Top Gear America.

Yeah I was waiting to see Stig runthat shitty mustang round the track and it didn't happen, what gives? I wanted to see the slowstang demolish last years BMW, as is usually the case with all the cross brand comparrison tests, "Check out all the competitors who caught up to XYZ luxury brand/performance sedan figures from 2-5 years ago!!!" lame...

Either way... nobody cross shops a mustang and m3, and the mustang should be faster than the m3, it's supposed to be a more performance oriented vehicle... the m3 is a family sedan with an edge, that goes round a track better than other run of the mill bimmers, which already go round a track better than other run of the mill sedans.

keep on 'ing last years models ford, that's the way to lead the pack, right? :finger:

Mustang's are two things:
1. fast in a straight line.
2. titled to more rental companies than private owners

I cant even find a good place to watch it online :|

Mustangs are going around corners just as fast as M3s now. And the new M3s haven't been out for that long either. So the new Mustang will likely remain at the M3s tail for at least another 3-4 years before the next M3 chassis comes out.

That being said. It's not like Top Gear America is a terrible show. By all unbiased standards I think it's ok. The bearded dude can stay, he's cool. Tanner should have been the Stig since day one since everyone wants him to just keep his mouth shut and drive. The main guy should also seriously reconsider his position as "Jeremy Clarkson".

The problem with this show is that we all know how awesome it can be with Top Gear UK. Had that never been in our minds, I think we'd say "yea it's ok" more than anything.

I'm indifferent.

Oh, and I still watch Brewmasters > Top Gear. 10pm on Sundays is all about the Discovery channel

I did not read this thread, just wanted to throw in my

This show sucks, it is a total copycat of the uk version except, not funny.
I will probably still watch it just so I can bitch.

Episode 4 was yet another copycat of a UK episode. They really need more of their own challenges and reviews. The Lambo review was done by TGUK last year (S14E03), car vs chopper (S04E01), truck vs skydiver (S08E04) etc.

The car reviews themselves are absolute trash. The SLS review was little more than his opinions on the looks, and that it rides too hard. I know nothing of the cars performance, price, weight, etc. They need to be overhauled. A few common car reviews would be nice as well, such as camry vs malibu vs fusion vs accord.

I actually enjoyed the challenges they did running moonshine and blind drifting. If they would stop copying the challenges the actual creativity could show through.

FYI the mustang that went around as fast as the M3 was the track package. Effectively the CSL of the Mustang's. Not exactly the main market car, all of those are still being held back by the LRA (which can do fine on a skidpad but struggles greatly on a course with seams and undulations).

So this week its going to be a rehash of the British Car skit with the flooding of the car and running it around the track.

I seen the previews and what they did to the Olds. Needless to say, i'm not a happy camper...

So lets compare a $70,000 M3 to a $30,000 non track package stang. Okayyyyyyy

[KennyT]

Something to be said for getting a stick axled car to run a lap faster than the M3, but it's still comparing the top of the line on the edge car to a run of the mill model.

This show needs to define itself and stop with rehashing old UK stunts.

I am curious of what people that have never seen Top Gear UK think of Top Gear USA. I think we can easily say when comparing to the UK version it is a lazy, less funny, copy of the UK version, but what does Joe Nascar think? ohh wait, I dont care what Joe Nascar thinks. Nevermind

[Frog]

Top Gear uk is my favorite show of all time.

Top Gear America is probably the worst. I hate how they even try to copy the personality Clarkson, or the others.

Pitiful. I am pissed that Top Gear uk allowed this nonsense.

Faust is getting annoying. He has a weird ego thing going on and seems fake.
The last show was crap except for jumping the Caddy. Wasted a half hour of my life for three seconds.
