yup, yet another instance of them either just being stupid or they are just trying to make the car look bad to people who dont really know about it.

Here's a 28 minute interview with the hosts about the show on Fox Car Report.

http://video.foxnews.com/v/4425688/f...ylist_id=87491


Some of the segments they talked about doing in the show sounds like it will be interesting, but I still don't have much hope for the hosts themselves bringing much to the table. But, they do have a hard act to follow. And, for whoever asked a few posts ago, they mention that they do have a Stig.

It was about what I thought it would be. So it will be a while before the hosts really get into the groove of the show. As far as the driving, that was pretty bad *** to be honest. I can't argue that Tanner isn't a good driver. Seems like their Stig is **** good behind the wheel as well.

It's just Ben Collins post "I'm the Stig" era! Hahhaa

That was one that really tweaked me. I was like, you're really just out to make this car look bad. Comparing WHP to flywheel HP is an idiot move. Almost like it was a scripted thing. I knew it wasn't going to be the HP as rated. And I'm not THAT well acquainted a car guy.
