Another strage thing, the Fiat has a 1.6 and isn't that light, the EVO has a 2.0 Turbo. So even with the turbo lag, shouldn't the 2.0 outrun the 1.6. And it's not like it takes so long for any car to get into the good rev range... This is fake for sure! You can argue about the Murci vs EVO but this is just impossible.
i think it's also to do with the gear ratio's
the fiat woulden't drive more then say 75miles an hour.
the evo is capeable of 135miles? the evo is equiped with short close ratio's for blistering acceleration (maybee it has been made more wider for the version with 400bhp) and the final ratio is designed for cruzing im guessing.

anyway, i think that a massive fucking turbo that the gearbox has been adjusted for is basicley the main cause..

and i also think it was a stupid point to make, i dien't see clarkson reverseparking a enzo..
