That is a bad-*** machine! But wouldn't it have been politically correct to be wearing firesuit and helmet during his little romp?? I noticed he handed the controls to a pro when they went for the track record.

Don't you find it just a tad odd, maybe even stupid that the driver was not wearing a helmet while driving 174mph in the first part of the video.

Am I just a sissy?

Jeremy Clarkson is a riot. He once drove a Jag XJ8 down a snow covered mountainside to prove how well it handled in the snow. I watched Top Gear all the time when I was in England. Nice vid but still...
