So why don't we put stig in the m5 and clarkson in the 430 and then let's do the test when it's not wet since the traction control of the m5 (not MDM) is way too intrusive, i am sure more than the one on the f430 and things may be more interesting. Not implying that the m5 is faster than the 430...maybe stig is faster than jeremy...

Yeah! THAT way, the F430 would only win by 100 yards...

That video is in Jeremy Clarkson's Heaven and Hell DVD. I realised that he wasn't using manual shifting, he was using D mode and I'm sure he isn't aware of MDM mode. So that wasn't a fair race at all. If only Dorkson is a bit smarter than he really thinks he is .

Clarkson $ucks, he should give his job up to Tiff who is THE MAN! Bring Tiff Needel back please....and rename the program 7th Gear....HAHAHA!

Wait, wasn't he complaining about D mode somewhere else?

ROFL hahahahahhaahahahahah thats good Tiff is better driver than Jeremy.
BUt jeremy is good driver also. There is one more drag between Mitsubishi Evo IX FQ 340 and Vauxhall Monaro something like that crap.

He made a better drag than the stig's with rwd crap vauxhall than the awd evo fq 34 but evo passed it afterward tracktime

BTW also F430 has the crappy Bridgestones and also i want to add the new M5 lap time is 1.26.2 something with Stig driver and F430 has 1.22.9 (with crappy Bridgestones. F test driver and stig told JEremy that with Pzeros it should have been 0.5 sec or around better )

In my oppinion the result will not change with tiff on the m5 but also Pzero Rosso's on F430. At the last parts of the straight line F430 was ahead about 8-9 cars something like that if Tiff drives M5 and F430 with Rossos it will become same maybe 7-8 car. Really F430 accelerates too fast and so good at time tracks

Just_me

I also believe a F430 is a faster car than M5 but the straightline race in the beginning of this video made no justice at all.
Also, Jeremy can drive a car but nowhere close to Tiff and the Stig.

F430 shouldnt worry about the M5, the upcoming 997TT is a bigger threat for the Ferrari.

However, I have seen an epsiode almost dedicated to the M5, where he hates the M5 untill he finds the"M" button and is overwhelmed.

They conclude the episode with the following quote from JC infront of the Studio audience:

" This is better than a Ferrari F430. And at one third the price"

Yes bro but i heard some news about new TT
Its just 450hp and 305kmh same performance as the 996 Turbo S. 3.6 liter will not improved to 3.8 liter. Same 3.6 liter and 450 hp. Different shape but two new things. Porsche improved the drivertain and also awd system also new tiptronic.

Turbo S will be around 500hp
Thats where CAR magazine and some web pages says.
I dont think the Tiptronic types of TT will threat becaus porsche tiptronic really suxxx. Cauz i know from my 996 4S. But 997 TT S manuel can be very good as like Gallardo SE and F430.

Here is an example for the Porsche Tiptronic sux

996 TT Manuel : 0-100kmh: 4.2 V-max 305 80-120kmh:4.9
996 TT Tiptronic: 0-100kmh:4.9 V-max:298 80-120kmh:5.6


997 Carrera S Manuel: 0-100kmh:4.8 0-160kmh:10.7 V-max:293
997 Carrera S Tiptronic 0-100kmh:5.3 0-160kmh:11.6 V-max:285

997 C4S Manuel: 0-100kmh:4.8 0-160kmh:10.8 Vmax:288
997 C4S Tiptronic: 0-100kmh:5.3 0-160:11.8 Vmax:280



Also 997 Carrera S 80-120: 6.1(manuel) 6.2(Tiptronic)
Also 997 4S 80-120: 6.2(manuel) 6.3(Tiptronic)



Here is you see a new manuel 997 Carrera S is nearly same performance as the 996 TT tiptronic. And you see the difference between Porsches manuel and tiptronic

I get a data about new TT with manuel will be 0-100 aroun 4.0 and top speed 305kmh (nearly same as 996 TT but i think is will be same performance like the 996 TT S) In my oppninion the New 997 TT with tiptronic can be aroun 0-100 4.5 and V max: 302 kmh So need to panic for the new 997 TTfor M5 hehehe
But CAR said at 2009 new E63 AMG will be aroun 6300cc V8 biturbo 571hp and /gtronic. If it is true its like a crazy horse
