Just a reminder that each week CBS tends to run over with the football broadcast. If you will be setting a DVR make sure that you run it over and hour or so in order to make sure that you get the whole thing!

Sadly, Jeremy Clarkson would never say that.
Hammond said he'd take the Camaro- but he LOVES American muscle cars.
Sorry- I watch this show religiously.

It was definitely an L99 you can see the paddles on the back of the wheel in a couple of shots, not to mention the obvious lack of shifting. I would have given anything to see a head-on camera shot of the 60 min guy soiling his drawers on that ride with the Stig. Thanks to Top Gear & the Stig for making our cars look as awesome as we know they are.

I thought the same thing as soon as I saw it and rewound it for a better look. I thought maybe it is because of the paddle shifters, which I don't have, that make the steering wheel look smaller.

The drag strip is like sniffing glue, it's cheap, it's a decent buzz, it doesn't last long and they are all the same.
Road racing is like China White Heroin, the buzz is stronger, the high lasts for hours, it's extremely addictive and they are all different.
I can't wait for my next
Track fix.
