I have it. First ep of 5th gear that I went and downloaded. Waste of my ratio... It's tres boring.

The first time I saw Top Gear I was all "cool beans" or laughing at their shit. But after watching this Fifth Gear, I felt like I needed an insulin shot. Nothing can come near Clarkson, Hammond and May.

EDIT: found it on mininova - http://www.mininova.org/tor/2666994

I still doubt a 996 C2S is faster than an R8, I clearly have a thing for porsches and despise the R8, but no way a 320? hp Porsche can beat a 420hp mid engined R8, now a 997 C2S is more like it, but even then http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NS4qGAfdArU

i know r8 is a nice car but something is missing...

is it supposed to be an exotic car? I mean the front looks like something is missing and the whole car is still sort of incomplete compare to Ferrari, Lambo, Pagani...etc.

^it's off of his supercar showdown DVD it's got tons of nice cars in it. Very well done.

^^lol timpo needs bodykits!!! but I really hate the front of the R8 not so much from the front, but from the side, the car just looks horribly proportioned headlights are too low, and the roof and back end is too high in comparison,

^yup but doesn't a C2S have like 380 HP? so it's probably got a better power-weight cos the R8 is quite heavy.

But the Death2Theft says that an old C2S can beat an R8 which I highly doubt.

Well it's the c2 in the video and to me all porsches look the same with the exception of the GT. So old new whatever as clarkson put it, still a bug.

I think it sound pretty decent stock , but the aftermarket ones sound awesome.
