I would LOVE to have a Ford GT. I don't care much for Clarkson (he doesn't care much for America or Porsche 911s -- and he once destroyed a 911 just for fun), but this is a cool video.

If he applied for a job as a clown, he'd be rejected on the grounds of being over-qualified

Clarkson has a sense of humor at least. Tiff, though I respect his driving impressions much more, is a bit of an obsequious, emasculated nancy boy. I hate the short little cretin they have on there now. Maybe if they brought back Tiff and added a segment with the mechanic guy from Autoweek, Pat Goss. I always liked that guy. Thanks to Dan Taner's old site I have really built up a fondness for Top Gear over the years and the recent segments I've seen have been highly disappointing... Except this one.

Aren't you all missing the most exciting presenter of them all? Very attractive, vibrant personality and she can actually drive!

I saw this car here in Detroit while they were filming. I thought it looked ok but AFAIC, the Big Three still have a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG way to go.

Vicky B-H is/was one of the Top Gear presenters. The only woman I know of who could probably outdrive most of us here (me included)

I get to work a bit on the new Ford GT -- lots of fun, tremendous power.
