Let's all guess: 1. It's impossible to drive...really it is. 2. I don't like the electronics...I want to feel I'm in control. 3. It's too noisy...I can't hear myself talking full time. 4. I can't keep from spinning out...really, I'm a good driver. 5. It's impossible to drive...even Stig couldn't handle it. 6. It's the worst Ferrari since...well, the last one. 7. It looks like a 599...jeez, what makes it cost so much more. 8. I can't seem to make it drift for the camera...really, I'm a great driver. All in all, the usual Clarkson Clown act is expected. Do enjoy
It will either be exactly like this as it was in his DVD or it will be a complete turnaround from what he originally said. Either way I love the car and can't wait to see it's lap time
Sometimes I'd wish I had a mute button for Clarkson's voice. Just the sound of the 599 GTO is enough.
Yes. Remember in the DVD he said Stig hated it because it "pitched" him off the track. Will be interesting indeed.
Well that was Old-Stig The new one comes from a better cradle from what I've heard. Let us hope that the new baby-who-grows-fast-Stig did some renewed laps with the GTO.
Make it Captain Slow. I just don't like that Hammond, reminds me of that irritating bloke you always had in your class.
Yeah I only said Hammond cause he hasn't done a power test in a while and May did one last episode so I thought it might been him.
I did indeed. Saw the California "review" and I wasn't really impressed. UK TG is very amuzing yet it isn't a show for information.
So you have not heard the news then http://transmission.blogs.topgear.com/2011/01/27/top-gear-wins-national-television-award-again/
Well my take is anyone that has been fortunate enough to experience a 599 GTO will be able to attest to the fact its a phenomenal car and lets be honest I tend to think anyone lucky enough to have a GTO in the garage wouldnt really care to much about what Clarkson thinks of it...
As you expected Clarkson just complains about the electronics Then on the track it gets a time that is slower than the Scuderia Sorry but having had both the Scuderia and the GTO - there is simply no way the Scuderia can be faster on that track imo
You know it's funny reading people getting all worked up about someone else's opinion. It's an epic car end off... the rest doesn't matter.
Spoilers. 599 GTO: 1:19.8 430 Scuderia: 1:19.7 458 Italia: 1:19.1 Enzo: 1:19.0 To give a comparison though, the 599 GTB did it in 1:21.2
Do you realize that the old Stig set scud time, and new Stig set GTO time. That may be comparing apples to cumquats. Just sayin.
There has always been more than one Stig at a time, so comparing any times at all is open to debate. There is also the weather to take into account. This is the best that we can do for this particular track. These times are just something to take note of.
