"I mean, first off, you've got a trans am with artificial intelligence." "It had a British voice for an American car, for some reason." "It could evade police." "It had rockets." "It could go 300 miles an hour." "A Pontiac has never done that." "You've got "the hoff," members only jackets like these" "I mean, it was everything great about the '80s."

"It was an unbelievably big moment for Delorean -- 1985, when Marty McFly looked over to Doc Emmett Brown and said," ""you made a time machine--- out of a Delorean?"" "And the word was immortalized." "Now, as nice as it would have been to use a Delorean for this car," "I mean, for $2,000, obviously you just can't find one." "But the Nissan 200SX has rear-wheel drive." "It's got more of an edgy shape, like the Delorean had." "I was able to get a metallic-silver paint job on the thing." "And it's cheap as hell." "Ferrara:" "This car is an icon -- the general Lee." "I mean, it's one of the most recognizable cars in history." "By 1981, the car was getting fan mail, an average of 35,000 more letters than any other human being on the show." "Now, the original general Lee was a '69 Dodge Charger." "This is a '73 Duster that's" "All right, it's crap because I couldn't find a '69 Charger because the production probably used them all up." "They went through anywhere between 250 and 300 Dodge Chargers during the production of "The Dukes of Hazzard."" "And the producers had spotter planes up to fly over highways and look for dodge chargers, to pull people over to see if they wanted to sell their cars."

"Wood:" "We were competing to see who had the best Hollywood car" "$2,000 could buy." "[ Tires screech ]" "Our first challenge was a braking test."

" You did 77." " Right." "And I did more than 88, which makes KITT and I the winners." "Oh, yeah." "Oh, yeah." " Why do you do this?" " Feeling it." "Isn't that what you do when you win stuff?" "I don't know." "[ Laughs ]" "He's such a good winner." "Yeah." "Isn't he?" "Let's go kick him again." "[ Cheers and applause ]" "And now on to something that doesn't look anything like a hero car, but it's supposed to perform like one." "So, basically the exact opposite of our movie cars." "Exactly." "This is the 2011 Subaru STI." "It's the fastest Subaru ever built, and it's supposed to be fast on any surface you throw at it." "Well, is it?" "I took it to a ghost town deep in the mountains to find out." "Foust:" "When most people think of an off-road vehicle, they think of a truck or an SUV." "But Subaru thinks of this." "The 2011 Impreza WRX STI." "[ Laughs ]" "It's all-wheel drive, turbo-charged, and grips like a squirrel on amphetamines." "Yeah, there's definitely no doubt -- this car is a blast to drive." "It's not a supercar, but it is fast." "For 35 grand, it's unbelievably fast." "140 miles per hour on a "B" road -- bumpy, narrow, uneven pavement." "It's incredibly calm, cool, and collected." "The STI is the top of Subaru's performance line." "It comes with a 2 1/2-liter, 305-horsepower engine." "And for about 35 grand, you'll get an all-wheel drive car that'll do zero to 60 in under 5 seconds." "It's not great on road, and the stiffer suspension does help with that, but once this car gets off road and gets into the tricky stuff, it comes alive." "[ Tires screech ]" "You can't tell how good these cars are until you get them off road and push them beyond your own comfort." "[ Tires screech ]" "The grip the all-wheel drive system makes is violent." "You get all four wheels spinning in the same direction." "It's incredible, the reaction this car makes." "Subaru owners are unique yet predictable." "I could pretty much predict that your IT Guy drives a WRX or an STI and he honks and waves at other Subaru WRXes and STIs on the road." "The Impreza STI obviously has incredible off-road capabilities, but to really find out how good it was," "I wanted to put it to a test." "Subaru claimed that this car drives like a sports car over virtually any terrain." "But to see how fast this car goes over this terrain, we need a benchmark to race against it." "That benchmark is the dirt bike, perhaps the ultimate all-terrain vehicle." "And the only person we could find crazy enough to take on this challenge was "x" games gold medalist Cam Sinclair, riding a Yamaha YZ250." "Now that I had my challenger, we needed a location." "This is Eagle Mountain, once the largest open-pit iron mine in the Western United States." "The iron ore from here was manufactured into steel that was then used into making hardware for World War II the Korean War, and Vietnam." "So, if you served your country, chances are your tank came from here." "This 10,000-acre playground was the perfect place for an all-terrain race." "Our course would take us from the top of the mine, through a decrepit industrial area, and finish just past a ghost town." "Racing across an industrial mine is pretty dangerous." "So the attorneys made me drive the rally version of the STI for safety." "But even though it's been modified for racing, it's not that different from a street car." "The engine has slightly more horsepower, and it's equipped with a roll cage, better suspension, and gravel tires." "[ Engine turns over ]" "My number-one priority is to beat him." "[ Engine revs ]" "Number two is to try to keep my tongue in my mouth." "I had a higher top speed than my opponent, but that didn't mean I had the advantage." "I'd have to use the ribbon of road winding through the mine, while the dirt bike could cut straight through the obstacles and race directly towards the finish." "To be completely honest, my money wasn't on the Subaru." "Man:" "Three" "Two" "One." "Go!" "Foust:" "He got a jump start!" "Oh, man, he's fast off the line!" "The dirt bike immediately took advantage of its ability to cut across the roads, while all I could do was hammer down." "Oh, he's taking a shortcut!" "Oh, no!" "Wow, he's really fast over the rough stuff!" "Oh, he's taking another shortcut." "Oh, man!" "We'd split halfway down the Mountain." "I had 5 miles of windy dirt trails in front of me before I'd reached the bottom." "Cam took a more direct approach." "[ Engine revs ]" "There was a 50-degree slope into a 1/4-mile-deep pit-- --Life-threatening to climb down" "But on a bike-- --Suicidal." "But Cam was here to win." "With all this straightaway, there's no way he's anywhere close." "Yeah!" "Oh [Bleep] There he is!" "Cam's death-defying decision to bomb down the side of a cliff paid off." "We were now in the apocalyptic industrial area." "With 3 miles to go, it would be about maneuverability, not speed." "The dirt bike had the advantage in these close quarters, and I was falling behind." "And even worse, my tongue was hanging out." "He just gets through the buildings so fast." "It's unbelievable." "We were almost out of the industrial zone when I saw an opportunity to do something I couldn't resist." "Aah!" "Taking that jump may have put me behind, but I was hoping I could make it up once we hit the asphalt." "The challenge for us both was to find the exit on the other side." "Whoa, wrong turn." "And I immediately took a turn into a dead end." "Oh, my gosh." "That was close." "He could weave through the houses." "But so could I." "The Impreza was more than living up to its reputation as an all-terrain car." "But then cam decided to put me in my place." "We were both lost in the labyrinth, and the first to find the exit would take the race." "How do you get out of this place?" "Cam had spotted the exit and hit the highway." "Unless I found a shortcut, it was all over." "There's the exit right there." "[ Choir vocalizing ]" "Yes!" "Come on!" "Oh, my gosh." "It's neck and neck." "Time for those 305 horses to do their job." "Hey!" "Whew!" "Yeah!" "Wood:" "Coming up, we continue our Hollywood-car challenge" "[ Tires screech ]" "You lost your stick!" "Schirripa:" "All right, here we go, baby." "And one of the Sopranos hits our track." "I would make a good cab driver in New York, huh?" "Okay, so, you raced a biker through a ghost town, and you won." "How was it?" "It was pretty awesome." "I got to say, this is probably better off road than it is on road." "Really?" "Well, last year you took the mitsubishi Evo down a ski slope covered in snow, racing against two skiers." "So, I want to know -- how did the Subaru compare, since that's the main competitor?" "Like, the Subaru was perfect going up those gravel roads." "It's probably more fun on the dirt than the Evo, or the Evo's probably more fun on the pavement." "But I didn't know which one was faster." "To find out, though, we elicited the help of our infallible test driver, the Stig." "Foust:" "Stig getting comfortable." "[ Tires screech ] He's off." "The launch of these Subarus -- really incredible, very popular among younger drivers as drag cars for that reason." "Getting up to speed very quickly into the first corner, seeming very composed, heading actually into the Chicane with very little body roll." "I can say, behind the wheel, it feels like this car's leaning quite a bit more than it looks from the outside." "Stig finding his way into the teardrop -- now, this is where the all-wheel drive will really set the STI apart from our two-wheel-drive cars on this track, as it can put the power down so efficiently out of this tighter corner." "And sure enough, not a hint of wheel spin, just putting every horsepower straight to the ground, building up very impressive