The Top Gear video that most of have seen shows the 111s (non-LSS) pull a 1.35 lap.

This video:

http://www.missouri.edu/~jrjx93/Top Gear - Boxter, Z4, S2000 Review.mpg

Shows the S2000 at 1.37.4, the Z4 1.37.3, and the Boxster 1.37.0.

The Elise was a full 2 seconds faster, which is a pretty big margin, particularly on such a short track. Granted different days, but same driver, same track.

With an extra 30+ hp of the Fed Elise, I reckon the gap will widen. And, in the dry, widen considerably, in line with the 5 second laptime differentials we've seen in publications.

Cheers.

I can't remember. Were the S2 and Z4 times done in the wet too?

Just watched the episode with the S2, Z4 and P car. It was in the wet. In the dry the Elise would have probably massacred the the 3 others.

I have the 111s episode but I would love to see the other Top Gear show. Being in the US there aren't many other options other than the web. Do you know where I can download it from?

I have a lot of Top Gear and 5th Gear stuff that I downloaded over 2 gigs of stuff. I can put it all on a DVD for you just PM, or let me know if you are interested. It will save you hours of downloading.
