    The cars aren't good competitors for each other, imo.

    I'd like to see an American muscle shoot-out of sorts, comparing the Z06 Corvette, Dodge Viper SRT-10 and the Ford GT. Maybe have an F430 and 997 911 Turbo set the benchmark and see if the yanks can match the pace.

    I know they did, I've got that issue. While C&D can review a car, Top Gear can make it entertaining. I'd rather see a Top Gear style comparison of the cars.

    Clarkson has driven and tested the 997 turbo, and he has written a review in the Sunday times, but hasnt been filemd yet, or so I presume. Normally, the cars he review on topgear do not have separate test runs by him for sunday times

    Clarkson tested it one week after he tested the Gallardo Spyder, and in his article he even talks about its track performance, so I suppose that he has made a test for TG.
