Score one for McLaren. Eat it, b1ades!
What? I don't hate the McLaren, I just like the Italia better. Also since the McLaren was designed for the Top Gear track, it better go around it faster :bowrofl:

Fact: a Prius would leave an m3 behind anywhere up to 107mph, then the m3 only wins due to higher top speed

Only because of the tires

I read the times on that track and....wtf? Supposedly an RX8 is faster than a 575 Maranello and a BMW 535D beats a Noble M12 GTO?

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.

:facepalm: The times for the maranello and noble were under very wet and wet conditions respectively. Top gear estimates about 4 seconds slower lap times on average due to wet conditions.

Someone else already said it. but damn. this was my dream car as a kid. it was my dream car's dream car. I grew up with posters of it.... also the 911 and the r32 skyline gtr.

I mean as a kid if I had this lambo, it would be like being king of the world.

Car shows as a kid really set me up for disappointment in life. :shakes head:
