    Classic Top Gear: Clarkson Targets The '84 Corvette

    "I'm gonna go hunt me a 'vette!" —Jeremy Clarkson
    In this clasic Clarkson clip, the anti-American Brit bastard takes on a 1984 Chevrolet Corvette, beginning in his review by attacking the suspension snd stiff handling. But his blistering attack doesn't stop there — he also attacks the dreadfully under-powered 205 hp V8 engine — from the air — and with a helicopter gunship. That's right, Jezza centers the '84, piloted by a robot named Hank, right in the crosshairs with a Hughes 500E helicopter with dual gattling guns — each firing 80 bullets per second. Oh noes, Hank! – Ray Wert
