Yea, it works. I've seen it, probably here. Not a fan of Corvettes drifting but Tanner is entertaining.

Really? He's such a euro snob it's annoying to listen to him for long

What a shock on the red/blue video . No way he was driving the blue car as hard.

Loved the video.....

UNTIL the point where they left an actual racetrack.. and headed to the "streets of Detroit" to have a competitive race? Are you effing kidding me? Thats like judging a who has the best beef contest.. and leaving Ruth Chris to go McDonalds & Burger King. And if that wasnt bad enough, on the last lap he magically gains 3 seconds in the All Driver car and beats the PTM mode car. What a joke.

Quite possibly the absolute dumbest comparison I've ever seen. Atleast the real Top Gear (UK) would have used the Stig on their controlled test track to see which mode was faster. PTM vs. All Driver. Just when I was ready to get TG USA another try.. watching this video has pretty much killed that curiosity.

Great to see the car put through its paces, thanks for the link.

I'll watch it again with my computer aided Tanner yapping controls on full.

SOOOOOOO....

He outran himself with traction control OFF, even after he lost ~20 yards drifting the car from the start.

Faster then a professional drive? hah. I also agree with the stig comment. I cant stand the American top gear.
