It's on one of either one of JC's or Top Gear Challenges DVD's. Can't remember which one as my son has squirreled them away in his room to watch on his 360.

That was interesting to watch and really shows how quick our cars are. Correct me if i'm wrong but they did a 1/4 mile race between a Ferrari Enzo, Ford GT, Ascari and a Lambo. There quater times were as follows:

1st Ferrari Enzo 11.87 1/4
2nd Ford GT 12.05 1/4
3rd Ascari 12.65 1/4
4th Lambo 12.95 1/4

Some of our boys are quicker than 3rd and 4th already. So well done guysclap

Never seen that vid before was great to watch it sliding around, surprising the speeds he can keep it going sideways at!

Wasnt much time difference between the cars on the 1/4mile, thought the gallardo would have been much further behind than what it was!

story goes mind you that the Stig had actually bought himself a red Monaro a couple of years back.. could that have been the one he had?

Just wanted to bump this up, spoke to the owner today - he seemed quite pleased that the stig drove (abused?) his car!

Hi Everyone,

That is where i learned of the cars history by one of the monkfish guys (sorry cant remember your name). Just to prove that she is mine here is a picky....

Cheers Dan
