MX5 vs Greyhound challenge - Top Gear - BBC

[MaikolSouLew]

going to search "terrier chasing cat" after this video

[earlbeau123]

Of course the dog beat the car,. You would too if you were running for your life. Once she starts losing she will eventually be murdered by her owners if she can't be adopted which is unlikely. Did you know greyhounds are the only animal raised strictly as a commodity for our amusement and when their done or to slow, euthanized after a sad and lonely existence.

Lets put that on Top gear! Adopt an ex-racer today!!

[RexRocker1979]

Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory music starts playing at 4:57.  Cool.

[MagusFerox]

Race starts up around 4:40 :)

[onlyweknow2]

Just got a retired racing greyhound, it's a cool dog.

[DobeDobyDo]

@onlyweknow2 Congrats on your Grey. I had one for 11 years! My 90lb brindle male was the best dog I've ever had. Treat him/her well and you'll have years of great companionship.

[misterthingy]

@onlyweknow2 Agreed! Got mine xmas day. And I used to have a Miata.

[eggfromsywell]

Don't understand why mazda didn't put a 13B engine in a MX5, would have been a really fast car

[MrFredHoogendoorn]

@eggfromsywell Reliability probably 

[PalingLcw]

how much metres did the dog run ?

[michaelpoczynek]

excellent video... I had no idea those dogs were that fast.

[damienhugh]

I Notice they focused on the graffiti and the burned out cars up the Dublin Mountains....

It's not really that bad up there

[joshtheff]

@MetalBru01 I think he said "fastest accelerating.."

[comicgenius21]

Man's invention 0

God's Invention 1

[lalealynn]

@comicgenius21 Wel in fairness greyhounds were bred to be what they are by Humans:-)

[3teethleft]

@comicgenius21 are u sayig god has invented the dog?

[comicgenius21]

@3teethleft: well technically he did, when he created the earth, and all the evolution stages and eventually (in time) a greyhound emerges.....

[bludgerable]

@comicgenius21 i respect your beliefs but personally i believe its nature's 'invention'

[comicgenius21]

@bludgerable well, with out god they would be no nature to inspire much... I respect your argument and comment too.... thanks for sharing it....... :-)

[comicgenius21]

@3teethleft To be honest, I would have used the word "created" rather than invented....

Thanks for pointing that out :-)

[DizzyMan24]

I wonder what the car would be like if you dropped a chev 350 under the hood? I'd do it.

Anyone care to try?

[AmericanStiggy]

@DizzyMan24 Its the monster miata. People put 5.0L mustang v8s in them

[Primedavis1234]

I like cats, they can drift!

[Paulpunkrocks]

Warning: Don't watch TG videos when you're sick, it'll make you really dizzy and it'll make you want to throw up from all the angles and house music!

[poketraderjack]

Jeremy would have won...

[SHOCK2944]

lol turnin animal's in2 car's lol

[FLAME4564]

XD LOL out of all the Top Gear vids ive watched on this site this is the most hilarious time for Hammond and Clearkson to be using car theories on animals like dogs and hyenas XD LMAO

[dibi203]

this is so fucked up. even cars are fast they always lose by something slower...

[Kokosiak1]

understeeing hyena :D

[VanDiESEL619]

ever since I first saw this car, 7years ago in nfs underground, I think I've tried to think of something wrong with it an nothing, brilliant, can't wait to buy one. also that bags of crisps never get's old :)):))

[MetalBru01]

The greyhound isn't the 2nd fastest animal in the world. It's not even tenth!

[VanDiESEL619]

@MetalBru01 he said 2nd fastest accelerating, not fastest full stop. there's a difference ;)

[MetalBru01]

@VanDiESEL619 Oh ok. But I they're the fastest domestic dog though.

[VanDiESEL619]

@MetalBru01 umm I guess, I cant imagine any other dog going that fast, maybe that drifting terrier they talk at the end lol :))

[Tjufta]

Praise zi regisseur! :D

[cookie4me]

GO DOGGIES!!! hahaha

[iseered22]

wow I can't spell they**** . I love this clip though go greyhounds!!

[iseered22]

everyone who loves dogs should boycott greyhound racing, the dogs are horribly abused, and when the owners are done with then most of the time the are killed and disposed of. My family adopted an ex racer and she is the sweetest dog ever she is a little messed up though. I'm referring to the racing in the states though maybe the do it different in ireland I don know

[min1monster]

Lol "so a hyena under-steers, and a dog oversteers, so you want a Mazda mx5 because its rear wheel drive

[will1ceberuthl3ss]

u guys should get the citroen gt!!!!!!!!!!!!'

[ostime14]

why have i never seen this?

[MrDenden94]

w00t lol u wana mazada mx5 coz its rwd XD

[jazmyn594]

1:23 "For that, you get quite a lot more car. It's longer, and wider. It has more airbags.... That all sounds great!"

Remember that in Albanian, 'car' means 'penis'

xD

[Braedie1]

Greyhound lovers unite!

[mustachos1993]

An evo would have propably won it :P

[axlplayer14]

@mustachos1993 Who cares. The mx5 isnt about being the quickest its about the most fun.

[DobeDobyDo]

If you came here looking for Greyhounds, then click this 4:57

[Bammer2001]

The first time I've seen Richard Hammond was from Brainiac: Science Abuse where my Science teacher in 2009 showed us a video about the strength of alkali metals when they react with water. They say that francium is the strongest, but they weren't able to take a sample because it is a highly reactive metal that upon reaction, its center force is the fraction of a huge amount of TNT.

[nayeem05]

yes.... perfectly sound tog gear logic.... nothing wrong with that..

[al2ka]

he said nort to 60

[timetrialracer]

@al2ka

Actually it's naught to 60, naught being 0. Just like bonnet is hood, boot is trunk, etc, etc, etc...

[bananowyjestemsobie]

"This car is perfect for racing a dog on the track". That's just what I've always needed :DDD

[lils846]

first is the cheetah....but theyre a bit scary.....

[DEADTORIGHTSRACING]

20:1 says put ken block in the mazda and you beat the dog lol

[cumaroz28]

@DEADTORIGHTSRACING 100:1 says he crashes and does some stupiud promotional filming

[pawlenko09]

[aciidphreeek]

[TheNarutoFtw]

[TheNCenergy]

@TheNarutoFtw and the pacific ocean



[mejasond]

@TheNCenergy Wow. Bravo...just...bravo *sarcastic slow clap* :(

[djamptronr]

always remember hyenas are front wheel drive

[ASajewicz]

Its sad that you gave greyhound racing publicity. They deserve none.

[MyJJ75]

@ASajewicz

Agree. Very sad indeed. Maybe if he knew what happens to the greyhounds he wouldent have endorsed it.

[rachelsbeauty]

@ASajewicz greyhound racing needs all the publicity it can it is a great sport and the greyhounds are looked after soo well....get your facts right before you post

[hajenchri]

that's the infamous "Zoom Zoom" road!

[Alpacajon]

6:22

HOLY.....

[cyberbuddy777]

Guys believe me, this is a car that is parked everyday in front of my class window, but i never noticed it!

[Sasori327]

@cyberbuddy777 me too! theres a silver one parked between the peguots, and i still dont seem to notice it

[cyberbuddy777]

@Sasori327 These teachers are rich

[zomgtehrei]

/. sent me

[kicksoffs]

I want a dog cause i already got the maxda mx5 roadster

[1967norway]

Weight is critical in the design of sportscars. 1,095 kg (2006-present) is quite a bit more than 940 (1989-1997). It makes no sense that the new cars weigh more. It's not a positive development.

[wolfking1151]

@1967norway

You got a point.. its all due to the increase in creature comforts and safety i guess.. plus i really like that it is a hard top convertible. Im ok with the added weight just for that feature.

[Fitsmaurice]

holy crap!!

[KaosGal]

Adopt a greyhound! Our family did and we have never been happier! They are amazing animals. And they're not hyper, as you may think. When there's no rabbit to chase, they are probably one of the laziest animals ever. They're great!

[Genevieve1023]

@KaosGal  I'm glad I came across your comment. I saw someone with a miniature Greyhound on the street the other day. I thought it was the most beautiful dog ever, and I've been thinking of adopting one ever since.

[plumbinggurl]

67% of the people who buy this car in America are homosexual males. I don't blame them. They're cute!

[Oakleaf700]

that extreme acceleration 0-45 mph in 1 second explains the huge bruise on my leg when a greyhound [a rescue dog] I was releasing off her lead used my legs as a starting block. the force of her accelaration knocked me backwards. These hounds are real Queens of Speed, even the slow ones are fast. A split second is what separates a champ from an 'also ~ran' but in pet terms they are all winners.

[MadamPolly]

adopt a retired greyhound: very sweet and very entertaining :)

[XNarutoX67]

Mazda... Give The Next Gen MX-5 The RX8 Rotary Engine = BEST ROADSTER EVER!!

[trentonexcavation]

greyhounds can reach up to 70 km/h

[Liqtor]

@trentonexcavation And since BBC and TopGear are based in the Brittish Empire, they use the imperial measurement.

As stated in the video they dog can reach speeds of up to 45 mph. Thats about 70 kph.

So I'm a stupid git for making a third clarification to your second one. Good times.

[topiboyz]

remember, never use machine against fangs

[chefonios]

jinba ittai

[davidhawk19]

if i lean like the dog does maybe itll help . it didnt

[DominoBitchez]

i think my greyhound might be distently related to mama teana ? is that how you spell it

[Disciple1818]

3:00 5:00 and 5:32 = splinter cell chaos theory music

[gorganthon]

pause at 5:15 now thats scary

[The2010camaro]

That car is perfect size for Richard. lol

[psnChozoLord]

Wow the whole video contained Amon Tobin songs which is awesome.

[RnB123100]

really anal stuff,lol i had 2 say it!

[08LUND]

HAHA I thought by the title Hammond was going to race a bus !! HAHA

[NinjaPeter7]

i love this episode

[schlusselmensch]

So after decades of model evolution, it can cover ground almost as fast as a mid 60's Elan DHC? Incredible.

[CJacuzzi]

@schlusselmensch It's not trying to beat a 60s Elan - it's just an affordable, fun sports car. A Fiesta Zetec 1.25 also can't beat a 60s Elan, it doesn't mean Ford motor design is regressing

[schlusselmensch]

@CJacuzzi An affordable, fun sports car for girls, I assume you meant to say?

Disclaimer; The above is just a wind up and in not too many ways reflects the views of this station.

[CJacuzzi]

@schlusselmensch What can I say, women and gay hairdressers have damn good taste: fact!

[schlusselmensch]

@CJacuzzi Haha, good one.

[ZerooOne01]

Splinter Cell:Chaos Theory soundtrack...

[wayfarin]

@ZerooOne01

aka amon tobin

[heavyseven88]

cars use gears, land animals use muscles, birds use GRAVITY, BIRDS don't fly up that fast..............

[TheFritzter1]

I for one love that you used the music from the Splinter Cell soundtrack By: Amon Tobin. Plus I have a 90 Miata MX-5 and I much prefer it to the newer MX-5's because its so much lighter and simple. Plus you can do a lot of customization to really take the car to the next level. But every time I pull up to a Mazda dealership they try to get me to buy a new MX-5.

[SlightlyOffTrackProd]

my dad has an MX5

[mashville100]

Ive got this car with the Eibach prokit and full Milltek exhaust,Totally transforms the driving experience.

[firestormpcs]

wrong. fastest accelerating animal is the paragon falcon

[megailadan]

@firestormpcs paragon falcon???? thats not an animal........

[schlusselmensch]

@megailadan Although for a goofy name mistake, it fits quite well, doesn't it?

[TheCrazy135]

@firestormpcs O.o do you mean peregrine falcon?

[kozigreek]

@firestormpcs land animal? lol...

