Also, which is faster in a race - a kid on a skateboard or a turbocharged rally car? Geri Halliwell is this week's Star in a Reasonably Priced Car.

images/smilies/eek.gif This could be the best episode ever! I especially love their shootouts between older and newer models of cars... but a shootout between old and new supercars? This is going to be the best episode ever! images/smilies/biggrin.gif

I'm guessing close to the CGT but a tad slower. The CGT proved to be faster in corners on tight tracks so.. we'll see if there's enough straights to let it win or not

I hope they take the F-40 around the track.

I'm guessing a time of 1:22.4 8) (for the F-40)

1:19.6 for the Enzo

I can't wait for this coming review, it should be fantastic! images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

Also are the older supercars the McLaren F1 and F40 since they were in the trailer?

I think the Maclaren is still a "newer" supercar (cause it's still the best).

I want to see the Testarossa as well.

I'd love to see the F-40 and TR as well. I don't think the Enzo will beat the Carrera GT, though. I personally think it will be like 0.1-0.5 of a second slower
