They might be funnier if they didn't do them constantly. The challenges seem very scripted too and I think they have to be because Foust is such a better driver than the others. I would like to see them drive the muscle cars around a wet track for time and see them losing control so I could see a real honest reaction out of them when they are losing it.

Put the video of this guy crashing on the show and lets see an in car shot of the guys face. That would actually be funny. I don't care if they go on to say how this is the worst handling car ever made. It would be FUN and I could deal with it.

That's one of my main gripes with the show. They need some balance, do some serious reviews or talk about auto news. It's become all goofy challenges, all the time.

I also think TG UK is better, but the last time they reviewed a Camaro SS, it was up against a $85K MB AMG, which they believed was twice the car the Camaro was.

Then it was stated that only serial killers drive Camaros LOL!

Apparently you did not watch that farce of a Muscle Car episode that they ran.

Hammond wouldn't have wrecked the ZL1.
