i saw where it was mainly about drifting,not my thing but hopefully they will track it and maybe do a top end..............

spearfish25 11-27-2010 07:37 PM

From the mini-preview, it looked like some fat-a$$ guest trying to drift it...poorly. This will be a disappointment, mark my words. Maybe Tanner Dip$hit will do some real drifting first, but I'd still rather watch a genuine track session.

sonic370 11-27-2010 07:44 PM

i remember seeing that plus the D.A. had a blindfold on!!!!
hope it doesn't turn into a tongue in cheek put down of the car

TypeOne 11-27-2010 07:45 PM

Well... I would say watch the UK episode, but they pretty much do the same thing. Not to mention that they hate the Z cars.. lol

ThoriumHotdog 11-27-2010 07:45 PM

:iagree: with spearfish. Hopefully they'll do a full test.

m4a1mustang 11-27-2010 07:47 PM

I hope it has an oil cooler!!!

I guess that depends on if they bought the Z or if Nissan sent them one. :)

I'm sure Nissan sent them a mule. Probably has the cooler and upgraded pads/fluid. :tup:

shadoquad 11-27-2010 09:20 PM

I'll probably watch it, but I hope it's better than the premiere, because that stunk.

Mt Tam I am 11-28-2010 08:15 AM

I've got the DVR set. I hope it is a good episode this time.

I think it's on 10pm EST on History.

CBRich 11-28-2010 07:41 PM

Got the DVR set up and ready to go.

Jamaica 11-28-2010 09:14 PM

the viper top gear vs the cobra is interesting. 10pm for the Z

shaun66 11-28-2010 09:48 PM

So who's watching!?

cajunz 11-28-2010 09:48 PM

This is pathetic. Three morons just screwing around. Complete waste of time.

crash1369 11-28-2010 09:49 PM

Looks like next week will be a 300zx


I don't know if I can stomach another episode though. At least this drifting part is original, or at least I haven't seen the UK show where they already did it :rofl2:

shaun66 11-28-2010 09:51 PM

Yeah whats this nonsense with some random person failing at driving.
I wanna see someone make the car look good not pathetic!

FERRARI 11-28-2010 09:52 PM

What a bunch of Bozos........not worth watching

shaun66 11-28-2010 09:54 PM

Yep dum challenges to.

shaun66 11-28-2010 09:57 PM

So who exactly did they pick? Just some random person?

Sweet.

steveg78 11-28-2010 10:02 PM

The Lancer was interesting to see in the snow but the Aston Martin and 370 segments blew donkey balls... I think I'll stick to the REAL Top Gear show on BBC.

shaun66 11-28-2010 10:06 PM

What they need to do is talk more about what they think of the car and its pros and cons. Not just abuse them.
I think Tanner Foust is a good choice, but who are the other two hosts?
Show could be a lot better .

+1

The American version will never be as good as the original one.

CrownR426 11-28-2010 10:10 PM

Sadness...
Should've done the Z instead of the Evo :P

samb03 11-28-2010 10:26 PM

the blind test driver is a comedian friend of Adam Ferrara. Having a drift compitition with Tanner against 2 non competition drivers wouldn't be fair at all. Adam ferrara is a stand up comedian and the bearded guy is some journalist if I remember right. The show is more based on color commentary than the actual cars. The Brittish show is much better but I am going to give the US version a little time to settle out the kinks. It takes time to build chemistry and figure out who needs to do what segments.

tranceformer 11-28-2010 10:32 PM

100ft burnout, LMAO!

m4a1mustang 11-28-2010 10:39 PM

The bearded guy, Rutledge Wood, is a moron who used to work for Speed channel as one of their NASCAR pre-race show people, except he wasn't actually one of the analysts or reporters... just a guy they paid to make a fool out of himself in "entertaining" filler segments. He basically has no credible background to support his doing anything on television under any circumstance. Ever.

Lemers 11-28-2010 10:46 PM

Not what I exspected for the drift but I liked it anyways.

AllForTheCash 11-28-2010 10:48 PM

A waste.

That explains it all. :shakes head:

Yep. If he was a former driver and/or had real technical knowledge and a good television personality it would make sense, but unfortunately he's not.

Kcuba370z 11-28-2010 11:01 PM

I'm Disappointed

Jamaica 11-28-2010 11:04 PM
