If you ask me, it's a ripoff of the older video that I think is much better:

Absolutely. Nothing will ever surpass the Rendezvous experience, especially on the big screen with the speakers turned up.

Kinda boring stuff in a way...
in the 1st clip i don't think it was so much that fast (the z) because the driver didn't really push it at the max. All i can hear is the annoying part of pedal to the metal at high revs and then alot of lift off AND I MEAN ALOT! Sometimes he just cruises throught the bends. Also you don't see soo much driver techniques. I didn't hear at all a heal and toe techinque for example. Also on a few parts you could have overtaken him with a tweaked scooter. Besides the nice angles and cameras and some (poor) drifts there isn't much of it. Also in both videos traffic was extremley light. Also in the 2nd video the cam was fixed at the front wich makes it appear that the car is moving alot faster that it really is. Try do it with quite alot of trafiic and then come and calim a getaway or whatever...
Overall i'm not impressed by either of the 2 clips. Nice to see and to forget.

Okay then...for me, I get stressed out watching the spectacular Rendezvous video -- no matter how many times I watch it...

(And don't get me started on that glorious sound of the Ferrari... )

I realize that the audio is dubbed but it's still a blast to watch...

Here's some information on the Rendezvous video in case anyone is interested:

I watch this wayyy before I bought E60. I was so much in love with this 350Z because of this commercial. Time went by, I had a chance to drive the car, and it turned my dream upside down. The ride is too harsh. Rattle like crazy, and cheap material.

I do not why people get so offended? Replies like ahhh no traffic.... ahh it is a setup..... well you want a video of this happening in a daily city trafic???? in that case that would be pretty stupid because it would be dangerous. are you nuts people who wants this in real traffic???

all I'm saing it is a ok car video to watch with nice sound and surrounding. period. but really replies like you can over take him with scooter are pretty stupid imho.... it is a comercial video afterall.... no reality at all.... just nice to watch and let it go....

again, I'm no protecting the movie.... not at all... I do not care.....
I'm just suprise by some of the replies here......demanding running red lights for real and stuff???? come on.... you are smarter than this $#&#%^
