    Mmmmmmm I saw it on Top gear. Am still drooling too LOL. Would not be surprised if There is a "track spec" HSV with this engine fitted. In 1997 everyone was drooling over the C4B Callaway 300kw gen3. Perhaps thats why they don't run current production engines in V8 supercars? Ford is Sh1tting themselves hahaha

    Slow reation by the emergency crews. If the driver got stuck he'd be toast. I was waiting for it to explode
    That the automobile has practically reached the limit of its development is suggested by the fact that during the past year no improvements of a radical nature have been introduced.

    Wicked!

    I love Top Gear - my favourite TV show ever. I just wish they'd bring it back on SBS! Either that or I'm gonna have to get cable...

    That guy is a cunny funt, the way he describes and criticises different cars kills me! And yes, he does have the best job in the world...

    Heard a rumour....... might be moved to ABC. Not sure how real it is though. If you have a decent b/band connection and spare quota, newer eps are available off BT as soon as they are aired. Looks like they are taking a break for a month or so while the World Cup is on though.

    I'd be pissed if I was that driver they took way to long to get there to put out the fire. And the guys filming it were tools.
