Top Gear in my opinion has Jeremy Clarkson is a complete and utter tit. I am nearly 100% sure the v8 in that car comes from an Aston Martin. Another so-called "all American" muscle car that has its real roots in another country - looking at none in perticular coughShelbyCobraahemGT40cough



If you make it worth my while I will definitely send some tapes over, and whoever sends me a written off Fireblade can have as many Jeremy Clarkson/Tiff Nedel/Top Gear tapes as they want , but I don't think our VHS videos will work in the states.

That car in amazing, all or you people that knock on that car have never driven a corvette c5. The LS1 is as delightful a motor as you can get. It pulls from the top, it pulls from the middle, it pulls everywhere. I was in austraila about 4 years ago and had the pleasure of driving a commodore and a monaro. I cant wait till the GTO comes out



You cannot, i repeat, you cannot **** with a small block chevy. best motor EVER created, period.







yes, better than any rotoray mo-tar
