So its not a mustang but still amazing to watch. I don't know why it post twice but anyway....

[Gridleak]

I just watched yesterday, it's awesome.. I remember back in the day the F1 was my dream car. Now it's an F40 or a Gt-40.

Heres a video that is pretty gnarly too.

Man I love top gear except for the fact that Jeremy Clarkson is so anti American Muscle. Thats why you gotta love Richard Hammond

[Snake Pliskin]

Isn't there a Shelby ( not Carrol) supercar that can smoke them?

[Snake Pliskin]

Just looked up the answer to my own question...Yes. The Shelby Ultimate Aero claims 257 MPH and does it with a 1200 hp engine. Also claims a 9.90 1/4 mile. Made in the U.S. with an American (abet Chevy) V-8.

For the most part he is, BUT he did call the Mustang the greatest car ever, he had an entire video about it.

That, and he absolutely hates the Toyota Prius, he even had one destroyed because he hated it so much.

Jeremy Clarkson isn't against American Muscle. He LOVES the Corvette, and he owned a Ford GT. He just likes making fun of Americans by saying you all weigh 600 pounds and eat cheeseburgers all the time.

True, didn't he say his favorite car ever was the gt-40? I knew I liked that guy. I think all three of them make a awesome crew.

[66Sprint200]

If you look it up on youtube, they do a trip from San Francisco to the Bonneville Salt Flats, and they use American Muscle cars. Jeremy Clarkson had the new Corvette ZR-1, Richard Hammond had the Challenger, and James May had the new Cadillac and lost the name Captain Slow by yelling at Clarkson to get out of the way and FLOORING it past him. Although, my favorite 2 Top Gear challenges are the British Leyland cars, and the cheap italian super cars.

[STERLING351]

I still want the F1

Have you seen Jeremy Clarkson The Good, the Bad, the Ugly? After you see that you may reconsider what he thinks about Mustangs.
Heres the link to chapter one

YouTube - Jeremy Clarkson - Chapter 1 -Opening

He races a "Mustang GT with a 4.6L heart"(It is obviously a 4.0L V6, just look at it lol) against a horse and says the horse is better than a Mustang GT. He raced a V6, not a GT!!!

[BRUDOG]

Um.... 4.6L? Really looks awfully 4.0L to me...
