Thanks for posting this in the other thread... not one I have seen before.

Hardly a fail and even less after the owner of the car commented on the video.

Guys, this is my GTR, and I was there when he made a DVD, and trust me, he loved it!! But a script is a script ) It came 2nd best of thrills, after CLK Black, which HE owns ) On a track it beat Superleggera, Scuderia, 560 LP4.. and only a SLR 722 GT was quicker around the track!!I still love GTR, he still loves GTR, but now my warranty is voided ) He is though a very good presenter )

I actually like the GTR but have to agree... there is too much technology. We aren't in the minority report... we should be driving the car, not the car driving us.

GTR is amazing, but shame on you for comparing it to a Zonda

In fairness, the GT3RS listed is a 996 GT3RS, Top Gear never put the 997 RS on their test track. The 997 GT3RS is considerably quicker, especially in the high speed turns, which the Top Gear test track is full of, so the times would be much more comparable.
