Ok so i also saw the Club Sport last night , but there is NO WAY, i dont believe it!!! that the Golf CS is better an faster then the GTR, I'm a golf fan, i have a GTi myself, an they are great cars,  i dont have the CS,
 but i am a massive fan of the GTR an i just dont believe its faster.

Even i think Joe said it at the end, the reason why the golf done so good was cause it had Sebine at the wheel, she lives at that place  :grin:, think she knows that track better then anyone in the world. an Fair play to her, she drove like a animal, great driving.

but anyone else, no way, no way faster then a GTR.
When i saw it over take a GTR i just started laughing  :grin: :grin:

anyway hope you all have a nice day  :wink:

The CS is a cracking car, I'm sure the CS-S takes it one step further.

Here's the real reason for the giant-killing

Agree, I've been on a good few track events and I've seen plenty of people 400+ bhp cars but they only have the talent for less than half that power. As for top gear last night, it was staged I think. Although that E36 3 series could have been a 316 but even if it was an M3 the CCS should be able to slater it.

The CS&CSS are stunning cars and I would love one.

I didn't think the review was up to much to be honest. It was entertaining watching Sabine go round the ring but half the cars she passed looked like they were just cruising round rather than on a hot lap. When it cut back to the studio afterwards it was just plain awkward as none them seemed to know what to say.

I actually turned the tv right down when they were going around the track because of the annoying screaming.

I have to agree iv just watched it and it looks like most of the cars she past were braking and moving over as already said must av been staged not very good for the other manufacturers tho having to slow up to show a golf beating them  :whistle:

It's a tv programme, to be taken with a pinch of salt. I quite enjoyed it, chewing gum for the eyes :wink:

They said at the start that it was a normal "pay as you go" day, so most of the other cars will have been on their first or second laps, maybe a few more. None of the drivers will have been round the thousands of times Sabine has and they all, at least tried, to observe the rules about faster cars approaching from behind.

The thing to take from the "test" is that she thought the CSS was easy to drive, like a go kart - and she was quick! The £1.2m worth of supercar thing was just poking fun. It was Sabine that did that, and she could do it all day long.
