Default CTR vs S2000

Hope this is not a repost,

But why run an S in the we? Why does Top Gear compare car times around a circuit, some in the wet, some in the dry.

That's not Top Gear it's 5th Gear.

They loose any credibility before the race even gets started with comments such as I've turned the traction control off and the s2000 only has 20 bhp more.

this vid and the ensuing discussion is as old as the hills on here and on the CTR forum. general opinion is that it was indeed a set-up.

as Nottm_S2 says above, the bit about leaving the traction control on was priceless.
