We dont know the time. Jeremy burnt the paper with the time on and one presumes he did so because it beat the Lambos time.

Just watched it. He sure has a lot of smack to talk about the GT2

Someone should let him in on a little secret: the GT2 wasn't built for straightline speed lol. Anyone know what the Stig ran with the GT2?

It did beat the Lambo

It's a known fact that Clarkson is a P car hater... always has been... guy was in a pile of **** last week... with comment on air... "truck drivers picking up prostitutes and killing them"

They mentioned people being upset about him burning the time during this week's show. During the discussion, Jeremy said that it actually ran the exact same time as the Gallardo.

That show makes me laugh my *** off! The old lady/child/dog driving cracked me up.

I'm sure the GT2 beat the LP560-4 but it doesn't come close to the sound of that thing. WOW! Gives me goosebumps.

One thing I've noticed at the track though. Tons and tons of Porsches zipping around and yet I almost NEVER see Lambo's out there being trashed. Is it a poor track car because it's too fragile, too expensive to maintain, or the owners all also have a throw-away Porsche they bring to the track instead?

Guys, it is no big deal. Clarkson loves Lambo's and Ferrari's, and hates porsches because the midget loves them and usually spanks him with them.

If you wanna check out your car in the garage, then the best one to get is Clarksons choice. However, if you wanna drive....P-car all the way.

No one can deny that Lambo coupes aren't beauties though. You drive down the street in one and you get tons of looks, just like a ferrari and even a viper coupe. Porsches don't get as many looks except by true sports car afficionados who know their capabilities. I kinda like the stealth factor, since I am not into bling and hence why I would never own a lambo. But I do like Lambo's they look great and sound awesome and from what I hear, ever since audi took them over their reliability has improved which is important these days if you wanna drive

Just saw it again last night and laughed thru the whole thing.

The old lady and dog bit gets me every time.

BTW to the above guy's comment.

I still don't get why people think the Lambo is such a beauty.

The lines are just too sharp with way too many flat panels.

A GT2 is just way more sensual, like the curves of a woman's body.

Now if you were comparing an Audi RS8 then we might have a

discussion.

Yeah,
That was a funny show; especially the Lambo is easy to drive even for a kid and dog. The Lambo beated the GT2 on straight line, but I'm almost positive the GT2 beated the Lambo on the ring by the way they talked.
