I don't think I had ever really heard the Mercedes V12 in full force before watching that episode with the Zonda. It sounded absolutely incredible.

Amazing as it is, ultimately its a pretty pointless car.

Yeah, but at least you can drive the majority of them on the road or race track.

What's the point of a car that isn't street legal, doesn't conform to any race class standards, and is too loud for most race tracks to begin with?

Just as Clarkson said, you can't even drive it unless you have your own personal track.

You can surely drive a Zonda on the roads.

Watch the episode.  It's the Zonda R.  It is totally pointless.

Did you watch the episode?  There's also the Zonda Tricolore, and other road going Zondas.

Yes, but the Zonda R is the one that isn't legal to use anywhere except on your own personal track.

Yes I know that.  I was referring to the post quoted below, which was a reply to Caddy saying that the V12 in the Zonda sounds good.  Caddy didn't say Zonda R.

It was. But with Top Gear even a bad one is still good.

I didn't like that episode... Amber Heard was the only good part of that show.

I did like Amber Heard.  Who doesn't love a bisexual, gun loving, and muscle car driving girl?

But don't think I'll be watching Drive Angry, any movie with a title like that does not sound worth watching.
