What!? I thought for sure everything on there was completely true, especially that diesel jaguar that drove across england on 1 tank of gas. He had Tight_Rollin'5Oh gas mileage... something like 1300 miles on the tank. :6

as long as we're in agreement that the show is ridiculously stupid.

i still enjoy watching it because of the serious lack of auto shows in the US

dude he compared a car to a ------ horse. seems like a joke to me...


i wouldnt buy a Mustang, i would prefer a quality vehicle. sure its got more power, might put out better times... but it doesnt change the fact that its a ------ Ford. its parts bin built, and half ass put together. and that is from personal experience!

how can the c6 z06 have the 2nd best production car time around nuremburg but get beat by a evo on their course?


as ive always said, the show is entertainment. there is no real sustenance to the show


Yeah, we havent quite mastered weather control yet, sorry about that! ::). Anyhow the fact that its a wet lap would be taken in to consideration when the final times go up so what are you trying to say.

The reason the c6 puts in such a good time on the Nurbergring is more than likely down to the lengths of the straightaways where its top end can show through. The Top Gear test circuit doesnt have the massively long straight sections and focuses more on the handling element. So what does that say about the c6!

Oh..... and just for the record Jeremy Clarkson is a toss piece, Lots of brits feel the same!!

I'd say that a good 50% of the laps are done in the rain or on a wet circuit anyhow. I dont know if you have ever been here but It rains alot. They only test what they are sent so its your manufacturers faults for sending over the gash models! Yeah i agree most of the show is a bit laughable but thats the idea. The lap comparisons however give a fair enough assesment on each cars abillities.
