I agree with him on his greatest sounding sports car comment. The sound the carrera gt produces is just unreal.

I love his commentary on flappy paddles.

Just needs straight pipes.

Very nice clip. Spin was scary. He seems to like the car very much. Does he own a McLaren F1 as well?

great find. my fav car ever built, hands down. everything is perfection on the CGT. that spin looked real scary, and wouldnt want ot be in that position, ever. i like that he actually said he was a not a fan of paddle shift.

Awesome find. I had no idea the CGT was that much car, being placed 2nd to the Mclaren in Jay's opinion. And I'd imagine he's driven cars like the Enzo and F40 too, to make that judgement. Pretty cool.

I saw him today when I got off the 5 freeway on Sunland, he was driving an old long red car, almost like the tank car he has,. Screamed Jay and gave him the thumbs up, he gave thubs up back.

I have been trying to find the BIG DOG GARAGE around here in Burbank but no luck.

He has a lot of tact, otherwise he'd be saying F U to all the people who cried about that clutch. Nobody who owns a Carrera GT I know, or at least no real enthusiast that owns one, has ever had anything bad to say about it. The poseurs with their new 1/2 million dollar car that don't know jack about driving and the magazine-racers who've never driven one are the only people who cry about the clutch.

On a different note, you guys see his face in the interview after the spin at Talladega. He was definately shooken up, but like a true comedian, he mustered a sarcastic remark in there
