Oct 25, 2008 - HAHAHAHA dude yur a fuckin idiot a skyline pulls 1.2 g's cornering at 60 and im pretty sure thats wayyyyyyyyyy better than an early 80's 911 and that minivan would beat any top fuel drag car in a quarter with a jet engine but then again so would any other vehicle but i wasnt talkin about a gay minivan with a jet engine i was talkin about a skyline with a totally new engine,transmission and everything. they dont make r33's and r34's anymore but nissan still makes the RB26DETT powertrain.

Oct 29, 2008 - american muscle cars dont suck,they're lots of fun and so is drag racing in a straight line.the thing is,is that american cars are not sophisticated or good with corners and not much technology.just kind of thrown together compared 2 euro cars,yes.

Oct 30, 2008 - hahahahaha!!! clarkson always stretches his face everytime he drives an open wheel car! why don't he use the stig's helmet instead!?

julianleeho Says:

Oct 30, 2008 - well i must admit, dragracing is fun! and yes... but come on, cornering in high speeds are a lot of fun! just cant get that in a muscle car, i just hope future muscle cars will be like the corvette(goood handling)

Oct 31, 2008 - Look at Nurburgring times... Corvette ZR1: 7:22.4 or 7:26.4 (which is more credible) MC12: 7:24.3 Looks pretty close for a car that you are so quick to talk shit about. Maybe you should think about how the thing performs before you start insulting it like an ignorant fool. If you want to talk about luxury or reliability, it is a whole different story but you have absolutely no case insulting a corvette on performance.

Nov 1, 2008 - ohh no... I've gotta wait till the end of the show?? Where is the end of the show anyways?

dmc1200 Says:

Nov 2, 2008 - It did a 1:18.90

hablasdemi Says:

Nov 3, 2008 - dont be such an ignorant. I dont really believe that time but anyway if its true it is due to the conditions of nurburgring. It is a very old track with millions of bumps and because the mc12 has another type of suspension that is why it is slower. Silverstone 1 46 mc12; 1 57.2 corvette

shbycbra427 Says:

Nov 3, 2008 - Ok that works I guess. It doesn't justify talking shit about a corvette though which is what I was responding to. It is still a fact that only a retard would hold a Corvette to the same standard as a Maserati MC12.

hablasdemi Says:

Nov 3, 2008 - I agree with you but because I didnt read the other comments I thought you were actually saying that the corvette was as fast as an enzo or mc12

shbycbra427 Says:

Nov 4, 2008 - Nah, I just hate how the corvette zr1 exceeds what is expected of a car on its class so then it is somehow expected to measure up to something like an mc12 or ccgt or veyron. Its just really juvenile is all.

inkis12 Says:

Nov 4, 2008 - I just hate the back part of this car!

Nov 6, 2008 - who else thinks Jeremy's a tit...?

KLevents Says:

Nov 6, 2008 - I love the scene at 1:18 where he's coming up the hill. The music fits perfect and this is a fantastic old racing car. I could drive it in the countryside near our village here. ;) Does someone has got an idea how I can earn a million pounds quick? :D at the end I must say, the MC12 is boring and ugly somehow.

thelaughinggooner Says:

Nov 8, 2008 - Of course he's a tit. He's a pompous arrogant buffoon. But he is also one of the main driving forces behind the brilliance that is top gear. And his 'titish' qualities are in an almost pantomime way.

lunchboxaro Says:

Nov 12, 2008 - WHY O WHY did he just kill that car i could have bought of him totaly pointless

LILARAB131292 Says:

fitzmorris Says:

Nov 22, 2008 - judging by your comment im guessing someone idolizes said clarkson :-)!

xcalyba Says:

Nov 22, 2008 - Or he could have simply donated it to some of us underprivelaged enthusiasts...or gave it a way as prize....but why kill it.
