CO Boss 302 spotted on Top Gear US...

Anyone else watch Sunday's episode of Top Gear on the History channel and see the Comp Orange Boss 302 next to what looks to be a new silver and blue Roush?

I was watching the part where the Stig was getting a lap around their test track in the 2011 STI, and caught at one corner a line up of cars in the background, and a CO/black Boss next to a silver and blue Roush, then a few other random cars, and then their little Suzuki car they put celebrities in, so it appears those are the cars they use for filming.

I havent seen a list of the remaining episodes, but I am hoping they do something cool with those two cars!!


EDIT: I found this on History channel for this past weeks episode..... but the "two mustangs" part wasn't in this past episode? wondering if they are doing it next week?

Hollywood Cars

Premiere Date: 09/18/2011Tanner, Rutledge and Adam create versions of their favorite Hollywood cars and then pit them against each other to see whose is best. Tanner and Rutledge race a horse and two Mustangs through the Utah desert.

Didn't notice the cars on the track, but noticed the discription. Was really unhappy when I didn't see any Mustangs during the episode.

Looks like a Cadillac CTS-V Coupe and a Dodge Magnum SRT on either side of them...

That would be an interesting comparison!
(So long as 1 test involves carrying 12, 8x2x2's, an amp and a ladder! )

the picture quality isnt that good, but it's actually a CTS-V coupe and CTS-V wagon, from last weeks episode.

I enjoyed the episode even though I was disappointed in the description stating they were racing Mustangs across Utah, maybe at MMP???

lol, I happen to know they tested that Roush, it was a stage 3 5.0 IIRC. StangTV had the car right after Foust finished with it. i also think that they test a bunch of cars at one time and then run the tests in different episodes so who knows when it will air. that car had to have been tested months ago. the story went live aug 24, we had it a week, and then a bit to get the story up. so that episode woudl have been early august at least.

Top Gear USA had the ROUSH the week before I did and Ford-sponsored drifting extraordinaire Tanner Foust removed 80% of the tread off the Cooper RS3 tires.

Lame. It's only the second season and I'm already board with the US version.

I'm with you on this but my kids love the show. I've been watching The Car Show instead.

Speaking of TGUS... in the opening credits it says Rutledge Wood... "The Expert".

What is he supposed to be an expert in?!?! I have yet to see anything he's an expert with, except maybe where to get cheap flannel shirts.

Speaking of the RS3... there are at least two in Orange County, CA.

I believe the white one is for sale- previous press car.

if you DVR it, and go slow, most of the cars from all the challanges are parked back there, my wife and I had some good laughs trying to remember all of them.
