BTW I noticed on that V there were turn lights under the V on the front quarters....??? My '05 doesn't have those....do the '06+ have them?
And yes, American Top Gear filmed their pilot show a couple weeks ago. Adam Carola and Tanner Frost(?) we the main hosts. Besides being hampered by sponsors lining their pockets for good reviews no one can compete with the chemistry that Jeremy and crew have. And that's 99% the reason BBC TG is so good.

Adam is avutally a car guy. I believe he's into the old Ferrari's and stuff. He's not so bad. Tanner is a drifting champion and hosts SuperCars Exposed or something on Speed. He can drive, doesn't sound like and ***, and interesting enough to keep my attention for 30 mins.

Yeah when I was stationed over in England, I thoroughy enjoyed the TV Programming over there. "The Office", with David Brent was just hilarious, and they have less commercials over there so it made it even sweeter. The only bad thing about it is, they charge you about 220 dollars per colored TV/per year. As for the comparo, it wasn't so bad; but as stated before...just overly biased. Which is the agenda that their sponsors would have imposed on them. They did a crappy job with the new Shelby GT 500 too.

As far as the GT500 goes....I'm not sure I've read a good review on it anywhere. $45k 4000lb Mustang and does it even have IRS?

2 of my friends have the shelby gt 500's and it's really about hp
per dollar here, and from that standpoint it cant be beat...they both did the same
upgrades,... pully,cai, and catback and are getting aroud 640-650 to the crank...those
numbers arent anything to knock...how could you? idr? look at our issues, thats why no idrs...great for autocrossing...shytty for launching. ( in our case anyway )

makes sense...as why add more cost if GM didnt need too...?
i like the clear side marker euro look...i wish the cts-v's also had mirror
side markers as well...would make it a tad more elegant. ohh lala wee~wee!

Saw one(Gt500) at carmax for 45k. It was a silver/gray vert with a black top; and it only had 5k miles. It was a 2008, and looked looked like a monster.
