Clarkson always gets pwned by the Stig.

Then he tries to say, "I'm having more fun." as a rationalization.

im pretty sure the evo went slow in the beginning on purpose as to show that it can easily pass the GTO even on the first turn.

It looks like the stig was playing with Jermey and let him get the jump as he was so confident to killing him, which he did.

It definitely does not have a GT35R. If it did it would be called the FQ600 or something like that.

well with everything said about that clutch..I think you have to be a PURE MASTER (and the STig is no Cart racer) at Launching the FQ400.

Reading on LANCER REGISTRY, the guys that own them there say its a P.I.T.A to get it off the line for its Claimed "SUper Fast 0-60=___"<---can't remember what it does.

Awesome Video though

I believe it has some form of GT30R turbo Turbo with a boat load of lag. I bet some U.S. Tuning along with a better FMIC and a cat removal could not only get another 50-100WHP from that FQ, you would have faster spool too.
