He was awfuly close yea, was also thinking about it when watching..
Other than that... the segment about horsepower loss was very interesting. Simple, to the point, relevant. I wouldnt mind if it was longer and gave also some info on loss regarding measuring on the flywheel (crackshaft or what is it? ) or on the wheels directly and whether/how time affects it.
In general compared to the stupid previous ep. with that r8 vs. maserati vs... test, it was much better.
