The bit jeremy did on old supercars was quite enlightening. WIth all the buzz concerning the carrera GT's 208mph apex and the Enzo's 210mph IIRC, I had simply forgotten the specs of the old super cars.

Stuff such as that the Mclaren F1 had a top speed of 241mph Q) and that the Ferrar F40 had a 0-60 of 3.2seconds...


Oh my.....I nearly lost it......expecially when the old jaguar XJ flew past the Carrera GT in a drag race, while having an engine half its size

I was a kid when they built the 959 and for a while it was my dream to just drive one. Reality has since set in.

That twin-turbo V6 in the XJ220 is nutz! I can't believe how it slaughtered that V12!

Than again, the F40 uses a twin-turbo V8.

The F40 Turbo lag comment was hilarious.."Hey Honey, look, we are keeping up with a Ferrari. Honey, look, it is a Ferrar.....where did it go?"

LOL

It was the Zonda but oh my dear, that was one of the best episodes EVER! They've should taken the McLaren F1, Ferrari F40 and the Jag XJ220 around the track!
