £5000 Sport's cars"
"And Ethan's PT Cruiser"
Savage
Great video, CT is always getting better! Please enable or add captions in future videos 😊
4:11 LOLOL @ the window sticker on Ethan's PT Cruiser! 😂😂😂
“I don’t know why are you in the middle of two people cleaning their car with water and you’re using waterless cleaner”
So funny 😂
Love it or hate it, jack and the niz is the perfect pair
A match made in heaven
best video on the channel! Top work fellas
More of these please!!!! Love it!
i dont like those porsches very much they look very plain, that 300zx is class though
Diablo headlights too
@@Sleepycatdesigns Bet you drive a malibu
@@WrektSK - Nailed it! Hahaha
I personally like the look of the Porsche over the 300zx, I’ve always been a fan of German cars, especially Porsche.
Should be called a Porsche Clitoris, cos every c**ts got one
“What’s the worst car we can use to represent America?”
Any other American car in the UK under 5k wouldn't be better
@@gabrielcooper1248 an older focus st?
Next up they should do the same with 10 grand budjet each, if seriously could find some decent wheels to represent
I think the most funny thing is. The PT isnt even a sports car at all. It was some odd hybird compact crossover SUV. Shame that Ethan didn't get that memo.
@@patrick-bp4en more European than American
Jack, you smashed this. Looking for one of these now. Love them!!!!
Really enjoyed this episode guys, keep it up!
The quality is so good that I feel I have to watch this on my TV because my phone isn't worthy
Watched it on my computer, for similar reasons!
Alex hasn’t got a clue, pressing the brake while trying to do a burn out in a FWD car! 🤦🏻♂️
@ 11:33: that look you give your friends when you know your doing something dangerous but their going to love it 🤣🏎💨
Congrats on 3 mill!!! Woo! Been here since the car guy vs none car guy episodes. Can’t wait for the future of car throttle.
Doing a manual gearbox swap on the Nisan 300ZX would be a lovely build project!
….especially if Ethan did it!
I agree
No a JDM fan, but that 300ZX looks great.
54 Cymru Beats is RDJ's best track. Change my mind.
Please do more episodes like this guys! So fun to watch! And it inspires me to buy a crappy old sports car and fix it up! 👍👍
Can't remember the last time I laughed so much. Thanks guys! Amazing content.
21:00 I enjoyed the 'washing the car' section way too much 🤣🤣
Ngl I really want to see the Ethan’s Z3
T H E E T H A N
Why would you lie about it?
Class episode guys! Love the cheap car challenges😁
Awesome guys! Jack with the well deserved win there. Out of those three cars, Jacks Nissan looked at home on the Caffine and Machine carpark 👌🏻
Nothing comes close to the Cruiser, it’s pure perfection.
Don't be such a cumulus nimbus
puke perfection
found the guy with extra chromosomes
Even as a joke I can't let this slide
Ethans burner account...
11:48 GO ETHAN! All he needs is the right car!
I felt so happy to see that happening!! Ethan is actually enjoying a petrolhead car!
10:06 The banter, I *love* their banter.
these challenges remind me of a more civilized version of the old top gear, love them
Don't you have to use the handbrake to do a FWD Burnout?
Thank you! Exactly what I thought. At the beginning I thought they were only trolling Ethan.
Taken years off his clutch doing that😂foot brake while doing a fwd burnout 😂😂
Genuinely disappointed in Alex. Meant to be a car guy?!? Braking on fwd burnout 🤷♂️
@@davebgsi maybe he forgot it wasn't rear wheel drive
@@sirmounted8499 Even if he did forget that it's FWD, he should have realised after the first attempt.
Someone give these boys a big crew and a budget and watch them make the next huge car show.
I’m not sure throwing more money and more people at it would mean something better. At the moment they have total control of everything.
I do miss the old TG challenges. Here’s the CT guys keeping them alive! 🤘🏻
6:55 Ethan needs his DRS, get back within a second of him!
I still feel attacked that someone picked a PT Cruiser to represent American cars...
Still better than Porsche in cornering and braking tho.
Not a sports car at all lol
Neon
What do you mean!?! It's big, ugly and has a shit*y build quality, "features" synonymous with american cars. Imo it is a perfect car to represent the US in general.
@@10awkwardpenguins so I guess you have never been in a Porsche and are horribly informed.
The PT Cruiser is one of those cars that's so deeply uncool that eventually it will go full circle and be the definition of chic. HODL Ethan 💎🙌.
A pt turbo would be a fun little daily. Same engine as the neon srt4, but no one would ever expect a pt cruiser to have 300+ whp
😅👨🔧😎
This was brilliant guys please do more challenges like this! Next one gotta be a caravan holiday! £1000 budget for the tow car 🤙🏻
Great series guys
I’ve absolutely loved seeing Ethan evolve into a petrol nut and a car guru 😂
Just watched while waiting for peeps to join Zoom... I caught myself on the webcam grimacing every time I saw the PT..😂 The interior is beyond words... 🤢
Jack's 300ZX is hands down my winner..
Thanks boys.. x
The joys of life: When driving "Spirited" and you nail the perfect gear change, when driving economically and you get the smoothest, low-revved gear change.
This has top gear vibes and I love it, please make more like this 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
24:57 Guards red 992 GT3 in the background looks amazing
Alex, you cheeky basterd, giving Ethan burn out instructions for an RWD car in a PiTy Cruiser🤣😂
Also, that guy's face at 15:28 is fucking priceless.
@CT is infant grade content now that was not a lie, it was what I genuinely thought... What is your preferred weapon of choice, if you don't mind me asking?
And...
Do you seriously have a dedicated CZcams account to shit on CT?
11:55, shows that natural amazing feeling you get from driving a great car.
14:36 Really thought/hoped that was the PT cruiser in the ditch on the right.
Omg part 2 yesss, i loved the first part
All real drivers know the PT Cruiser was THE only choice for your first car, in Gran Turismo....
Fair play to jack's burn out, that was pure class 😎😎😎
Great episode lads, hilarious
12:22 "I want to try and find something good". Scuttle shake immediately blurs the camera.
Love when Alex is flexing while spraying his wheels
I loved this series
This had me laughing a lot, loved the vid :)
Why you would push the brake on a FWD car to do a burnout I will never know 😂😂 that being said, I love the videos...keep up the good work lads 👍
No joke , this is almost as good as Hammond , May and Clarkson.
They're getting there for sure. This was a great episode, and 26mins is amazing production.
Except the budget.
@@esphilee what about 5he budget?
Not even close. Be honest.
@@d.jacobush.7389 I was honest. It's very close.
It's been a while since I've actually laughed out loud at a video. That was quality
This is genuinely one of the funniest videos I have ever watched on CZcams
