    Why hasn't the Stig driven the DB9 around the track?

    They've featured the car, what, 3 times on the show already (including this week's Volante)?

    I think JC said something like "it set off 3 weeks before it finished"

    That was probably the Vanquish.

    in the ep when JC was putting times on the power lap board for the 575 and the vanquish, he also told the time of the DB9 which is around 1:27 mark.

    nah that was the vanquish, he went out in the vanquish on the wettest day of the year and flew off the circuit. If you watch the episode with the Vanquish S and the Ferrari 575 GTC they said that the db9 got exactly the same time as the Vanquish S because the gearbox in the vanquish is so shocking

    Like Thantos said, the episode when they were putting the 575 and Vanquish S around the track, he gave the time for the DB9 and it was exactly the same as the Vanquish S.
