Top Gear and Google Video

Fans of the Iconic British TV show Top Gear can find any of the episodes on-line via Google.

My favorite is this one where Jeremy drives an NSX on Laguna Seca on a PlayStation and GT-4 and then drives a real NSX on the real track. On the game he does 1:41 and does 1:57 in the real car. A relatively stock E30 M3 does 1:48 and an E36 M3 at the same level of prep does 1:41 with me behind the wheel.

I wish they had let the "instructor" do a couple of laps to see whet the car is capable of.

Hello ##NAME##, This is the first time I've seen your blog - pretty cool. Power, speed and roadholding are my main interest which is why I was looking for ##LINK##, but it was good to see your blog. Keep blogging!

Hi, ##NAME##, there's a lot of stuff around on the internet, and I was looking for McLaren F1s when I saw your blog. Neat and interesting. Refreshing, too. I'm a bit of a fast car fanatic - have been for years. Good blogging! John ##LINK##.

1:57 in an NSX is kinda slow. I did 2:00 flat in an '87 535is (boxy four door sedan) with sticky tires, big brakes and a chip.
