from what I heard, it was .4 slower than that......odd

[IOWNU]

****SPOILER******

I noticed that the GTR was 4th and the car that was 5th had the same time. So how do they differntiate which car comes 4th and which comes 5th? Does it go by price or date or what?

When I saw it it was 100th/sec slower than 3rd place, but the more I look into it the more it sounds than someone was editting that Wiki page every couple of hours...

[Chris-06R]

The only person who knows the actual time before the program airs is the Stig - and he doesn't know how to edit wiki, so its all bullshit atm...

[dan_the_man]

the stig is wiki

they are one. stig wiki wiki stig

oh man cant wait to see the episode tomorrow night.

[Bliksem]

The only person who knows the actual time before the program airs is the Stig and TREG & Supraman fom GTR.co.uk, and the studio Audience - and he doesn't know how to edit wiki, so its all bullshit atm...

Fixed it for you...

You are correct!

If WIKI 'was' right, it 'was' 1'18.9" before it was pulled.

But patience is a virtue

[skyline_man]

Apparently someone on the corvette forum said that the GTR came third on the top gear track!! He was completely blown away after he found out it's time. Whoever doubt that it will never make top ten should hang their head in shame.

thing is, the ascari is barely what ud call a road car, its not legal in a lot of countries, the only reason it was accepted as a legal road car was because it can be setup for the road, but the time was set as a non-road legal car. the CCX was not standard, it was modified, the enzo and pagani are just nuts and the MC12 is just an enzo with a different shell, so for the GTR to be up there is amazing.

[dineth]

so does anyone know the time for sure?

[sh@un]

if it doesn't make the top 20- i'll eat my shirt with the condiment of your choosing

*leaves shirt on*

[Gazzilla]

haha... I said earlier in this thread that the car would come in the top 5. So who's eating their Words... *cough* snowman *cough*.

[PolishDoc]

wow man it does have hard competition, but i have fair in the almighty GTR!

That's until all these car manufactures realize that they are getting there arses kicked by GTR 35 and they will certainly come up with a more powerful version of there own !

Beat me to it... either way the time is still excellent and Clarksons review is reportedly "staggering" I'll just have to wait for the torrent to download, but im sure it'll be up on GTRblog soon anyhow.
