holy sh*t, that is an unholy fast time, esp. with run flats. wth, imagine the car with better tires? as it stands it's only 3 secs slower than the CGT, and it's running right alongside the 360cs and gt3 rs.

We don't get them in North America... you have to DL.

I get the episodes from usenet, and the message headers from newzbin.com.
Which newsgroup are these posted in? I pay for access to a better news server, so I would like to find these episodes.

BTW,,, I have never understood what is so interesting about Top Gear's lap times. Half of those times were recorded in rain or wet course conditions. How can you compare them to other times recorded dry? To me that makes their entire time list meaningless.

It seems like if you knew which ones were in the rain and which weren't you could compare the ones that were in the same condition. It is usually fairly obvious. When the SRT-10 is 7 secs slower then Z06 it's pretty obvious it was run in the wet.
