Xantium 05-09-2006 05:10 PM

It's just a matter of time until top gear finally gets an srt-4. Heelllooo lap record!

rodrigo67 05-09-2006 05:35 PM

I just saw the whole episode, very funny, I loved thier "convertable"...They never told you how much the damage bill was for the Konig.

therm8 05-09-2006 05:38 PM

That thing looks nearly impossible to drive well.

Glyphon 05-09-2006 05:44 PM

power is nothing without control. and that thing has very little control. in its current state, i wouldn't want it.

I think they did. They said it took little damage and it cost less than a stick of gum :)

that is a crazy car.

Romancer 05-09-2006 08:45 PM

:rofl:...and I thought the Rx8 was bad without DCS.

lesper4 05-09-2006 09:48 PM

WOW and OH MY too bad but so nice!!! and funny. My questions is can you buy after market lambo (Koenigsegg) doors that go up like that? They are more of a piveit vertical door then a swing hinge type.

Rx-A-Ho 05-09-2006 09:50 PM

I have to go change my pants.....

They're not Lambo doors, and, I hope to God that you can't get them for other cars. It's lame enough seeing people with scissor doors.

dupa12345 05-09-2006 10:02 PM

another FANTASTIC show .. ohh man i laughed and clintched my teeth the entire hour .. top gear is absolutely superb

for those of you that havent seen the whole thing .. they'll have another go .. later with some downforce .. that car should be pretty bad ass then .. right know they should call it suicide instead of ccx

takahashi 05-09-2006 10:19 PM

Yeah, download the Winter Olympics episode and watch it front and back ....

very funnuy

takahashi 05-09-2006 10:20 PM

Oh I just saw Stiggy crash!!!! :eek:

Slap oversteer... bad move stiggy :nono:

roywhitep5 05-09-2006 10:42 PM

if you can afford a koenigsegg, chances are you dont have enough skill to drive one at 250 mph so might as well just put a big wing on it

mike1324a 05-09-2006 10:42 PM

The stig said 4 seconds faster with a rear wing. That would put it in the 1.16 range.... that would be impressive. Koenigsegg said they were putting an wing and bringing it back, i cant wait to see that!

again the crew and koeningeonieogkoenineokoneogngkoseg agreed the car needs downforce .. and they'll have another go once thats added

brillo 05-09-2006 11:40 PM

that was a funny video for sure, but what it tells me is there really is such a thing as to much power. The balance of the car is all over the map as a result of the driver having to tame the power.

I'd like to own one of those just to make all of the smug STI and EVO owners i see wet their pants in fear.

Why not just get a Z06?

While i agree that the Z06 is a potent auto, it can't match what those Swesds did when they designed the CCX.

I could see one of the smug pricks i'm talking about dismissing a Z06 out of arrogance or ignorance, or the ability to give it a respectable run on the track.

Something about the CCX seems intimidate, and somehow, i thing it might intimidate even the smuggest of the smug.

I think you're delusional... I and all the STI and Evo owners I know would hardly be intimidated, we'd just be happy to see and hear an incredible car like the CCX. You on the otherhand would seemingly be the douchbag smug owner of a CCX with something to prove. :lol2:
