Depends on the Roush... Sport version is basically a bodykit and you work your way up from there with stage 1,2 and 3.. then theres a couple other models I have no clue about. A roadster I think and one made for the track.
I was really looking forward to this episode. The only decent segment was the boss vs roush. If they wanted to compare the 3 muscle cars (5.0, Camaro SS, and Challenger SRT8) then they should have executed solid tests like straight line, track and breaking and not some f*$k a@# cone course while strapped to a electromagnetic TENS unit. I really wanted to see the true difference of the 2012 muscle car line-up. However, Tanner drifting around that corner in the Utah desert was absolutely sick!
It wasn't a surprise to me, the track is really twisty. I thought it was shameful that they lost the race against the horses... Tanner needs to stop trying to be cool.

Mustang and Camaro = Pony Cars, Challenger = Muscle car. The Boss 302 (new and classic) and pretty much all modern GT's have gained a lot of notoriety on the road course and to be honest drag races are not entertaining to watch which explains why it's not on a show designed for entertainment. I would rather see tests around a skid pad, autocross course (some f*$k a@# cone course) and road course than a 1/4 mile test.
As for needing trick and built suspension to participate on a roadcourse, hardly. A stock 2005+ GT handles quite well on a roadcourse in stock trim. It's biggest limiting factor is the tires and that is true for a drag race too.
You talking about BBC America Top Gear or Top Gear America? I can't stand Top Gear America with Tanner. I like Tanner but the few times i stopped to watch the show for a few mintues, the chemistry was forced and they tried to make it too much like BBC America Top Gear.
I like Tanner too, he is an awesome driver. But, I also can't stand Top Gear America. It's poorly done compared to the BBC guys.
Anyone have a video link? I'd like to watch this episode and this episode only.
