Heard about this today after it aired. I'll have to find it somewhere to watch it. I heard they used a different talon to smash.

God damn this show is terrible... Feels so forced, the I interaction between the hosts is so phony. Tg Australia is the only non UK TG spin off that is anwhere close to the original.

Except for when they were they were testing the ZR1 and couldnt do better than like a 5 second zero to 60 time. Then they called GM and said we cant make your car go fast. GM replied to them, when are you shifting? It can do 60 in first gear retards.

Then they didnt short shift it and LOW AND BEHOLD THE 0-60 TIME BECAME FAST.

Smartest car guys ever.

I dislike TG 'Merca so much I don't think I'll even watch this clip. That screenshot did it for me.

TG US should've had Tim Allen, Jay Leno, and Adam Corolla as the hosts.


Then it wouldn't be the suck

Agreed. Leno would have been perfect for this show.

It seems no matter what the challenge is, Tanner always is the best and wins. Kinda corny to me.

Considering that the other 2 are idiots or at least play idiots on TV the result is not surprising. It like entering Usain Bolt into the Special Olympics. That show is painful to watch it is so bad.

I can't tell if he is being extremely sarcastic or not.

I was feeling strong sarcasm, I thought it was pretty funny and was surprised everyone took the comment seriously.

Yep, different Talon. You can see at the end it's a FWD base model Talon they used for the parachute scene.

I watched the episode on History Channels website and it actually wasn't that horrible. It was better than it was a couple of years ago, but I probably still wouldn't have watched it if it didn't have a DSM in it.

Goat Blower 02-04-2013 01:48 PM

Re: 1G DSM on last night's Top Gear America!
 
I DVR it and watch it at night when I have time. I actually like it, but I miss where they were testing supercars. Now it just seems to be these challenges with crap cars. That's getting a little old.

Funny enough, I can't stand anything on the Speed channel, every one of their shows are just awful, it's strange that the better car shows are on networks like the History and Discovery channels. Velocity is definitely the best though.
