IF you are not being facetious/sarcastic towards him, I believe Pissy Chrissy is referring to the (British??) Ultima kit cars that can be had with LSx engines installed, NOT the Nipsan Altima production car.

You are correct that the SSC is faster (3mph) on the big end, but the Veyron is far more refined and stable up top. Check out some of the reviews comparing the two. Take into account the brakes, suspension, engine development and transmission as well. It only takes the Veyron 10 seconds to come down from 250mph to 0mph, the transmission is one of the best auto/manual ever created and the engine was built to last thousands of hard miles.

<opinion> While the SSC is brutally fast, it is lacking in almost every other category when compared to the Veyron. </opinion>

I completely agree. I think beyond any shadow of a doubt Top Gear is the best Automotive show on television. It's personally my favorite show on television. If you people get offended by him you are surely too uptight. A LOT of what he says is true. Up until the past 10 years or so American cars for the most part were rubbish. Interior, fit and finish, etc. Sure us American's can make some muscle cars (of which I absolutely love) but the generic econoboxes were quite crap.

I honestly don't know of an American brand car that goes to the lengths that some european manufacturers do to please their customers. Sure you pay for the service but they truly cater to their consumers.

And before those of you spout off about how much they hate American cars, look up what the Family Car of the Year was last year...

Anyhow, those of you that are fans can see full episodes at finalgear dot com. They have them formatted for download, and you can see the entire BRITISH versions which usually have far better content then the watered down USA edited version. Oh, and NO COMMERCIALS

Are you confusing the Ultima with the Altima?

I won't let a little hating from those crumpet munchin', tea sippin, crooked toothed, jolly ol' English bastards get the best of me. They're just butt-hurt that their beloved Aston Martin V12's are rocking Ford Taurus internals, and their water tight Jags are more reliable as fish tanks then daily transportation.
OY! It ain't my fault my teeth are crooked, and it's miserable old English bastard to you!

It's on the BBC. They stagger it so it airs in the US almost a year after they show it in the UK. I find that the best way to watch it is via the internet.
