Carrera 4 Beats Carrera 2 Round Rally Course On Top Gear

Wow what a great Top Gear show tonight. The Stig raced a Carrera 2 and then a Carrera 4 round a stadium rally circuit. The 4 was faster but the 2 was more enjoyable to control and nicer to drive. I wish they had used S models though.
Any one see it?

I've currently got a 4 and have had a 2 coupe and a 2 cab. I admit the 4 isn't as much fun to drive as the 2 but the extra traction the 4 gives in the wet and when turning sharp out of junctions is really noticeable.

For whatever reason I no longer get top gear. I can order "final gear" through on demand, but top gear is no longer aired that I hve been able to find. grrr... it's one of my all time favorite shows.

Welcome to the board! We are just a little bit jealous, they officially aired a few episodes of Top Gear here and then took it off the air. We have to download each 700MB episoide just to view it now! As far as the C4 vs C2 episode. I did not see it but I would think that it would be a given that a C4 would do better on a rally course.

Remember to post photos of your cars!

I think that it depends on who is driving the two cars. The C2 will be more fun to drive around the track, but for going from point A to point B, the C4 will take it all the time.
