Rory Reid gave the 2015 GT a rather lackluster review last time the s550 was shown on Top gear. It's probably a good thing that he's not in the GT350.
The GT350 is a completely different car, especially the R

This and he also cannot drive either. Which is probably why they gave him the least power AWD car. :D

Well .... absolutely no doubt about which car sounded the best! The F-Type was nice, the McLaren was hands down the best car (as it should be for the money), but F:censored:K! - I want a GT350R! (without the Hennessey mods please)..... :headbang:

Enjoyed this episode, it's still painful to watch the forced script but the content was good...and oh my god that GT350 sounds glorious :love:

Show was pretty good, did they invent chain car racing or does it exist? More Sabine please but let her drive not mouth some forced script.

WARNING. If you let Sabine Scmidt drive your Mustang be prepared for your drivers seat to squeak afterwards. I think it has something to do with those firm German thighs and high speed cornering.

See the video below which probably explains why my seat squeaks after it came back from Top Gear.

There is another one on the net somewhere with another journalist looking perplexed.

I saw the episode on catch-up last night. It's painful to watch to be honest and the scripting and interaction between them just seems so wooden.

I'm with the general consensus though... the GT350R sounded so good!

How many people noticed that Matt Le Blanc managed to rip the lower front splitter off the GT350R before he'd even got out of the canyon (it reappeared later - but this could be down to editing and it probably being filmed in a different order)?

That was John Hennessey's own personal GT350R they used.

Another appearance of it here, much better soundtrack than on Top Gear :)

And the man himself having a long chat about all sorts car wise while driving an HPE850.

We had Hennessey tune a Dodge RAM SRT10 for us a few years ago , never had any issues with them and the truck was mental when we got it !

think its the best its been for years, feel the 3 are getting very relaxed, and Chris Harris is just brilliant, with Matt
Extra Gear is also good
Grand Tour is the same old stuff with the 3 Dinosaurs and the same tired sexist jokes
