    Default VXR8 - topgear

    just watched the vaxhaul VXR8 on top gear. it absolutly kicked butt in the drag race and performed better around corners then the current BMW 5 series and other luxury european car brands another good review from Jeremy Clarkson can only be a good thing

    was this the one with the traction control gag? lol, i loved that

    "oh it must be a bloody pom driving, his turned the traction control on. my sheela can take corners faster then this. poofta, poofta, poofta."

    goes without saying it was said in a stong aussie accent.

    Did you listen to the specs on the other cars though?
    The other cars were in the same price bracket so they were only 6 cyl, not 8, it would be just plain embarrassing if the others were quicker.
    Its good to see the poms not bag it out totally though and did mention the good points and the bad.

    Theres another Vid, 4 cars dragging, and the VXR8 comes last.

    After seeing it perform in that Vid you posted, the other one i saw was obviously staged.
