America: "Oh, of course. How foolish of us. That will fix the complicated economic climate immediately. Btw, how is Brexit going?"

It's not just the USA that they have done that to. I don't remember if it was when they were on Top Gear, or the Grand Tour going through the newly built (but deserted) Airport in Spain as well as the abandoned towns.
I do think that episode highlighted what has happened in many areas of this country, the loss of those type of manufacturing jobs and such. Sorry for the social commentary.
I was surprised that the Hennesy ZL1 didn't do better in the 1/4, but I always thought they overstated their engine output. It's also crazy what they charge for the engine/graphic package. Check out their price for the drag package (what was it for the Demon, a $1?).
