Top Gear is actually aired in the BBC world , so i think there might be different BBC for each continent?

I don't think there is a different BBC World, depending on what continent we are, because when you check their website you can have the schedule program and changing the country just change the hour of broadcast due to time lag but the programs are the same.

no there's no difference in the programs. it's all the same, JC insults everyone. But i still love the way he presents a car. Tongue in cheek as hell.

I bought the Top Gear magazine where they had that test between Koenigsegg, Zonda & Ferrari and it doesn't say anything about a quarter mile, but here is some information:

Koenigsegg CC8S: 0-60 in 3.3sec and a top speed of 242mph.
Max Power: 655bhp @ 6800 rpm
Max torque: 553lb ft @ 5000 rpm
Power to weight: 566bhp/ton

Zonda C12S: 0-60 in 3.6sec and a top speed of 197mph.
Max Power: 555 bhp @ 5900 rpm
Max Torque: 553 lb ft @ 4050 rpm
Power to weight: 451bhp/ton

Ferrari Enzo: 0-60 in 3.5sec and a top speed of 217.5mph
Max Power: 650 bhp @ 7800 rpm
Max Torque: 585 lb ft @ 5500 rpm.
Power to weight: 484bhp/ton.

I think this is the information that's needed to make a judgement about which one of these car's the fastest one. (My guess: The Koenigsegg CC8S)
