Default The STUPIDEST Top Gear video Evar



The video seems spot on until you get to 3:42. The commentary makes me want to punch babies.

They have never been big on american cars. They drove a 2013 GT500 last year and gave it a good review other than the "plastic" interior

I really don't care that they don't like American cars but, c'mon, they are supposed to be car guys and they degrade the Mustang because it's advertised power is more than the car puts down on a chassis dyno!? That's EVERY car ever! WTF? I wish I had been on the set for that show. Jeebus.

Wow what is a GT390 and that guys a fucking idiot saying the GT500 has the same engine as the GT but SC. I quit watching it after the dyno. And I thought those GT500 was rated at 550 from the factory.

Which is great for a track car taking a lot of driver error out of the equation.

Basically the same thing as someone putting a GT 4.6 or GT 281 sticker on their car.

There was no GT390 from Ford...well technically. The GT390 was often a Bullitt, since all the Bullitt Mustangs came with 390s.
