Re: Latest Top Gear episode talk

yep that CCX time is really good.. but then again not extremely god thinking about the fact that the car has 800HP.. thats like 200HP more than the zonda..
and lord knows if pagani made a 800hp car it would be faster than 0.8s compared to the Zonda F..

the track isnt big so using all 800hp wont work. Improving a lap several seconds when you already down to 1.20 min is almost impossible. With 800hp Im pretty sure the Zonda wouldnt smash the CCX by several seconds.

Has the SLK55 ever been driven around the track?

Re: Latest Top Gear episode talk

no a zonda with 800hp wont do that..but a new car by pagani with 800hp would be alot better..
like they said on top gear.. the car is a compromise.. put the wing on and it cant do the top speed that they are so proud off.. and take it off and it might kill you...

PS
the s class test was amazing.. he loved it..and it was filmed so nicely..

You just have to be patient, because someone will eventually upload it. Here you go

that track isnt about high speed, doesnt matter if the CCR has 800 or 600 hp, it would do the same laptime anyway.
