Great Vid. I've seen that one on Youtube before. Love it! That is quite a statement from Clarkson saying that the 996tt is the best car you can buy (when it was new). He does not like Porsches one bit.

That is a great video. Funny how high the stock car sits; looks like an SUV!! I'm just used to seeing ones that are lowered.

Not sure about the 2011, but he had good things to say about the 997 when it came out.

First time seeing that great video. Maybe Clarkson is starting to respect the Porsche 911 line.

I'm sure he respects it as a car but it makes for better TV for him to always call them suped up Beetles while Hammond is the Porsche fan.

Clarkson also likes to make fun of Germans, and the Turbo is a very German, engineer's car. Ferraris have a slightly different character that is more Italian (even if those have plenty of gizmos these days too).

As a super Top Gear enthusiast myself, I'm sure JC loves Porsches...Every time a new model comes out he mocks it but then he always end up loving it after a test drive.
