370 on Top Gear

nurseryboy

I actually like the show. Sure, it's not nearly as good at the Euro Top Gear, but if you look back at their first episodes (even first few seasons), they weren't very good either. It took a while for them to get into a groove and build the group dynamic, and it's going to take these guys some time too. While watching it from that perspective (knowing they're growing), it's actually a pretty good show. I think it's much better than the Australian Top Gear. That was painful to watch in my opinion, although I still did because it's a car show. I think, given some time, Top Gear US will get much better. Probably never on par with the Euro one, but that doesn't mean it still can't be good and fun to watch.

I was looking forward to this episode for a week, only to be offered this rooster sucking episode. We don't even talk about racing on the streets here at the 370Z.com, yet they pretend to be racing on the city streets, avoiding helicopters or skiers, etc.
They have at least proven that it takes no skill to drive a car (especially an auto) fast in a straight line. Recall, Tanner lost the Lambo speed test to two novice yahoos. Referring to Fat guy Rutledge Wood and not so funny comedian Adam Ferrara.

I want to see two drivers compete with the same type of car against one another. This requires two experienced drivers. Instead of a celebrity guest driver bring in Jeremy Clarkson or one of the Top Gear hosts as drivers from around the world, and compete with Tanner Foust. Something to show off these high end cars handling ability, not just power.
