I still dont believe the horse beat the car LOL. I think it was rigged, and on top of that the guy just CONSTANTLY bashes American cars.../QUOTE]
Clarkson actually owns a Ford GT.
It's not just the curb weight. The Lotus was designed for road courses: the tires, the suspension setup, the motor weight, motor output, etc.
The Exige on the other hand may even take the GT in the 1/4.
a small, peaky engine isnt exactly the best for a road course .
and he's not that great of a driver. better than the other 2 yes, but that's not saying much.
You did not notice it, you picked up this concept from another forum. Be honest...
notice the trim, the wheels, the fog lights, and the grill mouth along w/ the ride height
ok...2 BIG problems with this one
1. it's a V6 conv., not the 300 hp 4.6 he says it is (many caught this)
2. the horse the guy is riding is NOT a mustang!! mustang were a breed that came from the indian and spanish horses being mixed and were not a solid color (movie Hidalgo has many great examples in it)
that guy is usually funny when he reviews cars but this time was just stupid
