The Dangerous Ten
Jeremy Clarkson selected the ten most exciting/fastest cars he has ever thrown around a track...

10: Noble M12 GT0-3R 170mph

"In a world obsessed with image, you can’t beat a Porsche. But in a world obsessed with time, a Porsche is a library. A TVR is the internet. And the Noble is broadband"

9: Aston Martin V8 Vantage 175mph. £51,500.

"Thanks to heavy steering, heavy brakes and a heavy six-speed manual gearbox, they’ve made the syllabub-light body feel like a meat pie. The 911 is for nancy boy racing drivers. The Aston’s for gentleman thugs"

8: Chevrolet Corvette C6 180mph. £52,595.

"This car has a head-up display, just like you get in an F-16 fighter. It’s fantastic. Whole bus queues are hidden behind the digital speed read-out, which is going to make for some wonderful insurance claims"

7: Vauxhall Monaro VXR 185mph. £36,995.

"Think of it as an Aussie from the outback. Maybe he can’t quote Shakespeare. Maybe he’s never heard of Terence Conran. But he can smash all the teeth clean out of your mouth with a single punch. That's the Monaro"

A BMW M5 ahead of a Lambo? And no Ferraris?

Here we go ... Now every Audi and Lexus fan will say Clarkson is on crack. When the last review of the LS460 the Lexus fans, thought he spoke the truth ... lol

List of cars to be decommissioned prior to build out. You don't want to be seen in a sissy car...you wanna a real man's car don't you?

Wow...no Ferrari's but the list included 2 GM's. I've never driven any of these cars, so how could I argue, but I'm shocked.

Hmm... I am very impressed that he chose to put the M5 on the list! He usually use every oppotunity to tell us why BMW makes the worst cars on the planet and how they single handedly caused WWII and everything bad that ever happened!
Also, I don't get why there is no Ferrari, not even the Enzo! It easily out handles, out accelerates, out speeds many of the cars on the list!

I call this powt "The day sevorbeupstry stood stupid"

Some things are worth researching a little before you start pointing fingers and calling people names... Here is the original list, straight out of "the times" where JC happens to be a columnist and did a "The dangerous ten"

Boy do you feel stupid now!

Not even the Mercedes SLR is on this list, a car which, if I remember correctly, he was very impressed with.

I to am surprised that there's no Ferraris. In fact, I've heard in just gush over the F430. I'm also surprised that the Zonda F isn't there either. Personnally I think it has one of the most intoxicating exhaust notes in the world as well as the fastest lap time on Top Gear's track.

Yearh... But the problem is that this is Jeremy Clarksons list, and he hates Ferrari after he had 355 which had quite a few problems and he has never been a big fan of the Zonda... But since the list is made by JC you can't expect it to be even slightly objective! The Gallardo Spyder is only there because he just bought one and is probably trying to suck up to Lamboghini to get it sooner... But I agree that at least one Ferrari should be on the list!

I wouldn't have expected his list to look like this... I love Aston Martin but they're not necessarily the greatest track stars.

Also I'm surprised he put the M5 on his list seeing as he hates Bimmers
