How can you choose a best from all of Top Gear's videos? Those guys are so awesome that they could make a Yugo look like a super car.
But if I have to choose then I must go with the following. In no particular order. Koenigsegg :22yikes: Carera GT McLearen Mercedes Lotus Exige vs. the AH-64 Apache |

Re: What is the best Top Gear/5TH Gear video?
For me, the best Top Gear videos are :
-Lotus Exige vs. the AH-64 Apache(JC) -Aston Martin DB9 VS. the Eurostar Train(with James May, Stig, and JC) -The test drive of the SLR (with Stig) -Koenigsegg CC with JC(JC again) 5TH GEAR: -Enzo(Tiff) -Challenge Stradale(not excellent but not bad either, with Vicki) -Aston Martin DB9( I love the car but who was that guy? He's not bad but he has a long way to go to be like Tiff) To be perfectly honest I did not get to see many 5TH Gear videos just yet. I'll post more as I keep on watching |

Re: What is the best Top Gear/5TH Gear video?
The one were they test the SKYLINE, they say it was made to compete against the playstation generation or some shit.
The one were they say that the bmw z4 and porshe boxters are real sports cars, and at last they introduce the s2000 saying that is the REAL hardcore sports car.

Re: What is the best Top Gear/5TH Gear video?
Sorry, but a Japanese Super Car is a contradiction in terms. Don't get me wrong I like the Skyline, and the NSX, but they don't hold a candle to the Europeans. Here in the states we made a good attempt at a super car with the Viper, but even it still comes short of the likes of Ferrari, Lambos, Mclearen Mercedes SLR, Lotus Elise....on and on the list goes. Euros have always dominated the rest of the world.

Top Gear Hot Lap Times- http://www.bbc.co.uk/topgear/powerlaps/ The only one missing is the Cerrara GT which is in the number 1 spot @ 1.19.8. 1st Mercedes McLaren SLR - 1.20.9 Joint 2nd Ferrari 360 CS - 1.22.3 & Porsche GT3 RS - 1.22.3 3rd Murcielago - 1.23.7 4th Zonda - 1.23.8 5th Koenigsegg - 1.23.9 6th Noble - 1.25.0 7th Gallardo - 1.25.8 8th Lotus Exige - 1.26.4 and it was tested on a wet track 9th Porsche 911 GT3 - 1.27.2 10th TVR 350c - 1.27.5 The Viper has not been tested to date, but by this I'd say that the Lotus Exige (U.S. version of the Elise) is in some pretty good company. There is also a video out that shows a Exige beating a Porsche GT3 and a Ferrari F-50, sure on the straights the other two have the edge but the Exige out handles them both. The Viper doesn't hold a candle, a large front engine rear drive, versus tiny mid-engine rear drive built for performance handling....I dare say you stand corrected sir.

Re: What is the best Top Gear/5TH Gear video?
ok you have point with handling. but in the straite see ya later. sure the elise handles lake a freakin dream go kart handling haha. also i know they had made the venom series viper w/ something like 610/710 horsepower. they had made 600 or so they said in one of my magazines now if this is true(im not sure because ive never seen one) i doubt the elise has a chance. u also gotta admit the viper does handle exceptionally well for a rear wheel drive. we have CAROL SHELBY to thank for this

http://www.hennesseyperformance.com But, let's keep things in perspective here, we all know that there is a difference between a Hennessey Venom and a Lotus Exige off the showroom floor. I still have to wonder how well a 1000 hp front/engine, rear/wheel drive car that is as large as the Venom would handle on a road course. They put up 1/4 mile times in the 8 second range, but that is a lot of weight to be slinging around. Now you give that thing launch control and traction control like the F-1 cars have and now we have a very interesting situation. Could you imagine a 1000hp Viper that you could manage through a road course without spinning out on every turn?! That would be thing of beauty. BTW; it looks like Hennessey Motorsports is working on some European cars too: Audi RS6, BMW M5, Lamborghini Gallardo-Murcielago, Mercedes AMG, Porsche Cayenne-911 & GT2. Hmm, these might prove to be interesting indeed.

And what european car do you own so that you know their strengths? Oh and you want American Supercars try the Ford GT or better yet the Lingenfelter Corvette. THOSE are true cars and will beat any European car. I know the Europeans have good cars but so do the Americans. Give credit where its due. |
