Worst show ever... so much potential with all the muscle cars and they manage to ruin it...

The british version is just better. The hosts are worth watching. The american version really should have thought out the hosts more.

Horrible. No unbiased assessments or any opinions whatsoever other than rooting for the car they are each driving. I'm deleting this crap from my DVR.

Top Gear Sucks!

What kind of comparison was that? They compare a Camaro SS automatic, down 26hp, to the Mustang GT manual, to the Challenger SRT 392 (with 470hp and costs $45K) At least compare it to the Challenger R/T at a similar price. Not like it mattered as the Challenger is still a fat pig. Then they call foul on the Camaro and never race it around the track. Any idiot knew the air dam was going to blow off the car as it was held on with tape! I felt like I was watching a TV show made by Ford to compare cars and since the Camaro is so awesome, all the could do is black flag it somehow so it couldn't dominate. And what was up with the stupid horses racing Mustangs? Who buys a Mustang and races someone yet adheres to the freakin' speed limit? I can't believe I just watched idiots race and "oh no, slow down, I can't go over 25mph!" Someone ship these guys to Iran, make them drive around in puke green Kia Soul's and paint targets on the doors. What a stupid show the US Top Gear is!

I was in the audience of this episode. Its funny that Dodge never uses an R/T. They use the car thats 10-13k more lol. They should have used a Camaro with the RS package... looks much better. Plus I agree on the beige interior and auto comments from Tanner haha. I still like the show though. I don't take what they say seriously. Most of the dialogue is given to them. They need to talk crap on each others cars to keep it a little interesting.

Yea.... that's not Top Gear. Richard Hammond from Top Gear likes the Camaro quite a bit.

That was a pretty good episode. I think they're starting to get the hang of this thing....hopefully they can keep it up and loose the "scripti-ness"...

I enjoyed watching the Camaro tear-up that drive-in!

The show had its ups and downs but you have to admit the long drift in the 302 was pretty sexy. But yes they should have used the LS3.

BBC Top Gear is the only Top Gear. Tanner needs to go away.

I enjoyed the show. Was never meant to be a true comparison. It's entertainment, and I was entertained. That Boss drift was wayyy cool!!
