I should have taken a picture but the exorcist had a 9.62 timeslip in the console. My guy that was detailing it showed me. That car also ran on C16. I couldn't let it run in the shop for long because everyone's eyes would start to burn.

The only thing that was confusing me was in the first scene with the ZL1 James was shifting it with the paddles, but on a manual car(if its like my C7 Z06) the paddles just turn the auto blip on and off?

You can give 1000hp to a lot of people who can still get whooped by a more skilled driver using a 700hp package.

Too bad they didn't use the ZLE to beat the snot outta May while he was willow-footing that Camaro.

I agree, I would have rather seen Jeremy Clarkson in the Camaro, he seems to push the cars a little more out of the three. I've always enjoyed watching them on Top Gear and it was a lot of fun to watch the new show this season start off with American cars.

It was an auto

That would make sense, I guess I was thinking it was a manual as he kept stalling it doing burnouts.

Yeah that part confused me, I think he didn't turn off traction control or stabilitrak and it killed it so fast it stalled with that rough idling cam. It's amazing that he is that poor of driver yet has been doing this for how many years?

It's a TV show, they have characters to portray. "Captain Slow" is his schtick.

Yes, but still, Clarkson and Hammond are way better drivers

Just my conspiracy theory, but I think they did it to keep Dodge happy. It was the only direct manufacturer supplied car.

I love the show. I thought the first episode was so so, too much time spent on the drag race eight times, etc. but I love the guys, and it's a show… Not an C&D evaluation… It's always been just "crazy comedians with expensive cars and great photography". I am still blown away every week with the photography.

The second (and third) episode is one of their infamous road trips, looking forward to watching that later this week, they are the best when they're on the road, on a mission… My favorites are the vitnam/scooter trip or when they built the bridge -on top gear.

I too kinda went when the Demon pulled on the top end of the strip but I don't how these guys are as drivers etc etc first time watching the GT.
