Fifth Gear 458 vs MP4 tonight
Discussion
Just wondered who's gonna be watching Tiff and JP argue over the 458 and MP4 tonight on Fifth Gear at 19:30?
They have a teaser on their website: http://fwd.channel5.com/fifth-gear/videos/other/mc...
Anyone know when Clarkson is driving it?

Got this on record tonight. Hoping the 458 is shown to be top dog BY the top dogs Plato and Tiff.
Did I mention the time I interviewed them at the Autosport this year?
They are really funny guys as well as being real pros
I'd like to see the plucky Brit Mclaren prevail. I really, really do not care for the Ferrari image and brand. Did I mention the time I interviewed them at the Autosport this year?

I mea within seconds of the review ending LOL.
s off any mclaren fans!IMI A said:
Fezza absolutely smashed the Macca on all the emotional KPIs and performance KPIs. Of course it should do with its own pit crew and secretly uprated engine lol. I want to buy that press car!!
If you read the reviews in EVO and CAR, it seems McLaren are doing these tests with twice as many pit crew as Ferrari. They also have a technical development centre at the Top Gear track where this was obviously filmed. Even a home field advantage and fully-equipped workshop couldn't help them.Didn't Top Gear magazine also write something a few issues ago about McLaren having more pit crew than any other manufacturer when they tested the car the first time?
That's just about put the nail in the coffin of any residual interest I had in the MP4.
That looked truly shocking on the limit, if you are capable of driving a car over the limit without the nanning driver aids as those guys clearly are, for the car to bite back trying to save itself in that manor is very odd behaviour indeed. As a driver you want predictable on the limit handling leaving you master of your own fate. That was plain scary to think of the consequences of the car doing that whilst sideways on the road.
I was immediately sceptical when the specs of the car were revealed never having been a fan of turbocharged engines other than in a diesel with proper auto box, what with there lack of immediacy combined with a bulging torque delivery never making good bed fellows in a true drivers car, then to double whammy the thing with no proper limited slip diff, oh dear oh dear, what a shame.......
