All of the cars looked like cartoons because of the aspect ratio of the screen.

All the major put-downs were "American-based"!

Like- "That's because it's an "American" car, like the Corvette (about the Z). That's why the ride is [so crappy]."

And- "Yeah, American's like it because it's spooorrrrtty. Spooorrrrtty!"

Etc., etc.

Man, the rest of the world thinks we are idiots when it comes to sports cars and motorsports.

Damn it! They're so right!!

That's how we ended up with this BS reduction in RPMs!!!

The one guy was like most Americans- "Too many RPMs, listen to that engine- too loud!" and "Not enough cylinders."

I really enjoyed the video, though.

they sure were driving fast in the rain! Makes you wonder about all the "s-02 in the rain" threads recently.

You guys should look at the one where they compare a Holden with Chrisler's 300 (hemi) and a jaguar. They were down right bashing the american based car. But they got a good point too... I remember one episode about the viper and that big engine, Jeremy says that if you give European engineer that same size engine, the output will be twice as much.
