It is a work of art and I wish I had the bank to afford one.  The roads around here wouldn't allow for to much travel, since there are a lot of potholes and ridges in the roads.  Pocono raceway isn't to far away to have some real fun though.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Boogyman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 30th 2006 10:25AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on First drive in Koenigsegg CCX]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/30/first-drive-in-koenigsegg-ccx/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/30/first-drive-in-koenigsegg-ccx/</guid><description><![CDATA[Awesome.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Stoneman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 30th 2006 10:52AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on First drive in Koenigsegg CCX]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/30/first-drive-in-koenigsegg-ccx/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/30/first-drive-in-koenigsegg-ccx/</guid><description><![CDATA[Looks like they finally added the rear spoiler.. If you guys remember, Top Gear (STIG) complained that the CCX could be more manageable with a spoiler. Without it, it was all over their track and STIG managed to crash this car for... first ever crash by STIG on their track.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ravi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 30th 2006 11:07AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on First drive in Koenigsegg CCX]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/30/first-drive-in-koenigsegg-ccx/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/30/first-drive-in-koenigsegg-ccx/</guid><description><![CDATA[This car might have set an even better all-time Top Gear lap record without the spoiler if that Stig had been able to handle the speeds it was reaching. The wing slowed it down and made it easier to drive for him.

Stig plowed it into the tire wall the first time around because the back end was so loose without that spoiler. Glad to see that Koenigsegg added the "Top Gear" spoiler to its own. <br><br>Unless that is just the same one they drove on the show and is their press model and left the others untouched.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[mraj4114]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 30th 2006 12:06PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on First drive in Koenigsegg CCX]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/30/first-drive-in-koenigsegg-ccx/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/30/first-drive-in-koenigsegg-ccx/</guid><description><![CDATA[apparently that IS the car the stig drove on top gear, so that's why it has the spoiler. and to #4, no, it wouldn't have gone faster without the spoiler, because without it can't go round corners nearly as fast as the back end lets go]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Mark]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 30th 2006 12:07PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on First drive in Koenigsegg CCX]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/30/first-drive-in-koenigsegg-ccx/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/30/first-drive-in-koenigsegg-ccx/</guid><description><![CDATA[I wonder why would they ever not include a spoiler during the initial design...Any proper car enthusiast could have recommended to include a spoiler. It does not take STIG to point that out. The Veyron has such a complex, hydraulic spoiler. Just my 2 cents..]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Ravi]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 30th 2006 12:23PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on First drive in Koenigsegg CCX]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/30/first-drive-in-koenigsegg-ccx/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/30/first-drive-in-koenigsegg-ccx/</guid><description><![CDATA[The way I understood it, the CCX was always available with the rear spoiler. The car seen here is the same one that has been used extensively for media and testing purposes and had the rear spoiler off for top speed runs. Top Gear didn't wait for the wing to be fitted before running it the first time and then had to send it back to get it installed because it was going too fast and needed the additional downforce for the driver to be able to keep it on track at that one turn.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Frank4Cars]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 30th 2006 12:43PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on First drive in Koenigsegg CCX]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/30/first-drive-in-koenigsegg-ccx/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/30/first-drive-in-koenigsegg-ccx/</guid><description><![CDATA[I want a car that I can complain: IT GOES TOO FAST!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Scott Eaton]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 30th 2006 1:10PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on First drive in Koenigsegg CCX]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/30/first-drive-in-koenigsegg-ccx/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/30/first-drive-in-koenigsegg-ccx/</guid><description><![CDATA[Is it me or is the switch gear from VWG?

The car was not set up correctly.  For the second run, it was.  The wing had no effect but to slow the car down.  However, I think the car looks better with the wing, and it is available as an option.  Also, it it the very same car that was used for Top gear, wing and all.  Finally, one of the most impressive things about the car is that we drove it hard all day, for 2 days, in 105 degree heat, and it never had a single problem of any kind.  I don't know what other car could do that, let alone a supercar.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Richard Weisman]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 30th 2006 2:22PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on First drive in Koenigsegg CCX]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/30/first-drive-in-koenigsegg-ccx/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/30/first-drive-in-koenigsegg-ccx/</guid><description><![CDATA[#13--<br><a href="http://www.frank4cars.fotki.com/other_automotive_events/misc/koenigsegg_door_hardware/" rel="nofollow">http://www.frank4cars.fotki.com/other_automotive_events/misc/koenigsegg_door_hardware/</a>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Frank4Cars]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Aug 30th 2006 3:16PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on First drive in Koenigsegg CCX]]></title><link>http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/30/first-drive-in-koenigsegg-ccx/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.autoblog.com/2006/08/30/first-drive-in-koenigsegg-ccx/</guid><description><![CDATA[I have a question for the guys from A-B.<br><br>What is the thing in front of the shifter?
