obviously the gt2 was faster than the 560-4 and therefore faster than the scud as well.....clarkson just has a problem admitting it.....

Haha, Season 12 Episode 1. It just aired yesterday night in the UK. It's absolutely brand new.
Clarkson is a clever idiot. This episode was geared towards the Lambo, he basically teased you into coming back to find out what the GT2 did. I would guess they open the next episode with "complaints" about GT2, so a real review of it.

It's safe to say it beat the Scud and GTR and the Lambo. So below 1:19.5 is certain, the question is how much faster? If it's 1:19.0, thats the Enzo time.
Kudos to Porsche for creating a sexy beast.

The entire episode was absolutely hysterical. I'm thrilled that Top Gear is back .

I do agree that it's a bit frustrating that Clarkson wouldn't post the time.

New episode this Sunday, time was revealed to be EXACTLY the same as the LP560 ie a 1:19.5.
So GT2 and Lambo tied at 1.19.5, Scud and GTR tied at 1.19.7.

There was no video...just the mention of the time.

I do enjoy Top Gear, but Clarkson is definitely not a 997 fan.

Clarkson apologized in this week's episode. Also said the times were exactly the same.

As we all could tell he didn't take it seriously or maybe cause its faster and better lol! You defintilty could tell he hates 911! In the episode f430 vs. 911 turbo Richard Hammond made him test it! lol the GT2 is an amazing car! No matter what he says.
