Just saw this in the related videos section of a video YouTube and ended up watching it all the way through:

Normal I hate Top Gear USA, and I say that as someone from the states but this was cool to see all there compared side by side.

 

Also, just a side note, as a motorcyclist myself watching Ernie Vigil ride is amazing!  Plus he's sponsored by Icon, the best moto gear brand there is!

 

This video is not available in your country

God, I gotta change my country 

Damn

I thought the title meant...literally a shootout...

Cool...my home town.  I'm going to have to watch this one.

I've seen this one a few times. And like you, OP, being from the states, I don't like the American Top Gear. It just isn't as funny as Top Gear UK. I genuinely love Top Gear UK, as my profile pic and motto would suggest, but this episode of Top Gear US was really good.

Sad thing was the Crown Vic would have probably bounced back from all that damage compared to all that plastic crap they drive now..

They should have had real cops doing the driving, they know what them cars are capable of better then anyone.

BUT the FPI did kick some SERIOUS ass.

Did I hear right...The Ford PI has twin turbo?  Geezzz...the mechanics are going to be working overtime.  

 

My Audi lost it's turbo 4-times, was not cheap to fix.  Like $3,500 a pop.  My coil pack went out like once a month though.

 

Anyhow, enjoyed the vid.  Thanks for posting.

From the title of this, I thought it was a cop car shooting at another car. Needless to say i'm very disappointed. 

Hm, I still don't like the American Top Gear, and I don't like the characters at all. But the FPI did kick some serious ass

 

For those who couldn't watch the video, try this one

Top Gear UK had something like this, but they weren't showing off the cars as much. They had police chases with the old hatchbacks they had, one would drive their hatchback, the other two drove police cars. But no just police cars, Scrap Yard Magnetic cranes, Military grade JCB minefield clearing diggers, and a tank

All in the "TGPD" (Top Gear Police Department). Yes. A police tank. And yes, they did blow up a hatchback or two.

Hey, it's the guy from Rescue Me! I enjoyed it . As for the people who can't view it, take the URL from the video and put it into a YouTube conversion site like http://www.clipconverter.cc/ it will take a while though

They're all ugly, they're all not much faster than the CVPI in the real world, they're all too expensive, Ford was the obvious winner even before the episode came out. They have the most contracts, and just look around the towns near you and the ones you live in. Almost all Fords.
