Great Car Faceoff: The Champion
Well, at least you can’t say the fix was in. In a contest where our seeding was roundly questioned, the title match came down to a No. 6 seed versus a No. 7 seed. Oh, well. There’s always next year.
As for the 350Z, the fans came out of the woodwork early and often. And what passionate fans they are: They were happy to tackle each and every foe, but they took particular joy in voting down the popular — and controversial — Mini Cooper, which some voters claimed had been “fixed” as the winner of the contest. Among the comments: “The Z totally dominates the Mini in every way — for speed and performance, on the road, on the track, from a stoplight, careening around the corner on two wheels while trying to lose the police trailer … well, you get the picture.”
Here are all the cars the 350Z had to vanquish on its way to the title:
- Scion tC
- Chevy Corvette
- Porsche Cayman
- BMW 335
- Mini Cooper
- BMW X5
So, congrats to the 350Z. We’ll see how it fares in next year’s voting.
