Top Gear, once again, is the 1st to test the actual production GT.

She placed 3rd overall on their leader board!

Can you believe it?

If God was a car...

Which one's easier to mod?

That's it for comments?!

Has anyone actually watched the episode? I must be alone here.

I saw it on Top Gear, too. Great review!!!

One thing about "Stig", he is only a man, like any of us, and may not have wrung out every last drop of performance out of the GT.

I'm not saying the test wasn't fair, but if he had more time with the GT, or any of the cars for that matter, the lap times might be even faster.

Top Gear probably won't get an Enzo to test either. Road & Track
had to use an owners car(the Utah guy) to do thier test and
feature articles. Since ALL the Enzo's were pre-sold, Ferrari
doesn't have a factory model to loan them. Unless they can
get a UK owner that has one, or take the show on the road, it's
likely they won't ever test that car.

But you can say that with any of the other cars. The stig does have some practice runs with the cars before the official lap. I'm happy with 2nd.

2nd
Ford GT - 1.21.9

Joint 3rd
Ferrari 360 CS - 1.22.3

Joint 3rd
Porsche GT3 RS - 1.22.3

4th
Murcielago - 1.23.7

5th
Zonda - 1.23.8


Koenigsegg - 1.23.9


Noble - 1.25.0


Gallardo - 1.25.8


Lotus Exige - 1.26.4


Chevrolet Corvette - 1.26.8

What Vette did they test, what options, if you konw? Top 10 aint bad in that company, with a regular 45-50k C6 Vette! I assume they tested a C6 with the Z51 package? Cant wait to see what the new ZO6 will do.

 

[91camaroRS]

did yall see the vedio of where they tested the vette they didnt like it at all!

 

[T-Bolt]

Could someone convert that vid for me? It said I needed to dl some dumb player.

 

[sjw985]

It's not a player, it's a perr-to-peer download system. Currently ( in addition to having probably installed spyware on my machine) on my 8 Mb downstream DSL I'm enjoying a 0 KB download rate and an expected completion time of 230+ hours from now. I'm not sure I feel like waiting that long. Oh now it's 313 hours, 26 minutes. Oh it just went up again. Oh well.

The Stig gets as long as he wants, weather permitting of course, to practice taking laps with each car before going for their final timed lap. Believe me...he didn't leave anything out there on the track. I'm sure if he had a week with each car on that list he could get every time a tad bit lower but he and Top Gear do their best with the time allotted to them.

Somehow you managed to leave off the Carrera GT which is #1 with a lap time of 1.19.8

Nothing wrong with the bronze medal though.

Anyway you slice it, the GT kicks ass! Hooray for the USA!

Oops. For some reason it wasn't listed on the topgear power lap board when I copied it. But I did get it right on my first post, go figure.:shrug:
