However its kind of hard to call a car chaotic, violent, and out of control.

I think they've done that with some of the over-powered Mercedes.

Vauxhall Vectra: "This was the 4th Fastest 4door saloon on the market and it has the worst understeer you could ever imagine. This is scary from such a fast car."

It almost killed the Stig

The Brabus Biturbo V12 Merc, and the Koenigsegg CCX. The Koenigsegg was the one that went off the track at 100 mph and “ate” part of the tire barriers.

I’m actually surprised that Hammond said what he said. That’s definitely more of a Clarkson line for sure. Seems like he’s always the one to say the controversial stuff, except for the French-bashing, which Captain Slow gleefully participates in.

And for as much grief as they give America and Americans, I think secretly at least Clarkson and Hammond like it here. I’ve seen the special where they came back to the US and went from the Blue Ridge Parkway down here in NC, took a drive at North Wilkesboro Speedway and Virginia International Raceway, and on up to New York. They genuinely seemed to be having a good time in North Wilkesboro with the locals, even if “they only spoke hillbilly.” :)

Yeah I think it was the Merc C63 AMG, Jeremy called it an axe murderer if the stability control was turned off IIRC, was a couple of seasons ago. Not sure why the Mexicans didn't get upset at that, seems to describe many of the happenings there quite well also ;)

I so love TG, hope they don't back down, they haven't yet on many other 'incidents' :)
