Oh and buy the way they compare the 300C SRT to the M5?? That’s a stupid comparison. Why not compare it to the Cadillac CTS-V? The 05, CTS-V beat the 05, M5 on the ring. You want to come back with the argument that the M5 still corners better? Ok sure it does. But what does that mean? The reason the Nurburgring was created was to show how well cars do in both corner and straights.
Racing is a mix of both. So European cars are better at cornering and American cars are better at straight lines. But who cares? The only thing that matters is which is better on a track with both. Saying a car is better in corners is as meaningless as saying a car is better at straight lines. What matters is which is better at the end of a lap. And Clarkson can do all the scripted little races he wants at Willow Springs or on the Top Gear track but no one will ever care compared to the Nurburgring times.
