1. Stig did a big powerslide at his TopGear lap with the SL65...
2. Hockenheim flying lap, TopGear standing start lap... always a big question how Stig take off with traction controlls off.
3. Track conditions..the Ford GT did no damp lap it was completely dry..

How does this beat the Ford GT at HockenHeim by 2s, yet it Looses on the Top gear Track in the Damp by 1.1s?

its not just its weight, 1, it has steel brakes, which carbon ceramics woulda ben a better choice,2, it has all that power, and not grippy eniff tyres, 3, its torque is too much, so all your gonna get i wheelspin.

Was just browing and thought with those amazing hp numbers how can this car be more than 20 seconds slower thatn the Nissan GTR at nurburgring????? Is the weight its own enemy.

Can not find a lap time on the auto motor und sport site.

The Sport Auto (7:51) time is here:

The 7:36 came from http://www.supercars.net/PitLane?viewThread=y&gID=3&fID=0&tID=10073

They did have a link to MotorSport Und Auto that no longer works..... if as I suspect thats the same as SportAuto we'll change the time to 7:51. The original referance checked out at the time but its not impossible it was wrong..... does anyone have a link to the 7:51 time just in case?

and would it be possible to add 0-150mph??

i think it ws a claim, and i dont believe that top gear time for a minute, if you saw the video, he didnt really push it, i think he was being biased toward it for being much more expensive than a sl350.
I think Zora and woody raise an interesting point. Where did that 7:36 come from? All the fetishizing and projectile spooging over this car on this board has been besed on that time. Why no source?

The nordschleife time that SportAuto clocked was a 7:51. So where does the 7:36 time come from? BS?

If this car is not very fast around a track and unliveable in daily life as Clarkson so subtly pointed out, what's its purpose?

The Nordschleife time came from a test by SportAuto in May this year.

where is the reference for that Nordschleife time? I serieously doubt that entry is correct

that was actually my guess, 1:23. handling is much more important. the reason the sv can get more of its power down is because it can brake later, exit earlier, and with 4wd, also exit quite a bit smoother. i dont get how im saying its power is a bad thing and somehow worse than the svs output.
1 year ago
yeah i didnt think it would do a 1:23.0. i thought it would havd done a 1:19.3, but when the Stig did that lap, he didnt seem to push it as he could, but i dont know i gues you gotta have alot of things to count for. but o wouldnt care if this did a 2:03.6 id still want the hell out of one:

and if yall noticed somthig weird about that lap? almost like he wasnt trying to go fast, or wasnt even trying at all.
1 year ago
why would you say that about its power when the SV has the same output?
1 year ago
well this kinda power is completely useless unless youve got a really long straight to strech its legs. even at the fastest part of the track with the follow through and tire wall in its way i doubt it even got a couple mph faster top speed than the high downforce ferrari.

Thats an imperial ton, most of the world uses the metric ton which is 2200lb (1000kg)
1 year ago
Ummm, this car IS 2 tons, last time i chacked 2 tons is 4000lbs, and since its 4114, id classify that as 2 tons. and they did keep the weight down it lost almost 400lbs, i do agree that they could possibly lost more weight, question is, how much? without sacrificing everyday driveability and comfort.
