S2, E1: Clarkson’s in the USA to find out if the country that gave us Fast Food and the Fast Buck make a decent Fast Car? In fact, can they make any decent cars at all? He pitches the best of the West against Europe’s finest. The Stig’s along for the ride too as he puts the BMW Z4M head to head with the mighty Dodge Viper SRT 10. And the little Lotus Exige against a tuned Mustang. He also puts the 200mph Corvette Z06 through its paces alongside the Cadillac XLRV, the Ford GT and its topless cousin, the GT X1. He finds out what would happen in a car chase if a big American police cruiser were to set off in pursuit of an Ariel Atom. (This bit’s quite short!) And he floods an old Jaguar and a Lincoln with water, tears two Buicks into pieces... races a Mustang horse against a Mustang car… and uses high explosives to make his very own Star Spangled Banger.
