Velociraptor on Top Gear America
I know I'm a little late with this, but what did you guys think of Tanner Foust's review of the Hennessy Velociraptor on Top Gear America?
Sure, it was a total ripoff of TG UK's review of the Porsche Cayenne a few years ago, but this doesn't mean it wasn't still awesome, right? A Velociraptor racing a HALO jumper is pretty epic. |
That was definitely a good episode. There is a on-going debate about the show copying the original, but cool is still cool :)
|
very cool...

Yeah, that's a problem that TG:USA is going to run into as long as it lives, I'm afraid. But you're right. Cool is still cool. Try to find a better US based car show. No, they're not as funny as Clarkson/Hammond/May, and yes, they copy some of their ideas, but it's still a cool show. The more Top Gear, the better.
Clarkson, Hammond and May are a pretty amusing bunch. And so far I haven't seen USA show anything as funny as the Reliant Robin test drive haha. That was absolutely hilarious! |
I love those Raptors!
I really don't dream of newer car or trucks, well expect having a new Raptor! I think , what, 410 stock HP Fun Fun FFFFun!! |

It makes me want one. There aren't to many trucks that can get me excited like the raptor does every time I see one.
|
I would love to see a race with Hammond going in a Bower and Faust in a Velociraptor...
I know that they have done a UK vs Aussie and UK vs Germany Top Gear...I would love to give Clarkson a large plate of crow to eat. :) |
Yeah, TGUK vs TGUSA would be amazing. It would certainly boost TGUSA's popularity, which would be great.

I think the idea for a TG US vs TG UK episode just got better...
Saw the TG UK facebook feed on the Mustang Boss 302...they are saying, in a nutshell, its the American version of the M3 CSL...and its a bit quicker. :) |
@db_tanker Yeah, actually Ford Racing targeted the M3 when they designed the Boss 302. And it is quicker than the M3 around Laguna Seca.
I wrote an article about it, if you want to check it out. The Boss: And I Don’t Mean Springsteen | Street Side Auto Blog |
