    The best I have seen by far: None of that stand-up comedy scrip, no clichés, no superficial contect for the masses, no show-man presenters, etc. It was sincere, informative and very driver oriented.... simply brilliant job!

    Awe come, no standup comedy? How about the rancid morning bottom quip about the ventilated seats?

    Actually I enjoyed the clip--wish Porsche had gotten around to the PDK a bit quicker so my Club Coupe could have had it instead of the Tiptonic, but that's life.

    Well, since you mention it, in view of the subject of the remark that was strictly speaking sit-down comedy.

    How do you make jokes about a colorless, emotionless but efficient car? He had nothing to work with.

    I know that ou still have a hard time grasping this, but thats precisely the beauty of it, the car "is no joke"

    That sounds more like the description I've been reading in so many test reports on the GTR than on any 911?

    It also what Top Gear thought of the GTR in last night's show when they raced a bullet train across Japan.

    I saw the show just before making my above post last night and it was, in fact, hearing Clarkson's comments to this effect that reminded me that I had read so many similar views in magazine reports.

    My neighbour sold his GT-R for a 997 Turbo. He found the car could go as fast as you want, but there was no involvement.
