Rep Power: 0  |  Stig and SLR vs. Carrera GT Which one do you think gets the better time?. We all know that SLR time was 1,20,.. so what will be the Carreras time. My guess is that GT beats that merc pretty clearly and droves 1,18,.. time. |

Rep Power: 21  | CGT @ 1:18.8 is my guess...  Easily faster than anything else on the show (short of a Radical perhaps) -Prince |

Rep Power: 0 | hmm... I thouht that everyone here has already watched the last week TG and knows the time what SLR made. And as you can see Carrera GTs time is just guessing, that will it be faster than SLR. So this thread really doesn't spoil anything, I think . |

Car: 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX STI (USDM) LFS Status: Rep Power: 35 | 1:18.8 is a pretty specific guess, I thought that was the time it had actually set, my bad. |

Rep Power: 0 | not sure how legitimate that picture is. But i would think it would be slower then the SLR, i thought the SLR was lighter then the carrera GT and the SLR i thought had more bhp and torque which the picture i think confirms... i guess time will tell |

Rep Power: 0  | The answer is in June's Top Gear Magazine. I saw scans of it which was linked from this forum. Carrera bet the SLR. I have to agree on the Koenigsegg though. I love that car it it should be done again. So should the MG SV. The 3rd GEAR WAS NOT WORKING! IT SHOULD BEAT THE DAMN 911 GT3!!! DAMN!!!!

Rep Power: 21 | The CGT is a true 100% sports car. Mercedes has gotten too soft recently. Hell, their CLK-GTRs have auto-transmissions. If the CGT didn't win, I think we'd all know something was up. I think the only reason the SLR did so well was b/c of it's brakes, it's 600+HP and the fact that McLaren tuned it. Besides that, it's a standard Merc...way too heavy. -Prince |
