I miss the days when Top Gear was actually still a show for car enthusiasts. Now it's just an entertainment show for a general audience with a little bit of car reviews here and there. =(
I totaly agree, I think there is far to much messing on top gear now, it does my head in all the stupid shit that they do now. Bring back the cars top gear
Porsche went hideously wrong with its design of the 996.
The body was a grotesque distortion of the model's purity, and, especially in the GT2, the handling was a sickly mix of sloppiness tempered with crudely dialled-in understeer.
The 911 is a sublime statement of popular mechanical art, and Porsche must never again forsake the derivative cues of the body design that honour the original, exquisitely simple air-cooled beetle platform.
you have no idea what you're talking about, most experts believe that every single 911 before the 996 was terrible. it took them forty years, but the engineers finally made the car work with the engine with the back in the 996, and perfected it with the 997.
can't wait for the 998.
and btw, idk what you're talking about with looks. apart from the headlights, you can't tell this 911 apart from the 997.
Ironically, you have very little idea about the real world and you live through people who you call experts. In real life, I am an expert, and whereas you watch Fifth Gear and dream about driving 911s, I've done so for years. I can make the comparisons that you say experts have made and I can tell you that the 996 GT2 was a dog.
Regarding the looks, as I've demonstrated above, it's best that you don't question what I say. If I say it was grotesque, it was grotesque. Everyone's happy that way.
wow, first of all, i wasn't aware that porsche's were sold in zimbabwe. but, judging from your dictatorship style comments, i assume you are mugabe himself.
Racist! Of course they're sold in Zimbabwe! Racist!
I think that just proves that you deserve a little visit from the Police Of Light yourself, merely for your incorrect comments about Porsche if not for the crime of besmirching the name of our great living force of emancipation: President Alfred Mugabe.
do you expect that you are going to go anywhere quickly that sideways. Mabe your boss should replace you with a professional race driver to show us what a car can really do.
This is old Top Gear before the BBC canceled it in 2001.
(Channel 5 then hired some of the former Top Gear presenters ( Tiff and Vicki) and relaunched the show as 5th gear because the BBC was wise enough to not sell the name Top Gear.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
i dunno, but i think porches are ugly as shit, and they havent changed their styling.
but very good engineered vehicle tho. fast and handling. i'd love to own one, but i just like the styling. it looks the same as a 80s porsche. C5 and new viper are so much more meaner looking.
if you look wikipedia youl see tiff even started an f1 race... tells you how good the guy is. hes there cause hes a driver and know is shiznit. I do prefer the new top gear format, even tough i prefer tiff output on the cars, fun over function i guess
who the hell is Tiff Needell?? More important who would name their kid Tiff... lol Jeremy, Richie, and James. nothin against him, but I only been watching top gear for about 6 months. I dont know this guy. (USA and top gear isnt popular)
I think that you mean that Clarkson is a better comedian and antogonist. I am pretty sure thats what you meant to say. Clarkson is NOT a car reviewer.. Tiff is a real car racer and enthusiast.. He knows what he is doing. I trust his opinion more.. Clarkson is just a whitty journalist that works for a TV station and sometimes uses slanted and idiotic babble.
i think clarkson is a car reviewer actually, for a start he does times online, and his reviews there are very informative, but he makes them entertaining at the same time.
frankly, tiff needell may be a better driver, but he's a boring old fart. look at top gear's ratings since he left and they started pissing about and making it fun
fifth gear is the one for all the boring old men who get excited over vicki butler henderson. who isnt good looking. and she likes motorbikes. eughhh
cool

The 911 is a sublime statement of popular mechanical art, and Porsche must never again forsake the derivative cues of the body design that honour the original, exquisitely simple air-cooled beetle platform.
For this reason, the 997 is close to perfection.

Needell is such a better driver than Clarkson. Just look at how he seamlessly straightens out of the oversteer. Just beautiful.
and lol @ calling the turbo practical. And the word is practical, not practability.

the details he gave about the car are not true it does 0-60 in 3.6 and top speed 205 miles/h meaning 329km/h