[KaosGal]

@firestormpcs

they mean land animal, and the paragon falcon is basically free-falling, and using gravity to propel itself to the ground. do you see birds running, not using their wings to help? no, they're not designed for running. so they're not classified as a land animal.

[1967norway]

Some birds are land animals. An Ostrich can run at 45 mph, and can maintain 30 mph for up to 20 minutes.

[KaosGal]

@1967norway ahhh, true true. sorry, i forgot. but most birds aren't liek the ostritch

[espjuan]

@1967norway but is it rear wheel drive?

[ratonL]

lol...Crouching Kitten, Hidden Hippo...

[Ryoku75]

They should have left the Mx5 like this, it was atleast okay looking, but nope Mazda had to slap on their Peugot copied smile... which looks ugly on Mazdas.

[33Ona]

i love greyhounds <3

this is why you cannot let them the off the leash

[GoblinBomb]

It should be noted that you don't have to get the mentioned traction control to get other good stuff. Mine has the suspension package, LSD, and 6-speed manual with NO DSC. Owns.

[Monkmaster1969]

My Grey can beat a Cheetah in the first 50 yards!

[JFCPantheras]

@Monkmaster1969 before being eaten by the cheetah

[martin4tdi]

haha I would love 2 see the Stig drive the mx5 against the dog....major slides....not to mention what old Tiff would do with it...lol

[MustangsCanTurnToo]

@martin4tdi I want to see the Stig drive the dog. 

[Monkmaster1969]

Now you know why I rescued my Grey!

SAVE A LIFE: RESCUE A GREYHOUND"

You will never be sorry!

[ryan187100]

crouching kitten hdden hippo LMAO

[coldfuzionzxx]

what yr is the mx 5 ?

[Qglicz]

original 1990, second generation 1997, this one is the third was released in 2005

[osmosis7919]

some much about animals- hyenas understeer lol

[abnkkbsnplq]

great choice of dog for catching down a running thief :D

[rikisaltacorp]

if i had one of those dogs i'd throw a ball as far as i could, and when he comes back i'd hug him because it's cold as hell!

[SpottedPlatypus]

Haha it does sound a little crouching kitten hidden hippo

[AlloutStigGT5]

definatly reminds me of two stoners having an argument while watching the discovery channel at the end of this video hahaha!

[stalingrenhatten]

would love to see a WRC car vs a cheetah

[christopher25138]

Thats My Dog Tina Being Honest There She has got a sister called Penny!

[Andrei1900]

nice slides

[moonfox3]

that poor dog, dog racing is sick

[jin12345678]

@moonfox3 why oh why

[GeneralMazaki]

@moonfox3

The dog is doing what it likes to do. Run.

Does the animal look tortured to you?

[TestECull]

7:45 is when it gets good.

[Miike92]

would of won with a honda s2k

[GeneralMazaki]

@Miike92

He needed more grip, not power.

[Miike92]

@GeneralMazaki well the s2k can provide more of both

[samartz]

aaaahhhh,,,richard hammond has short hair!!!!!

[declan215]

Does anybody know the song at 4:10?

[1alaing]

@declan215 Primal Scream, Moving on Up!

[iK21295]

terrier oversteers O_o

[emoboi345]

A CAT IS AWD....JUST LIKE A SUBARU IMPREZA OR MITSUBISHI EVO.....

[chuckles1252]

my dad's a bit of a moron. he bought a 2004 mini s convertible with the 6-speed manual. he loves it and it serves him well, but i think that in that price range, the two cars like that i would consider the most would be the golf gti mk5 and this, the mazda miata mx 5. you can get the touring edition with a 6-speed manual, suspension package and aero package for less. if ur not too wild about a rwd roadster, than the gti mk5 is simply, the best fwd car u can get today for that price.

[Magitia]

i wonder who would of won on asphalt?

[lvrpl09]

LOL beati dogu :')

[colpi23]

wait? wtf?!

[vkotis]

the MK1 and MK2 are way better. sexier and better handling.

[SpartanDara117]

So i should buy a greyhound instead of an MX5?

[dtihkse]

i recognize the music from splinter cell chaos theory
