    You will find it at the above link, probably after the show. I am sure someone will also post it. Don't worry, it will appear soon enough ;).

    Yeah, it's quite a challenge. Jeremy was never a fan of Porsche and has always been a lifelong Ferrari fan. Let's see ;).

    Those are Torrents. You need a client to download those, such as BitComet.

    It is just a site to watch racing videos, and it is also OK to be cheap.

    ;) My pleasure.

    It all boils down to what you love most and what you want in a car and that is the way it should be.
    Both are great cars. "Perfect math and engineering with astonishing results" vs. beauty, sex appeal, and incredible performance.

    No need, what for? He said it, 0-100 in 3.9sec and 40-60 in an astonishing 1 sec. The 911 feels faster and steering seems to be more responsive and precise over the overly precise steering feel of the F430, but again I am no professional driver, but I don't think I need more steering precision ;). The F430 feels like driving on tracks. Top speed is 200mph. Both cars are very similar in performance, the 911 might have a small edge over the F430 and be slightly faster. It's lighter with more or less the same HP.
    But the 911 IMO has definitely one big problem. There is no music coming out of those pipes ;), nothing comparable to the sounds emitted from the F430 :).

    Just need some clarification...the 100 you reference is obviously kph, is the 40-60 also in kph?

    I just watched the video again. He did not say, but I would assume and hope ;) it is "kph" otherwise that's an incredible time if it were in "mph" and I don't think any car is yet capable of doing 40-60mph in 1 sec. The F430 does 60-100kph that is about the same as 40-60mph in over 3 secs.

    I just noticed that Clarkson is mistaken stating that the 911 Turbo is lighter than the F430. The 911 Turbo is heavier weighing 3495 lbs vs. 3150 lbs for the F430 (Curb Weights).
