Wow that GTR is fast. I am not talking top speed fast, but around the bendy bits in the road as Mr Clarkson would put it. If you watch the entire episode you see that after a 45 period where Jeremy did not have access to the nav screen and got lost he still beat the train by 3 minutes. So that means that if he did not get lost he could have beaten them by 30 to 40 minutes. Not bad when racing a 200 MPH train on public roads.

I don’t think there’s any way the US version can touch the BBC version. Top Gear has a unique mix of personalities and stunts that can’t be recreated.

I will reserve judgement until I see the US version, but I don’t think it will be “Top Gear America”, but instead just another car show for the states.

This was a fun video.

It’s a nice car, but I’d still rather have a ZR1.

The U.S. version better not come across as processed spontaneity like pimp my ride or that redneck truck pimping show I caught for the first time last night. They got real big shoes to fill, and YouTube has plenty of the original show for me to watch if they suck.

Now to watch Clarkson. Don’t always agree with the man, but he always entertains.
