Yeah TOP GEAR is great entertainment, im sure everyone agrees. At the same time they do post up valid times. STIG is shown to post a time that is respectible on that track right up there with F1 drivers. Maybe u dont watch it, but they have had around 4-5 F1 drivers to compete with the STIG and i think it was Lewis Hamilton the only one to be faster? (theory as he was on a damp track at the time) Other drivers like even Jenson Button etc, posted slower times.

In anycase, he goes around that track so many times, i think the times he has posted are credible.

Fark u are really stupid arnt ya to understand a point. LP640 being faster is credible and respectible by anyones view. I dont aruge that. But the point im saying and everyone has been stating over and over, is a SUPERCAR with all that development, cost, power, aerodyamics, 4WD, Midship layout etc, still is only 1 second faster. As is the Zonda aswell only 1 second quicker against that EVO. 1 second FASTER for fuk sakes against ur typical saloon with a brick like shape for aerodynamics, heavy front engined car, etc. Of course Mitsi has done what they can in trying to lower the center of gravity in the way of lightweight material like bonnet and roof, front guards etc, but it still essentially a front heavy, 4 door car. What we are all saying is, a supercar like a zonda and lambo with its wider track, wider tires, lower car, midship layout, aerodynaimcs, huge brakes, etc... why is it only 1 second faster??!

The thing is, if its on TOP GEAR, or Nurburgring times posted, or Magazines (not from MAX power u tosser, have never bought a mag like that, more refined and tasteful like SPEED magaizne from aussie) like Driver, Car etc, or track times posted by other people, DVD Best Motoring by racing drivers or WATEVER, they seem to be all bullshit to you and we are just gullible. I guess because they are all just shit and ur a better driver right? And its only a driver like you that can truely exploit the midship layout?

Because you know better about the laws of physics right?
