Default Top Gear Season 13 ZR1

I dont think they have shown it yet but it is coming up soon i hope. If you look at the preview of seson 13 you will see it on the top gear test track with the new r8. I was just wondering were you guys might think it will show up on the Lap Board.

I'd say between 1.19.0 and 1.19.5 Hope it does even better though...

Here you can download the episodes for those of you that don't get BBC:

I am going to say sub 1:19.

I think it is really that good. The Murci has just a few more hp and weighs more and did it in 1:19 flat.

There are way to many variables to guess where it will place but it weighs ~3350

Ferrari FXX murdered the lap in the first episode (1.10.something) but that lap was thrown out because the car was on slicks but what a monster. That car looks like the batmobiled humped a star war tie fighter and that car is its offspring

MS is not the Stig. Also, 1:18 seems a bit fast for a rear wheel drive car (with weight to carry). Depending on Stig's mood he might spin the tires excessively on launch. All the 1:18 and quicker cars are way lighter than the zr1, except for the Veyron. I foresee a 1:19 time if the Stig keeps the tail sliding antics at a minimum.

Watch it again carefully, the first two ep. They threw a curve ball in there.

The ZR1's lap, will be a wet lap.

Clarkson loves the ZR1 to much to let it be a wet lap i think. He would wait for the track to dry before they run it. He did that for the DBS one time.

Track is dry. I have the episode in HD on my hard drive. Just looked and I see tire smoke when it's alongside the Audi.

I agree, the track appears to be dry. I just looked at the episode again.

They don't always test the cars on the same day as the film review. Many episodes they will have Clarkson driving around in say, a black lambo in the dry, and the stig will end up driving a green one in the wet.
