Sorry if a repost, I did a quick search and didn't find anything. Race is at the end.
Did the Stig bog the FQ? Because it shoulda smoked the VXR off the line.

 

It wouldn't suprise me if he did. If I remember it right I'm pretty sure Clarkson mentions how easy it is to stall out the FQ400 when he was doing his review of it a few seasons back.

 

awesome vid!

 

Thanks!

 

someone show the FQ driver how to launch...

 

nice vid

 

+1... The Stig let all of us down with that launch. I expect more from the tamed racing driver. My guess is that the big sluggish V8 needed as much of a head start as possible. I would rather power-slide in the Evo anyday. The should have had Rhys Millen driving instead of Clarkson on that one.

 

+1

 

I think its pretty obvious the stig wasnt even trying. Even if he bogged the launch, the vxr wouldn't have put bus lengths on him while spinning all the way through first. the stig just gave him a head start to emphasize the point they were trying to make in the piece.

 

nice vid! i know this may be a stupid question, but i remembering seeing that car in NFS hot pursuit 2, why does it resemble a pontiac GTO by like more than 90%?

 

Bacause it's the same car as the gto

 

It is a GTO, or rather, the GTO is this car. It's originally a Holden Monaro.
Right here: http://www.dieselstation.com/wallpap...Monaro-002.jpg

The Holden Monaro is the Aussie one.
The Vauxhall Monaro is the British one.
The Pontiac GTO is the American one.

Personally, I like the front end of the Holden the most, the VZ front end. =)

 

it's nice to see FQ 400 in the comparison test with big motors, thanks for the posting, I never knew top gear had this comparison.

Now, is there any other test between FQ400 and other cars? (besides Lambo and vxr)

Yup, this is versus the mighty Noble M400.
