Bump that......
How about not using the 396...... Where is the legendary Rat Motor.....!

topgear america is such a joke, no wonder it got cancelled. top gear UK may hate on american cars and camaros but its still atleast truthful and informative

JoansDriver · 10-07-2013, 08:31 PM

That was cool. I like the top gear UK guys so much better, tho.

delta6 · 10-07-2013, 09:15 PM

Same here. I like Top Gear UK more.

Clark Grizwald · 10-08-2013, 08:56 AM

I don't care about the race so much because I'm sure it was just for entertainment purposes, but its really cool to see all six of those cars together!

SROD · 10-08-2013, 10:21 AM

Yep, I wanted to like it for the US cars, and being a Brit maybe I'm biased but it's utterly crap...stopped watching it ages ago. They're trying to replicate the incredible rapport that the "real" Top Gear guys have, that gradually built up over so many years. Most people also don't know that TG started in the late 70's and gradually morphed into the incredible show it is now. There, I'm done :-)

Hasn't every copy been canceled? The Aussie version may have been worse than the American version. Or maybe I just really hate Aussies...

I'd love to see the UK version go back to more cheap car challenges. The last couple series seemed too faked. Like Hammond's taxi cab race, it was blatantly more fake than his best bus race, his airport vehicle race or his caravan race. On the whole still much better entertainment than the 'don't upset the sponsors' garbage of US Top Gear.

that was last year. Ferrara was an idiot as usual. Said Tanner's white Camaro was a 'girls color'
that should be interesting to all those 66 Shelby mustang owners

they already had one 'funny' guy with Rutledge , they should have put an automotive journalist like Matt Stone or someone on there with the other two. the way it is now you just have two idiots ripping on the cool guy.
