Top gear USA S04E04

TGUSA S04E04


America's biggest cars from the last century were in the focus from that episode of TGUSA Season 4 and here in Tennessee, the boys are challenging which of America's biggest cars is the best. Rutledge goes for the blinged-up Chevrolet Caprice Classic while Adam opts for the Buick Electra and Tanner goes for the Lincoln Continental Mark IV.

The first challenge involves speed test and with 83mph, Adam and the Electra won the first challenge.

Meanwhile, the boys put their cars' suspension to the test as they cross the railroads and back without making a mess out of their lunch. With Adam forfeited because it might damage the car, and Rut making a mess in his "donk" car and his shorts, guess it's Tanner's...but anyway, with Rut and the donk left, the two guys are off to Nashville for the finale and the winner gets to ride the new Corvette Stingray.

Amazingly, Rut's back to the group and the donk in his Impala's gone and replaced with the small wheels. However, he's not quitting yet because later, he put a boat in the back of his Impala for comical reasons and yes, Adam took Rut's idea and his Electra's armed to the teeth with a grand piano on the roof complete with a pianist! Such stupidity from these two made Tanner send themselves somewhere that what makes the true meaning of a "land barge" and for that...he enlisted The Stig!

Thanks to The Stig, Tanner Foust will be the key person to power test the brand new 2014 Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray.

C7 Corvette Stingray in TGUSA

A great new car deserves a tough challenge and for that, Tanner's heading to Detroit to see if the C7 Corvette is better of with our without traction control. Red goes TCS off while Blue goes TCS on. Don't forget, the C7 Corvette has a Performance Traction Management which GM claims that it's a well advanced Traction Control which lets you have fun without crashing yourself out. It's a C7 with TCS off vs. a C7 with TCS on.

In the end, looks like the one with TCS OFF won against the one with the TCS ON, only just though. Still impressive to compare the new Corvette Stingray's capabilities.