speed." "Blazing by the grass, not afraid to go off road, tearing by the tires -- very quick through here." "Now, this is a difficult section of the track -- very bumpy and high speed." "Sti just nailing it through there -- that's what this car is good at -- the rough stuff." "Stig working just a little bit there as he finds the apex with a hint of understeer." "Now we come into the S-turn section." "Now, quite a bit of weight on the front tires of this car makes it under steer a little bit through these corners." "Somehow managing to get through the last corner even with a drift, and across the line." "[ Cheers and applause ]" "Wow." "Now, that was abusive." "It really was." "I mean, he got everything possible out of this car." "There's no doubt of that." "But the question is, is it faster than the Evo?" "What do you guys think?" "I think it is." "[ Cheers and applause ] Yeah?" "Yeah, you would be wrong." "It's actually 0.8 of a second slower than the Evo, with a 1:30.0." " Still a good lap, I would say." " Yeah." "Still ties with an X6 M -- much more expensive car." "We just have a fast board, that's all." "I mean, it shows why those cars are paired up so closely." "It's kind of like the Chevy-Ford battle, but of Japanese rally cars." "Yes, but it's kind of the modern-day muscle-car battle." "They're both about the same price, same horsepower." "This is an incredibly capable car." "It's just not as good as the Evo on our road course." "Oh, you mean kind of like how your Nissan Delorean is nowhere near as good as my KITT Car in our movie-cars challenge." "Wood:" "We each spent $2,000 to create our favorite cars to ever star in a tv show or movie." "Now we were trying to find out who had chosen the best and met up for our next challenge." "Wood:" "You know what I've always wanted to try?" "That show "Rockford Files"?" "That guy would always -- you know, he would reverse and then spin around and take off." "A Rockford." " Is that what they call it?" " Yeah." " You can do that?" " Reverse-spin turn, yeah." "I think you could do it with almost any car." "You go first." "We'll try it after you." "Really?" "You're gonna do it if I do it?" " Oh, yeah, sure." " Done." "Foust:" "All right, so, basically I want to get up to speed, crank the wheel one rotation, lift off the gas." "When it gets halfway around, hit the brake, get the steering wheel straight, put it in a forward gear, and drive away, okay?" "Simple as that." "I can't wait to see this." "You think his door's gonna fly open?" "Oh, totally." "[ Chuckles ]" "Like a little bird." "I think he's gonna lose the entire air-conditioning system." "Okay, here we go, full throttle." "Got to get up -- Oh, it's not fast." "There's that." "[ Tires screech ]" "[ Hands clapping ]" "There went his prop rod for the door." "That was so scary." "That was nuts, huh?" "You forgot your door post." "The door threw me off." "I felt like everything was gonna come out the door." "Well, you stayed in." " Was that movie magic?" " Mnh." "Ferrara:" "Tanner made it look easy because he's a professional stunt driver." "My general Lee was up next." "I'll be honest with you " " I am not worried about my door flying open because I welded it shut." "I am worried, however, of the front end falling off, having enough power, turning, braking, and stopping." " Do you think he's gonna do okay?" " No." " Slow-steering rack, so he can't get it around." " Sure." "And then when it does come around, he's not gonna turn enough, so he's gonna end up backing up into us, okay?" "Can you run in those shoes?" "All right." "[ Laughs ]" "Huh?" "!" " Impressive." " Uh-huh." " Impressive." " Pretty nice, huh?" "I don't know what to say." "It was so ugly and so slow." "Wood:" "Adam tried, but his Rockford turn wasn't a success." "This is gonna work." "KITT and I attempt the rockford turn." "Hauling ass, hauling ass, hauling ass, hauling ass." "And Steve Schirripa" "Schirripa:" "All right, here we go, baby." "Tries something he's never done before." "Like a jockey -- "come on!"" "We have been given each 2,000$ to re-create our favorite cars from Hollywood." "My "Knight Rider" knock-off won the braking challenge." " What?" " Yes!" "Tanner's "Back to the Future" copy had completed the Rockford turn--- and Adam's "Dukes of Hazzard" stand-in failed miserably at both." "Oh [Bleep]" "[ Both laugh ]" "KITT had a chance to make it 2-2 as we lined up for a try at the rockford turn." "Wood:" "All right, I'm gonna try the rockford." "I've got the fastest car here." "This is gonna work." "Come on, you big hick." "Let's go!" "Here he comes." "All right." "All right." "Hauling ass, hauling ass, hauling ass, hauling ass." "Whoa-ho-ho!" "Oh, it worked!" "It worked!"

