Ahhhh! Feels like going back in time when watching old episodes of Top Gear – a show that will forever stay in the hearts of many car fans. And guess what… Jeremy had lots of hair back then and there was the Black Stig. Too bad that when the Stig was setting the lap time at the Top Gear’s airport track it was raining and he couldn’t achieve a better time for the 911 Turbo.

For those of you that can’t really tell the difference between the models in the 911 line up there is a surprisingly simple explanation for you at the end of the video. You can watch the Top Gear’s review after the jump.

A few days ago, I posted a video where the latest Porsche 911 GT3 was presented. This time it’s the previous generation 911 – 996 GT3, and it’s chasing a Lamborghini Gallardo. The action is taking place somewhere near the lake Garda (Italian Lago di Garda) in Northern Italy which seems to be a good choice to get the maximum of your car’s capabilities and test your driving skills. Yes, there are some drawbacks – public roads and traffic.

Find out more about lake Garda on Wikipedia (linky). You can also download the video posted above in better quality if you enter GT3000.com, then click Videos, Country Roads, scroll down and click on Lago di Garda (67 MB).
