You left out Tiff Needell, perhaps the premier car reviewer of the past decade (He's my favorite, for his exhuberance, ability, knowledge, and sense of history)
and the fact that having actually raced in Formula ONE, hes a better driver than is the Stig

^ I thought the Stig the 2,3 or more actual persons that played the role were mostly F1 drivers themselves.
widely accepted to be ben collins...racer in many divisions/classes but never to the level of formula 1 (highest echelon of racing)

wtf?
I think what he means to say is that the dampening and spring rates were modified from the stock R8 shock, and still retain the stock shock body w/ all of audi's hoo-ha's

Reminds me of James May authoritatively stating that the Ferrari F40 has a twin-turbo V6 in the latest Top Gear special.
Was the XJ220 involved in the same special? Could have been an editing mistake as the cars from the same era and often used in the same specials....
