Yeah, that standard of measure just became worthless to me.
If people look to Top Gear as a standard for objective facts, they may end up disappointed. I watch it for the entertainment value and for the cars.

Don't take it seriously. Just enjoy the show. Hell, Clarkson's going to contradict himself on a car every third episode, but he's funny.

And these cars are taken out on different days by a racing driver. The conditions vary from wet/cold, hot/dry, etc, etc. Who knows what that driver's natural talents are and why some cars go faster in his hands? It's not set up for consistent results.
