Nice.

i'm tempted to be that asshole and screw w/ someone's radio, what a prank.

DAMN! i want a rex so bad now. Ken Block approaching James May, not in a straight line.

i love that freaking show!

 

[Falango]

Third episode wasn't as good as the first two imo. Best part of the third was the Ken Block segment.

 

[kendon]

nowhere near the same level of entertainment the first two episodes had, but still enjoyable. i'm wondering what Ken Block will do at their track. Hopefully they make him do a lap in the Chevy.

 

[Falango]

Would be cool if they flew him out to their studio. I kind of doubt it though since James went overseas, not Ken.

 

[kendon]

after the Ken segment, Jeremy said that he was coming to their studio.

 

[Falango]

I must have missed that then!! If it happens, I can't wait!!! Ken would do whatever he could to try and slide that Liana around, haha. He won't stay on the pavement, guaranteed.

I actually thought the McLaren would win because it's 1500lbs lighter, and it's such a simple car compared to the techno computerized Veyron. I wasn't surprised to see the McLaren pull at the start because of the weight. I figured the McLaren would have the advantage aerodynamically too, but 1001hp prevailed, but not by much.
!

Lets see 4 turbo's, 4 extra cylinders, 400 extra hp and only 12 difference in top speed....

And as they said the race proved that the Bugatti can beat a Mclaren in a straight line....which essentially proved nothing =)

I want to see someone roll the effin thing!!!

Dude took out a camera in episode 1 and the guy in 3 got it up on 2 wheels....so close!!!

Leno is the star in the car this week. It's on his garage website already, so I would imagine it should be pretty good.

 

[Falango]

Very interested to see his lap around the track! That guy has one hell of a car collection!

He owns a McLaren F1!!!!!

I bet his lap will be pretty darn good (guitar)

 

[Falango]

I actually don't really know what kind of driver he is. He owns tons of cars, but can he drive them? I would assume he is a pretty good driver, so I would predict a top 10 time.

 

[judman13]

I figure will all the cars he owns and money he has that he would at least be a above par driver.

 

[Falango]

So there was no Jay Leno, but it was still a pretty good episode. Who would think a piece of paper was faster than a Porsche?

OMG THAT POOR EVO!!!!!!

Sad day....

It wasn't really the paper....it was the 4 300-400 mph airplanes and the two ferries that beat the Porsche lol

But I like the Renault for real!!! Bad little effin track car for sure!! Boost if for 300 HP and then take it against the RS lol

 

[Falango]

Ya that Megane was pretty awesome. Definately something that I'm sure has potential to be a track monster. On the track, it showed the Focus that power isn't everything.

Anyone else think the Panamera is just hideous? That car looks like it's waiting to take a dump with that goofy rear.

Works on the 911, not on the 4-door.

 

[Falango]

I'm not a fan of it's looks either. I am glad Porsche FINALLY got away from the same look they have on every single damn car, but now that I think of it, that look would have atleast worked somewhat better than it does now. Maybe that's why all their cars look the same. They are afraid they will make something look like the Panamera......
