I'm pretty sure there hasn't been a better Top Gear episode than the race between the Veyron and the Eurofighter Typhoon, except maybe their entertaining foray in the Deep South.

Did you really find the Typhoon v Veyron race to be the pinnacle of top gear? or are you just trolling?

Ye, the confusing thing was though, that Jeremy was going on about the Subaru having turbo lag and such and the focus RS being insanely fast, however the RS got absolutely smoked in the drag race. Nice looking car nonetheless.

If you keep the revs high in a turbo-charged car the lag won't affect that much (As in a drag race; quick shifts, high revs). Turbo lag comes across best (or worst) when you're driving a steady speed and then put the pedal down, especially in lower revs.

My boss drives a Mazda CX7 with the 2.4l (or is it 2.5?) Turbo, and the lag is so terrible, it's almost dangerous in slippery weather. The bastard just is asthmatic and gives less torque than if it had a 1.2l NA-engine.

What Clarkson did, was low revs and high gear, just to over-emphasize the lag. I'm sure it's not THAT bad.

In my personal opinion.

It's a terrible engine. I get to drive it a bit, and I miss his 2.8 V6 Turbo Vectra every time I do.

Try taking off in a Turbo-charged aeroplane from 0-90 mph, and not getting the power symmetrical when the Turbo kicks in
