Well to be honest we have said the GT is large, and given its based on the QP you can see why.
Trying to make it handle like a racing car is a real feet...well done, but its at GT and if they want a smaller, faster, coupe then they can always make the 4200/GS again!

yep its gone downhill over the last few series. The india special was a good example of where they have gone wrong. Too much focus on so called adventures, with fake scenarios, pre rehearsed gags etc etc
It was good when it seemed more spontaneous, natural, and the banter between the 3 presenters seemed more genuine.
Now they just keep re-rolling the same cr*p again and again, as they have decided that a winning formula needs no improvement or adjustment.

The AMG may have had a faster lap time but how could you drive it on the road with all that smoke and oversteer? Looks good on the show with a wide runway but you clip a kerb and you'll be upside down before you know it.
JC does have talk some BS, DCT clutch, either RACE or auto (for the shops). With 480bhp I'm sure you could still get to the shops in auto. I wonder if he had that problem I had back at that JCT event where I didn't realise pressing the AUTO button made it go into manual mode?

I noticed that girl too, then started to compare her with a similar looking girl over JC's right shoulder. The first girl won..
As for the comparison.
It goes to show that JC is the Merc is useless in a car, as he couldn't keep up with a car that , in proper hands, could go two seconds faster round the track. Anyway who drives in Auto? Not me!
SAAB story was good, made me wish I was an Architect...

I agree, the merc was a glorified smoke machine, 4 laps on rear tyres, who the heck wants to drive a rubber wasting thing with a bat wing on the boot with a back breaking suspension. Overall I think the Masser came out fast, refined and comfortable, just as we thought it would and it was close to the lap time of the F430. The girl was also very noticeable and should be asked on again, I think we all agree on that?
