Cool UK Top Gear testing CTS-V, Challenger and ZR-1 in Reno

If you're just as obsessed as us, you don't have to look at the photos in the gallery to know who snatched the keys to a Corvette ZR1, Dodge Challenger and Cadillac CTS-V. But we'll spoil the (lack of) surprise for you anyway. Clarkson grabbed the 'Vette, Hammond is getting his retro kicks in the Challenger and May – the consummate stately sedan man – is piloting the CTS-V. Top Gear is rumored to be back on the air towards the end of October, and we're hoping this segment kicks off the next season. Thanks for the tip, Ben!

The new CTS-V is awesome!

Intake, pulley, and full exhaust will make that thing ridiculously fast.

"The dodge challenger is rude, crude and gets horrible gas mileage.... But i absolutely love it"

I can imagine him saying, "The ZR-1's acceleration and cornering are outstanding, but [insert minute nitpicking details], whaa, whaa, European cars are better..."