"You know what I mean?" ""Hurry up!"" "There you go." "[ Laughter ]" "So, there was some of that going on." " Pretty funny." " That's funny." "It's hysterical, unless it's your car." "[ Laughter ] The guy comes, picks up his -  but he never knew." " What do you mean, "he never knew"?" "The wife gets in the car in the morning and goes [Sniffs] "It smells like---"" "[ Laughter ]" ""Where the hell were you last night?"" ""I swear to God I was at Paul Anka's club." "I was by myself."" "So, you weren't the valet guy." " You didn't park the cars." " No, no." "Park the cars -- what, are you kidding me?" "I'm lucky I got myself to work." "All right, well, let's see how good you are." "Where do you think you're gonna end up?" " I'm gonna say that I beat Buzz Aldrin." " Okay." "I'm gonna go low." "I'm gonna " "Okay." "I'm gonna hold -- well, look -- I will tell you this -- you did it in 1:55.02" "Ah." "[ Cheers and applause ]" "..Which means you -- [ shouts indistinctly ]" "Let me show you where you are, man." "Let me show you where you are." "1:55.02." "You tied Michelle Rodriguez, who was in "The Fast and the Furious."" "All right." "That's not bad." "I've never had this opportunity before." "Do you want to be on top or on the bottom of Michelle Rodriguez?" "[ Laughter ]" "I'll go on top." "[ Laughter ]" "All right, all right, I'm not " "I am proud of that." "You should be." " I am proud of that." " He learned to drive a stick this morning." "All right?" "I'm proud of that." "[ Cheers and applause ]" "That's a good job." "That's a great job." "So, now let me ask you this -- what's your favorite car you've ever seen in a movie or tv?" " "My mother the car." - "My mother the car"?" " You ever see that car?" " Black and white?" "The car talked." "The mother was in the car." "Got reincarnated as the car." ""My mother the car" -- anybody remember that?" "[ Cheers and applause ]" "Steve Schirripa." "And he learned to drive a stick this morning." "[ Cheers and applause ]" "Not bad." "That's a great job, my man." "Thanks, man." "Wood:" "Coming up, our Hollywood cars are put to the ultimate test when they face the challenge of outrunning the baddest guy we know." "Foust:" "Aah!" "Ferrara:" "We were competing to see who had the best $2,000 car." "Oh [Bleep]" "[ Both laugh ]" "Rut's really bad "Knight Rider"" "won the braking test, and Tanner won the Rockford turn." "So they were tied." "My general Lee had not been performing very well, but if I could win the last challenge, it would be a three-way tie." ""One of the classic skills of a hero car" ""is the ability to outrun the bad guys." ""To find out which of you chose the best getaway car," ""you'll now try to evade a typical villain's car." ""The villain will pursue your car around this track." ""To catch you, he'll need to pass your car with his." "Be sure to avoid the movie-prop obstacles in your path."" "Where's the villain?" "[ Tires screeching ]" "Of course the Stig is here." ""You have a 15-second head start." "The car that avoids capture the longest wins."" "So, you go first." "You ready there, Stig?" "All right." "[ Engine revving ]" "Oh, man, those guys know that this car is not fast." "Problem is, the car's just remarkably heavy for how much power it has -- 160 horsepower, and it weighs 3,000 pounds." "It's ridiculous." "All right, Tanner." "You ready?" "Wood:" "Here we go." "Three, two, one" "Go!" "Go, baby!" "Go, baby!" "Go!" "That's really full-throttle." "That's sad that's it." "Look at it." "Wheels." "Look at that." "He is rarin' to go." "There we go." "[ Tires screech ]" "[ Laughing ] Look at the damn door." "Oh, man, we're flat-trucking it a little bit." "There he is!" "Oh, no!" "Aah!" "Whoa!" "[ Both laugh ]" "Through the barrier!" "Little crash there!" "It's