Why muscle cars rock!

[Fireball27]

So many of you probably haven't heard of the program Top Gear, for which you are not to be blamed. Its a british program, although it did air here last year on Discovery (and will again this year with any luck), and its pretty much the best car show on television... period.

This article was written by the show's host: Jeremy Clarkson, a british guy with your typical european mentality towards american cars. In other words he thinks they're crap! None the less you should read this article, its pretty good. Oh and he gets extra credit for mentioning Steve McQueen :D

.........The Hummer is nothing but a GMC Tahoe in a Power Ranger suit. The current Mustang is pretty but wet. The Thunderbird is gay and the 'Vette, though lovely to drive, has lost some of its family tree's sparkle.......

.......To explain. There was only ever one Super Snake Mustang and now it tours the country, amusing people called Bud and Skip. The new Super Snake is made by a 'legendary' company - probably formed in the last two weeks - called Unique Performance.........



....And if you like, they'll fit a supercharger which takes that up to 725bhp. And you don't need that translating. 725bhp renders all the suspension stuff irrelevant because it doesn't matter if it corners at 2mph. With that level of grunt up front, you'll make up time on the straights.......


.....So what I've done is told my mate that it's rubbish. And I'm giving serious thought to buying it myself.......

Bueller's dad didn't own the Ferrari. It was Cameron's father who owned it.
