For track use get whatever is easiest to put a >1.25" thick brake rotor on. A stockish Evo9 with an AP Racing competition kit would probably be my choice. Track racing with stock brakes sucks on anything and everything at any price range. That is if you really mean track use, and not just putting around a lap or…

As a DSM/Honda guy..........stock transfer cases on DSM's and stock diff's on Honda's are super weak points. I mean REALLY weak.

I've always thought the BMWs looked like crap, that one not excluded. It's got your typical mustached British dude face (that pretty much every BMW has, though this picture accentuates it well) with boring side lines (seriously, you have a typical roofline, a typical straight line for the handles that serves little…

I think you're confusing the term "boring" with "classy". The CTS (in my opinion) is a very elegant looking car, whereas the 5-series is very common-looking.

And a less responsive throttle and less 'Murica sound...

At least Pearl Harbor was a military target. What I think was more of a "dick move" was the bomb balloons that they sent across the Pacific, one of which blew up a family on pick-nick in Oregon. The idea of noncombatants was lost on pretty much everyone in WWII, the "good war."

Let's not forget who was the asshole first...

if the c6 was taken out to the track instead of the crossfire it would have easily beaten the others. That is unless they would have rigged it otherwise. This show has always been heavily biased against American cars.

Best Motoring exists in the no man's land between being objective and being entertaining. The bias is comically obvious and the show isn't very fun to watch. Top Gear gets away with playing it less than straight because most people realize it's not some Consumer Reports style documentary. Here I'll quote Jack Baruth:

Sterling Whitworth-Spanner

Not a Chevy fanboy, but this is an extremely unfair comparison. A 400 HP Corvette is harder to drive at the limit than an S2000? Uh, no shit?

True, but to be fair the Corvette was it's hardest edged in normal form in the year '84 (with the Z51) after years of being a boulevard cruiser. It became softer but faster each following year. While things were made a little more comfortable in '85 and '86, they were built to kick ass in showroom stock (against 3.2…

Good old Best Motoring. Anything not Japanese is a pile of shit.

Iwaswonderofwonders has kidney for sale. (The good one.)

@LandofMinos, In Soviet Australia, internet censors you: I read a study a few years ago that claimed that most trolls are old retired people. I think it had something to do with being bored, and not having achieved anything noteworthy in active life.
