Default TOP GEAR & KOENINGSEGG

Does anyone know if a tv show or magazina tested the KOENINGSEGG against an enzo, mclaren and a zonda in a drag race. i want to know which one would do a quarter mile first.

where is tiff nedell. He's the best driver and tv show host that ever came across top gear. I dont mind J clarkson, but these new young idiots they have on the show are boring and can't even drive. The Best day of TOP GEAR were around 98, when they had TIff and Vicky testing all the cool stuff.

I live in middle east, so i get the BBC WORLD CHANNEL. Despite the its name "World" that channel has nothing to do with the world. Half the show are about INDIA and indian politics, who cares !!!

once they said: "Top Gear after the news",.... so i waited for the news to finish and then instead of TG, they put some wierd Indian Talk show, dicussing the number of tree leaves in india (or something like that.) i tried finding a tv schedule to see when they put TG, but i never found such a thing.

ANYWAY bbc should be sued for their stupidity and lack of respect for foreign audience who want to watch proper shows about the entire world and not just india.

now im forced to download top gear episodes from kazaa at pathetic speeds

I think the Konigsegg would win in a drag race. It has the best power/weight ratio out there, and apparently the best aerodynamics. Also, none of those cars are geared for drag racing...let's not even talk about the stiff suspension!

I don't know if they drag race them, but Evo (November 2003) does a head on comparison of the Enzo, Koenigsegg, and Pagani. Why is there so much interest in straight line acceleration? The Zonda is down 100hp on the other two and I'm pretty sure it posts faster lap times. Cars weren't meant for straight line sprints; except when bragging rights are involved. The photography accompanying the article is excellent. Read the article if you want a comparison of more than quarter-mile times. You can probably trust that the manufacturers posted their numbers under optimal wind/road conditions and they abused the clutches. I don't think any magazine/DVD can match the manufacturers' claims, so just compare those. They were probably conducted under virtually the same conditions.
