Stig can get crazy numbers out of alot of cars, and he should, he's a professional F1 and rally driver.

Um, that is pretty much exactly what he does. He gets in the car, drives around the track, comments on it, then the Stig does EVERY power lap.

As for the "bias". Mmhmm, we don't have ANY of that around here do we? Frech surrender monkeys, bad asian drivers, soulless germans, etc. etc.

You know how MOPAR guys and Ford guys and GM guys all talk sh*t about each other?

This is the EXACT same thing. Mix in a little national pride and this is what you get. It's funny because one of their common complaints about "us americans" is that you can't have a rivalry with us, because everyone gets all uppity.

It's a car show, meant to entertain, from a country and culture completely different from our own.

Get over it.

Racist? Really? And btw he was pretty clearly speculating, because when that aired the Camaro wasn't even out yet. There was no way to hear it, or sit in it, I'm not even sure there were final number TO crunch.

Racist...?

yeahh, but the R8 is all wheel drive, isnt it? it would make sense that that car was the easier one to drive fast because of the added grip and less over steer

That vid's is I think from 2 seasons ago. There was another one with the Vette that he did in this last season.

Blade · 03-21-2010, 08:13 PM

Here's the vid....

Also, doesn't the R8 have AWD? Ofcourse its going to have better handling...

They have plans to do the Z28 (LS9) atleast the english dude said he wanted to drive it because he liked the 2009 CTS-V (LS9)

I'm suprised no one has pointed out that the v6 was reviewed by Fifth Gear, and they loved it.

ron10 · 03-21-2010, 08:48 PM

those guys are just not my "spot of tea".if clarkson was half as smart as he thinks he is, he'd have the brain of a moron.

cyber_satan · 03-21-2010, 09:19 PM

I think Merc Pays off Jeremy Clarkson to say all this shit !
in a lot of episodes where results show that a MERC got beaten !
Jeremy still stands up for it !

what a IDIOT ! ..
