grr, topgear has pissed me off! they always go against every american made car saying that their crap. like when they reviewed the new ford mustang, they tested it against a lotus elise on an all turns track. duhh, of course the elise would win, its made to handle turns. they also went for the new corvette Z06 and saying that "Its so american" to have a gps in the car and had it pop up with asking where the closest place to eat is, wtf!
i'm sorry but i needed to vent about them, thats all

Corvette video's not working, it looks like its linked to RD somewhere.
But the mustang race is kinda silly, an ultralight weight super handleing lotus against a live-axle mustang? come on now...

I think you'd like this video better, more honest toward the mustang.

you can't compare a lotus to a mustang. jeremy clarkson is very anti-american but one of his favorite cars ever built is the Ford GT40. most of the time i see where he's coming and a lot of the time he makes sense. in the end though i remember him saying that we've forgotten that if it weren't for Britain we wouldn't exist. Sometimes I disagree with the show though because you can buy a cheap good car, lower it and put some sway bars on for a few hundred more and it'll completely change the characteristic of the car however they are a show based on OEM factory built cars which I think is so much better and clearer for the general public to see where manufacturers stand themselves.
i don't agree with Richard that it "looks fantastic".
also if anyone can tell when he holds up the photo for the cool wall there's a GK behind there but i can't tell if it's cool or uncool.

Yah hkc they put the GK on the cool wall.
And i disagree with the "if it werent for britain we wouldnt exist" part; America would have been settled by Spain and or France instead but American/world history sure would have been different.
Oh and the one where he races a mustang against a real horse, he says he's driving a 4.6L V8 when its clearly a V6. Made himself look real dumb lol.

Best car show on tv. Period. The show is biased, but it's pretty much what the rest of the world thinks. And it's not made for Americans...it must be hard for you guys to watch.