okay!" "[ Tires screech ]" "Come on" "Stig is definitely getting closer." "Look at that." "[ Tires screech ] Here it comes." "He's gonna catch him now." "[ Tires screech ]" "Okay, he's got me." "He's got me." "He's got me." "He's got me." "He's there." "How long?" "3:05." "I'd say I lasted pretty long there." "I'm kind of surprised, to be honest with you." "Tanner's time was just over 3:00." "I was up next, and if I won this challenge, it would be a three-way tie." "Ferrara:" "Okay." "Half a seat belt, six cylinders, limited braking, terrible handling, and I'm being chased by the Stig." "This isn't good." "You ready for this?" "Okay." "Three, two, one, go!" "That was not very exciting." "Does he know this is a race?" "Come on." "Come on, come on." "Oh, there you go, baby." "[ Chuckling ] That thing looks like kind of classic." "Here comes the Stig." "Hold on." "That's it." "Shift when you have to." "Shift when you have to." "Don't stall." "Don't stall." "Don't stall." "[ Tires screech ]" "What's he doing?" "Don't stall." "Don't -- oh, you can't stall now." "Whoa!" "That's not good." "Hey, stop the clock." "Stop the clock." "That's it." "My duster may have looked the part, but it just didn't have the speed." "The general Lee was done." "1:19." "Oh, that's depressing." "Wood:" "The pressure was on." "If I was gonna beat Tanner," "I'd have to keep the Stig at bay for longer than 3:05." "Me and KITT were ready." " I know that he's got a car that sounds fast." " Yeah." "Is it quick?" "He's got a button he thinks that makes it quick." "David Hasselhoff, I need you." "I need you right now." "Three, two, one, go!" "Yeah, there it is." "Oh, I'm missing part of the steering wheel." "That is not gonna be very helpful." "Stig is on it." "[ Tires screech ]" "I really need that other part of the steering wheel." "Rutledge is almost on the wall." "Oh, Stig is working for it." "Oh!" "Oh!" "I'm almost sliding!" "Oh, no!" " He just passed you 1:19, 1:20." " Damn." "Of course he's passed me." "There's no fruit to hit." "[ Chuckling ] Oh, my arms are crossed over." "This "cutting the steering wheel" thing was a bad idea." "Come on, Stig!" "Oh, he's got him." "Oh [Bleep]" "[ Laughs ] 2:56, 2:57." "[ Tires screeching ]" "Oh, man!" "Why did I cut this steering wheel?" "Ugh!" "[ Car beeping ]" "Oh, that " " Did you hit your little "turbo" button?" " I tried." "The problem is I kept reaching for the steering wheel, and I had cut a little too much of it." "[ Chuckles ]" "How'd I do?" "You beat me." "You did." "Okay." "Thank you." "You beat me." "And" "Did I beat you?" "No, no." "See -- Did I beat you?" "You throttled him!" "[ Laughing ] What?" "What was the time?" "Tell me the time that I got." "3:34." "Ooh." "This is awesome!" "I knew I'd beat you guys!" "Oh, this is what this feels like." "Oh!" "I beat you!" "I beat you!" "Sorry." "I beat you." "I beat you more, though!" "This is awesome." "Your halter top is coming up." "This jacket was the best idea I've ever had." "Should we just leave him here, basking?" "Let him bask." "You bask." "We'll leave." "Winner." "That just happened!" "Don't turn around." "Don't turn around." "Yeah, that just happened!" "Just keep walking." "[ Cheers and applause ]" "Stop it." "Yes." "Just stop it." "I love the gloating." "It fits a grown man." "It's great." "Thank you." "Look, I'm sorry." "I don't get the opportunity to beat you guys at stuff that often." "It just felt so good." "Okay, but it's a budget win" "I could have got a real charger, and I would have beat you." "A budget win?" "If I had a real Delorean, I would have gone---Slower." "Yes." "[ Laughter ]" "I mean, the whole challenge here was to buy the best movie car you could for 2 grand." "The KITT was it." "I win." "See you next time on Top Gear."
