Top Gear testing ZR1 and Challenger SRT-8 in the US
Plus James in a CTS-V.

Caught this over at the Final Gear forums, figured some people here would find it interesting. Photos taken in San Francisco. Looks like they're filming a SF to Bonneville road trip/test. Perhaps with a top speed run?

Is it possible to buy all their seasons? Can't wait to see jeremy's reaction to the ZR1. Always mocking American cars, but even so he like the old CTS-V and the Z06 did put a smile on his face.

My neighbor works with a land speed record team and was at the Bonneville salt flats the same day that Top Gear was filming with these cars. He said the Vette was definitely the faster car. Big Surpise.
