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.

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 *** then .. right know they should call it suicide instead of ccx

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!

Go Texas Longhorns!
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 could see one of the smug ****** 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.
