Top Gear Comparason #11: Super Saloon
Round 5: Bigging 'Em Up
You were given the opportunity to improve your cars before journeying home, scoring 1 point for every second improvement in your journey time.
Flynn took almost 200kg out of his
Lotus Carlton coupled with more power for a journey time of
2:37.691 and
16 points.
AndersonG22 had less money to spend on the
Holden, but a better set of tyres helped him achieve a time of
2:44.967 for
8 points.
Shotamagee went with a turbo and a gearbox each worth more than his
Lancer as well as many other tweaks. A
2:52.157 scores him a massive
25 points.
C-ZETA went for an all round tune, improving every aspect of his
Taurus except for the brakes. A return time of
3:03.360 scoring him
16 points.
fabmaru got so caught up in removing weight from his
FPV GT that he forgot to change the oil. A return time of
2:50.243 scores him just
6 points.
Nazzii went with a balanced tune on the
Infinity G35 before returning home in just
2:46.878 for a score of
15 points.
korza493 got called away while his
Mazda was in the shop, leaving them to improve it as they saw fit. A new time of
2:45.541 scores
9 points.
However a 6 hour delay costs him
-1 point for the time delay.
SVX finally arived at the tune shop with his
Volvo S60 on the back of a low-loader.
The
3:07.659 drive time coupled with a 39 hour delay were worth
15 points and
-9 points respectively.
After spending some money on repairs he posted a
2:58.442 for the return journey scoring
9 points.
However, being 9 hours late he takes another time penalty of
-2 points.
BH-21 still hasn't reached the tune shop, so we can only assume he has more important things on his mind and has forgotten about this comparason.
