Top Gear on the new Vette (and Ford GT)

That show sucks and so does the guy who hosts it. Stupid brits!

My god.

4 mpg my ass...

actaully he bought that ford gt he liked it so much. or at least they were saying he bought it

Top gear is a great show. More independent then any other crap youll watch. Theyll dog anything if it doesnt live up to expectations. I've seen them rip on Ferraris, Lotus, even the Maclaren F1. There reviews are usually pretty damn good. They really put them through the paces, and often have the same driver, take them round the same track, and compare the times between cars.

What does that mean? The guy ran out of gas on the test track. 4 mpg doing repeated WOT blasts is probably about right. He did note that Ford claimed it would get 12 with more sensible driving.

They made fun of certain aspects of it, but they gave the car its due. It POUNDED the track times of several supercars costing twice as much, and was more in the class of the SLR than the Stradahle. That says volumes about how good it is.

If they only take 28 cars to the UK, and the host of Top Gear is one of the 28 it is a safe bet that he likes the car.

Is that show on in the U.S.? Seen lots of their video clips and i like it. They said the Vette was fun, can you really blame them for bashin the quality of American cars??? Have you looked under the dash on a Mustang??? They don't even finish off the freakin carpet right, "out of sight, out of mind", that is ridiculous... how much more can it possibly cost to seal the carpet all the way up???? Tons of little things like that can be found on american cars.

They rip just about everything that isnt british. ITs a funny show but also very inaccurate.

"plastic left hand car with Vetnamies suspension"......

ha f u c k i n brits. It's funny....they praise the vettes suspension yet keep refering to leaf springs. Ohhh well.

tell you what tho, those monkeys have the job to die for. gets to drive the car most of us only get to see in magazine all day long, drive the pisss out of it, and even get paid(well very well appearently) for it.
only sucks part of it is, if you gets to drive variation of cars those guys gets to drive, may make them very hard to buy normal car for their wife, because for them to drive say Nissan 350z is like me getting in to old Chevy Citation or something...

got to be. and get paid for it...
